Pricing procedure for purchase order
DEFINATIONS
To describe how the price determination
process is controlled in SAP system.
Gross price – without surcharges and
discounts
Net price – with all surcharges and
discounts and without delivery cost
Effective price – final price with all
surcharges, discounts and delivery
cost.

2. SAP www.consult4scm.com 2
Check the dependencies under which
prices, discounts, surcharges arrived at.
Example: Is different conditions apply to
individual material group?
The basis for calculating discounts and
surcharges etc.,
Then bring these pricing dependencies into
line with the criteria for price determination
in the SAP system.

Condition Table
In this we define price dependencies
We can make prices, discounts and
surcharges dependent on almost all the
fields in a purchasing document
We define the dependencies with the aid
of condition tables
In condition table we specify the
combination of fields for which we create
condition records

4. SAP www.consult4scm.com 4
Access sequences
Access sequence is a search strategy with the aid
of which the SAP system searches for valid
condition records of a certain condition type
Example: We can stipulate for a price that the SAP
system first searches price for a specific plant, then
for a generally applicable price.
For condition types for which we wish to maintain
conditions with their own validity period, we must
assign an access sequence.
With this access sequence we define which fields
the SAP system checks in searching for a valid
condition record.

5. SAP www.consult4scm.com 5
Condition types
Condition types used in SAP system, to
represent pricing elements such as prices,
discounts, surcharges, taxes, delivery costs
They are stored in the system in condition
records
We can group them together in access
sequence for condition types which we wish to
maintain with their own validity period
We stipulate the fields which the SAP system is
to check in its search for a valid condition
record and their sequence of application of
price
We should not change the condition types that
are included in the standard SAP system
supplied

Calculation Schema
In the MM (Materials Management)
area, a calculation schema is a
framework of steps used to calculate
or determine something - is used
among other things to calculate
costs, prices, period end rebates,
taxes and their sequence of
application in calculating prices

7. SAP www.consult4scm.com 7
Schema group
Schema group will allow us to group together
purchasing organizations that use the same
calculation schema
Schema group will allow us to group together
vendors for whom the same calculation
schema is applicable
Calculation schema is also known as pricing
procedures

8. SAP www.consult4scm.com 8
Schema determination
In this step we assign purchasing transactions and
processes to a calculation schema
In other words, we specify the cases in which a
certain schema is used
For standard purchase orders – depending on the
schema group of the vendor and the purchasing
organisation
For stock transport order – depending on the
supplying plant, the document type and the
purchasing organisation

Condition table define the price
dependencies Access sequence is a
search strategy
Condition types are to represent price
elements
Calculation schema is a framework of
steps used to calculate price in purchase
order
Schema group is to group together
vendors, purchase organizations with
same valid calculation schemas.
Schema determination is to assign
transactions to calculation schema
