SAP Pricing (chemical industry), discounts in return order

[Former Member]

Dear gurus,

the question is the following:

If a sales order is created in chemical industry with a discount p.e. 3% and an ink container returns, the return order is based on the sales order and takes over pricing and all other information. But when I look at the discount condition type, the discount percentage is multiplied with factor 10, so discount becomes 30%. Anyone have an idea which setting in customizing is causing this? Thanks in advance 🙂 I have included screen shots for this SAP miracle:-)

the return order is based on the sales order and takes over pricing and all other information.

Check the copy control settings between sales order to return order in t.code VTAA.Go to item level and check the value assigned to the field Pricing type. Maintain value D -copy pricing elements unchanged and test by creating new documents.

Hi Shiva Ram,

thanks for the speedy reply. I checked the settings and it has status G: copy pricing elements unchanged and update tax... so this could not be the reason why. Could it be that it is being caused because there is no target Item Category assigned to the target Doc Type? I added a screen print to show you. It seems rather strange that a factor 10 is applied to this discount...

Hi,

Why don't you check the Analysis button in Pricing Condition tab at item level of the Return Sales Order. Also have a doubt that is RA00 a manual condition type means somebody can modify it.

Please paste the analysis screen so that we can understand what has happened in this Sales Order.

Thanks,

Suman

Hi,

In addition to Suman's reply, i just checked in standard SAP, RA00 doesn't have any access sequence. So, check your price analysis and see how the condition has been picked up.

Yes, you guys are right, it is a manual condition, just performed the price analysis and it says the same. Condition is entered manually sales order, but should be copied with same discount percentage instead of discount*10 %. Anyone else want to have a guess at this?

Hi Armand Keppenne,

I just simulated the scenario in my system. It did copy the % from the Invoice to returns order. I have checked the copy controls, I tried with both D & G, still RA00 is getting copied from Invoice.

Now, I request you to simulate one scenario in your system. I am sure it will copy from Invoice.

What i assume is user would have entered manually in return order.

Check and keep us updated on this.

Hi,

I think the problem for some strange reason has been solved. I replayed the scenario in our QA system and it takes the discount from the sales order (not with factor 10). I contacted the client and they proposed it could be in the scanner application, but then it should happen for all items, which is not the case.

I consider the issue solved then:) Thanks guys:)

Hi,

Is it with referece or without reference. If it is w/o reference, check if anyone has changed the discount condition records.

I hope the order or returns dates are different.
