16 Fields in MM Pricing Procedure

Step:

Number that determines the sequence of the conditions with in a procedure.

It indicates the position of the condition type in pricing procedure.

Counter:

System uses the counter to count the steps and also it can be used to count mini steps of
same condition types. So that number of steps can be reduced in the pricing procedure and
hence enhancing the system performance.

Access number of the conditions with in a step in the pricing procedure.

During automatic pricing, the system takes into account the sequence specified by the
counter.

Condition Type:

It represents pricing element in pricing procedure as a base price, discount, freight and tax.

The condition type is used for different functions. In pricing, for example, the condition type
lets you differentiate between different kinds of discount; in output determination, between
different output types such as order confirmation or delivery note; in batch determination,
between different strategy types.

Description:

System copies description of condition type from its description.

From and To:

This can be used as a base to the condition type for calculating further value.

The range between the steps from and to can be used to specify the range between same
condition types. So that depending upon the condition type, the system deducts or adds the
total value of those condition types from specific common source.

Manual:

This indicator specifies whether the specific condition type can be determined manually
during purchase order processing.

If we check the box then the entry is going to be manual, if we uncheck it, it is going to be
automatic.

For Base Price and Taxes, the entry should be automatic.

For Discounts and Freights, The entry should be manual.

If we check the box, in ME21N when we go to conditions at the header/item level, the
condition type will not be listed. If we require we will have to manually enter it.

If we uncheck the box, in ME21N when we go to conditions at the header/item level, the
condition type will be listed.

Required:

This indicator specifies that particular condition type is mandatory in the pricing procedure.

If we check the box, in ME21N at the header/item level in the conditions tab, if we delete the
value in the condition type and try to save the document then system will not allow us to do it
and throws an error.

If we uncheck the box, then in ME21N at the header/item level in the conditions tab, if we
delete the value in the condition type and try to save the document then system will allow us
to save it, without giving any error.

This check box should be checked in condition types which are compulsorily required in
pricing procedure. Ex.: MWST.

If the condition type is checked with mandatory option, then value should be maintained for
that condition type, otherwise the system will not allow the user to process the document.

Statistical:

This indicator if it is activated will not allow the value of the condition type to be taken into net
Price calculation.

It is used only for information purposes only.

This indicator causes a surcharge or discount to be set in the document statistically (that is,
without altering the Net Price, however, the effective price will still be affected. See the last
point how the calculation takes place for the Net Price and the Effective Price).

As a rule all delivery costs must be checked as statistical.

In MM even if a condition is statistical, the value can still be loaded on the stock based on
your configurations of the condition type. For example if Accruals indicator is checked for the
condition type, the stock will be loaded with the condition value even if it is statistical in the
pricing procedure and posting will be made to the provision account.

Net Price= Basis price [-Rebates/+Surcharges]

includes non-statistical conditions only

Effective Price= Net price [+-]Delivery cost

contains statistical conditions and non-statistical conditions

Print:

The value of this field specifies whether line item can be printed or not in the purchasing
document and at what level or at what condition it is to be printed.

Subtotal:

The value of this field determines where the values of subtotals to be captured i.e. in which
table and which field.

Controls whether and in which fields condition amounts or subtotals (for example, a discount
or the cost of a material) are stored.

If the same fields are used to store different condition amounts, the system totals the
individual amounts.

These condition amounts or subtotals are used as a starting point for further calculations.
You may, for example, want a subtotal of all the discounts included in the pricing of a
purchase order.

Requirement:

It is a routine that is written by an ABAP consultant according to the business requirement.

By defining Requirement in condition technique we can restrict the access of condition type.

CalTyp- Condition formula calculation rule:

It is again a Routine that is written by ABAP Consultant.

It is an alternative formula for the condition type that can be used instead of standard
formulas.

If new routines are to be defined we follow the procedure given below.

Go to T.Code: VOFM. Maintain Requirements & Formulas

Click on the Formulas and then on the Condition Values.

We have a list of routines, we can ask ABAP consultant to create new routines based on the
client requests.

And we assign the application type.

BasType Condition formula for basis

Formula for determining the condition basis as an alternative to the standard.

It is again a Routine that is written by ABAP Consultant.

It is used as a basis to calculate value of the condition type instead of using it from the
FROM column.

Ex.: Freight FRA1.

Freight is calculated based on weight, volume etc. and not on the base price. In pricing there
is no entry of weight from which the value can be referred like we do for discounts using
base price. We have to get the value from the Material master.

In this column we can mention the value as 12 Gross Weight or 13 Net Weight.

During pricing, the system will consider the value that is mentioned in this column and
determine the freight based on this value.

Suppose we have Net weight: 100 kgs and Gross Weight: 150 kgs. And if we mention 13 in
this column then the Freight condition KF00 will be calculated using the weight as 100 kgs.

AccKey:

Key that identifies different types of G/L account.

The account key enables the system to post amounts to certain types of revenue account.
For example, the system can post freight charges (generated by the freight pricing condition)
to the relevant freight revenue account.

This is used if Purchase Account Management (PAM) is active for the company code; else,
this has no use in MM Pricing Procedure.

Accruals:

Key which identifies various types of G/L accounts for accruals or provisions.

With the aid of the account key, the system can post amounts to certain types of accruals
accounts. For example, rebate accruals which are calculated from pricing conditions can be
posted to the corresponding account for rebate accruals.

If certain delivery costs are required to be taken to a different provision account, you can
define your own accruals key and assign the provision account to this accruals key in OBYC
