How SD pricing works
SD uses the condition technique: a pricing procedure combines condition types (price, discounts, surcharges, freight, tax) in sequence to compute the net value of each item. Condition records (e.g. a price list, a customer-specific discount) supply the values automatically based on access sequences.
Key elements
- Condition types: price, discount, surcharge, freight, tax.
- Pricing procedure: the sequence/logic of conditions.
- Access sequences & condition records: where values come from.
- Condition tables: the keys (customer/material/price list).
Why it matters
Pricing drives the revenue posted at billing, so it must be exactly right. It is highly configurable to model complex commercial rules (customer discounts, promotions, freight). The same condition technique appears in MM, so mastering it here transfers. Pricing is a frequent, high-value SD specialisation.
Common pitfalls
- Missing/wrong condition records, wrong price.
- Misordered pricing procedure, wrong calculation.
- Overcomplex pricing that is hard to maintain.
