Hi,

There are many situations where we need to define different pricing procedures.

After defining them we are going to assign them to sales order types and billing document types.

In a general case the correct answer for this is two.

1)Document pricing procedure

2)Customer pricing procedure.

We are going to maintain them in "OVKK" T.Code.

Pricing pricedure is assigned to sales and billing documnet types accounting to the document pricing procedure.

The pricing procedure appeared here in customer master will be comin from this customer pricing procedure.

But in your project it will be depends on your project requirement.

it depends upon the client requirement. it varies from client to client, u can't say like u have to have this many pp's for this kind of business. as some of our members told generally we use that pricing procds, but there is no specific number unless it is in real client.

Hi there,

Pricing procedure is determined by: Sales area / doc pricing procedure / customer pricing procedure.

If any of these factors differ, you can have a different pricing procedure.

For eg: you can have a different pricing procedure for all India specific orders which has the VAT & customs condition types where as US pricing procedures has state specifc taxes.

It depends on the geographical scope of your proj. If you proj is implemented worldwide, then you will surely have different pricing procedures for different countries. Here the sales area will differ.

If it is implemented only within the same country, then it also it is possible to have different pricing procedures. Here the doc pricing procedure may change. For trade scenarios you will have 1 pricing procedures, for inter company or 3rd party sale you will have a different pricing procedure. For free goods you may choose to have a different pricing procedure.

It is also ossible to combine pricing procedures for trade, free goods & rebates. Here you will put a condition in the requirement routine of the condition types. Condition types will apply accordingly.

Hello Sivanand,

Yes, I agree that there are price differences between US & India. But can I know how in India we deal with the pricing when compared with the US pricing? Also, there are resellers so how do they price the products in India and in US?

Thanks.

Hi,

Pricing Procedure can be more than one depending upon your business requirement. Suppose you want to create a pricing procedure for domestic sales and another for export sales and may be one more for scrape sales ........
