Dear Mohammed

a) Pricing Date

The pricing date is the date defined by date-dependent pricing elements such as conditions and the foreign currency rate.

Enter the identification code for the date to which a condition of this type is to be calculated in the sales document. If you do not enter an identification code, the pricing date or the date of services rendered is used.

For example, It is a good idea to use the goods issue date as the calculation date for freight surcharges. In this case, you enter 'A' as the identification code

b) Account Group

May be it would be appropriate if you asked "how", instead of "why".

The master records in the customer hierarchy are controlled by their account groups. You can use the same account groups for customer hierarchies as those used for partner determination in sales and distribution.

An important requirement for proper sales order processing is that each customer can only include those functions relevant for him in a document. You can achieve this by assigning permitted partner functions to an account group.

Thanks

Hi Mohammed,

1.Pricing Date in Condition Type:-

To make a particular condition type dependant on pricing date or Billing date or Creation date or order date

E.g:- If We have a pricing procedure where a couple of condition types are only displayed, when we go to the header details in VA01 and we need put the pricing date manually in the Sales Tab. Instead of putting manually we can control the condition type through the Pricing Date field.

2, Account group:-

Accoun group is the key thing to create a customer master data.It controls the field selection in the customer master.

Based on the Account group only we can come to know, the Customer belongs to Ship-to-party or Sold-to-party or Bill-to-party or Payer

Based on the Customer Account group all the transaction (integration) will takes place between FI and SD.

I hope it will help you,

Regards,
