SAP Pricing – Questions & Answers with Emojis
1️⃣ What is the Condition Technique in SAP, and what are its key components?
🔹 The Condition Technique is a framework used in SAP for pricing, free goods, output
determination, etc. It helps determine the correct price based on predefined rules.
🛠️ Key Components:
✔ Condition Table 📊 – Stores condition records
✔ Access Sequence 🔍 – Searches for condition records
✔ Condition Type 🏷️ – Defines pricing elements (e.g., PR00, K004)
✔ Pricing Procedure 📑 – Defines the sequence of condition types
2️⃣ What is an Access Sequence, and how does it work in pricing determination?
🔹 Access Sequence is a search strategy 🔍 used to find the correct condition record from
condition tables.
✅ It searches step-by-step until it finds a valid condition record.
✅ If a condition is found, the search stops (unless "Exclusive" is unchecked).
✅ Used in pricing, free goods, output, and text determination.
📌 T-Code: V/07
3️⃣ What will happen if I uncheck the "Exclusive" indicator in an Access
Sequence?
🔹 If "Exclusive" is unchecked, SAP will continue searching through all access levels, even if it
finds a valid condition record.
✅ Multiple condition records may be considered.
✅ Useful if you want SAP to check all possible pricing records and apply the most relevant
ones.
4️⃣ What is the impact of checking the "Exclusive" indicator in an Access
Sequence?
🔹 If "Exclusive" is checked, SAP will stop searching as soon as it finds the first valid condition
record.
✅ Improves performance by reducing unnecessary searches.
✅ Only the first valid condition record is applied.
📌 Best Practice: Use "Exclusive" when you only want one valid condition to be applied.
5️⃣ What is a Condition Table, and how does it store pricing data?
🔹 A Condition Table is a database table 📊 that stores condition records based on key
combinations (e.g., Customer + Material, Sales Org + Material Group).
✅ Condition records are created in VK11.
📌 T-Code: V/03 (Create), V/04 (Change), V/05 (Display)
6️⃣ What are the consequences of saving a Condition Table in a local object?
🔹 If you save a Condition Table in a local object, it will not be transportable 🚫 to other SAP
systems (e.g., from Development → Quality → Production).
✅ Works only in the current system.
⚠️ Not recommended for business use. Always assign it to a transport request for system-
wide availability.
7️⃣ In which type of request is a Condition Table stored in SAP?
🔹 A Condition Table is stored in a Workbench Request 🛠️, which allows it to be transported
across SAP landscapes (Development → Quality → Production).
📌 T-Code to check transport request: SE09 / SE10
8️⃣ What is the Field Catalogue in SAP, and why is it important?
🔹 The Field Catalogue is a predefined list of fields 📜 available for creating Condition Tables.
✅ Ensures only relevant fields are used in pricing conditions.
✅ Helps in customizing price determination without modifying SAP tables.
9️⃣ What happens if a required field is not available in the Field Catalogue?
🔹 If a field is missing from the Field Catalogue, you must add it manually to the pricing
structures.
🔟 What is the purpose of the Condition Index in pricing determination?
🔹 The Condition Index 🔢 enables faster searching of condition records across different
condition tables.
✅ Helps in reporting & analysis of pricing data.
✅ Can be activated in condition type settings (V/06).
✅ Useful for searching expired or obsolete pricing records.
📌 T-Code: V/06 (Access Sequence) → Set Condition Index
1️⃣1️⃣ Why is the Condition Update used, and how does it impact pricing?
🔹 Condition Update allows SAP to limit condition usage based on specific criteria (e.g.,
quantity, value, or time period).
✅ Ensures promotional discounts apply only within defined limits.
✅ Once the limit is reached, the discount automatically stops.
📌 T-Code: V/06 → Condition Type → Activate Condition Update
1️⃣2️⃣ Does SAP impose a restriction on the number of orders in a Condition
Update?
🔹 Yes, SAP can restrict the number of orders 📉 using condition updates.
✅ Example: A discount (10% off) applies only for the first 100 orders.
✅ Once the limit is reached, the system ignores the condition.
1️⃣3️⃣ Which Info Structure is used for the Condition Update process?
🔹 S074 is the standard Info Structure used for Condition Updates in SAP.
1️⃣4️⃣ What happens if the "Group Condition" indicator is checked in pricing?
🔹 If Group Condition is checked ✅, SAP applies the pricing condition based on the total
quantity across all items in the order.
✅ Useful for bulk discounts and cumulative pricing.
📌 Example: Buy 100 units across multiple items, get a 5% discount on the total.
1️⃣5️⃣ What is a Group Condition Routine, how many routines exist, and what is
their purpose?
🔹 A Group Condition Routine defines how a group condition is calculated in pricing.
✅ Used for volume-based pricing.
✅ There are multiple routines available in V/08 (Pricing Procedure).
📌 Common Routine Examples:
✔ 1 – Overall Document
✔ 2 – Across all cond.typs etc
1️⃣6️⃣ What is Rounding Difference Comparison, and why is it relevant in pricing?
🔹 Rounding Difference Comparison ensures that pricing rounding differences are handled
correctly.
✅ Avoids minor currency mismatches in invoices.
✅ Helps maintain accurate price calculations.
1️⃣7️⃣ Why do we assign a Condition Type in transaction OVKK, and what is its
significance?
🔹 The Condition Type is assigned in OVKK to link pricing procedures with sales areas.
✅ Ensures correct pricing procedure selection based on sales org, distribution channel, and
division.
📌 T-Code: OVKK
1️⃣8️⃣ What is the function of the Exclusion Indicator in SAP pricing?
🔹 The Exclusion Indicator prevents SAP from applying a condition if another condition is
met.
✅ Helps in condition comparison (e.g., Best of two discounts).
1️⃣9️⃣ What is the common transaction code (T-Code) used for pricing
configuration in SAP?
📌 Most Common T-Codes:
✔ VOK0
✔ V/06 – Condition Type Configuration
✔ V/08 – Pricing Procedure Configuration
✔ VK11 – Condition Record Maintenance
2️⃣0️⃣ What is a Condition Supplement, and how is it used in pricing?
🔹 A Condition Supplement is an additional condition that applies automatically when a
primary condition is met.
✅ Example: A base price (PR00) includes a mandatory surcharge (KP00).
✅ Supplements are maintained in VK11.
🚀 Conclusion
SAP Pricing is complex, but these explanations should make it easier to understand!
