Condition Maintenance at Product Category Level

[Former Member]

Dear Gurus,

Could you please advise how to enable/define pricing conditions/discounts at product category level? In the 'comprehensive' SAP CRM training material it says "In order to define condition types on the product category level, you have to define the relevant category hierarchies as pricing relevant".

Question is, how? I am not at all impressed with SAP training documentation. Hope to get some meaningful answer here.

Many thanks!

Hi Leon,

Once you have product category maintained for you product.

You need to create condition table for creating your product category based condition record.

IMG Path: SAP Implementation Guide>Customer Relationship Management>

Basic Functions>Pricing>Define Settings for Pricing-->Create Condition Tables

Check table 'SAP0PCTA' and create similar kind of table.

Include the table in access sequence of required condition type.

In the IMG Path:

SAP Implementation Guide>Customer Relationship Management>Master Data

>Conditions and Condition Technique>Condition Technique: Basics-->Create Maintenance Group

find condition group 'PRODPRICES' and 'PRODDISCOU'.

Select and go to second level customizing by clicking on 'Condition Maintenance Group Details' in left panel.

Create a new entry for a condition type/Condition table (Created above).

Save settings.

You have to wait for 12:00 AM night to get your pricing buffer refresh so that your setting will take effect, else you need to restart you IPC (Consult Basis Admin).

Hi leon,

Please ensurer that you have following set types defined for a Product Category, Once these set Types are there. Then go to the Product Master and maintain the sales area, and then go to the Condition Tab, add your pricing condition there.

You need to check your Item Categories too whther it is relevant for pricing, also check you the pricing procedure .

Hi Arun,

Thanks for your quick reply. However, my question is not how to define condition type in product master. I want to know how to define condition type on the product CATEGORY level, in other words, one level above the actual product.

Many thanks,

Leon

Please confirm whether you had configures the Product Category relevant for pricing.

You can check this in SPRO > CRM>Master Data --> Product ---> Product Category --> Define Pricing Relevant Heirachy, and also assign the same to the Product Category.

Hope this Helps.
