Reasons For Making Any Pricing Procedure in SAP

1. Why we are maintaining separate pricing procedure for inter company sales and business processs.

2. What is the different between standard and inter company pricing procedure and what type condition type we are using in this intercompany.

There are two simple reasons for making any Pricing Procedure in SAP SD Modules.

1) Business Reason. What are the pricing aspects or strategies you want to apply for the client requirement in order to sell their
goods or render services, is all about the reason for various pricing procedures.

Eg: Domestic sales pricing procedure,
- Export Pricing Procedure,
- A rebate pricing procedure or
- A High Discount oriented pricing Procedures.
- A repair pricing procedures.

You have your own conditions intended to few transactions only. Put all this conditions as a set defining your own Procedures. It may even include special requirements and formulas applied for such Pricing Procedures.

2) A special pricing procedures, in order to facilitate added functionalities of SAP pricing architecture, we must define new
pricing procedure. SAP Standard programmes checks these special Indicators in-order to do some required functions.

As a example 1, you need to have a Pricing procedure for condition supplement inorder to use the condition supplements. The condition supplement pricing procedure must be given in the condition type definitions (v/06) of the Pricing Condition where you need to supplement, without which SAP SD Condtion Supplements functionality doesnt work.

As a example 2, you need to have a Pricing procedure for Inter Company Billing Conditions(IV01 & IV02) inorder to be active for Inter Company Billing specific transactions. Thus make sure that, the procedure wouldnot apply for non-Inter company transactions.

Eg: KA0000 for Condition Supplement for KA00
- PR0000 for Condition Supplement for PR00
- ICAA01 for Inter-Company Billing

Here I would like to remind about a important field in pricing.

In V/08 of defining a new Pricing Procedure, in main screen, you have a field called TSPP (Transaction Specific Pricing Procedure). This has to be ticked on for Intercompany Billings.

The SAP help reads for this field as Under:

Transaction-specific pricing procedure

Pricing procedure transaction-specific indicator

Before Release 4.0A, no special pricing procedures were used for intercompany billing and rebate credit memos, programs were just set accordingly to deal with these situations. As of Release 4.0A you are offered greater flexibility in the form of the option to define special pricing procedures for intercompany billing and rebate credit memos. For reasons of future compatability, you will still be able to use the old program specifications. For this reason, you must set this indicator if you want to create a special pricing procedure. This is to prevent the program settings being used.

This indicator is also used as of Release 4.0A to redetermine the condition class and the statistical condition indicator when copying from a reference document.

Example:
You copy prices from a shipment document to the billing document. The prices should lead to a surcharge in the billing document. This is guaranteed by the redetermination of the condition class in the pricing procedure.

Same case with Standard Pricing procedure or Inter Company Pricing Procedure.

This configuration is done when user request for new pricing condition type other than the standard ones provided by the system.
