How MM pricing works
Purchasing uses the condition technique: a calculation schema (pricing procedure) combines condition types (gross price, discounts, freight, tax) to compute the net price on a PO. Condition records (e.g. a vendor’s agreed price for a material) supply the values automatically.
Key elements
- Condition types: price, discount, surcharge, freight.
- Calculation schema: how conditions combine.
- Condition records: the actual values (info records, contracts).
- Purchasing info records: vendor-material price relationships.
Why it matters
Pricing drives the value posted at goods receipt and invoice verification, so errors flow straight into inventory value and payables. The condition technique is shared conceptually with SD pricing, so learning it here transfers. Getting condition records and the schema right ensures POs cost what they should.
Common pitfalls
- Missing/wrong condition records, incorrect PO price.
- Misconfigured calculation schema.
- Ignoring info records that supply prices automatically.
