Master Data in Sales and Distribution
Purpose
Sales processing is based on the following basic structures:
• Every company is structured in a certain way. In order to work with the SAP System your company structure has to be represented in the system. This is done with the help of variousorganizational structures. In sales and distribution, products are sold or sent to business partners or services are performed for them. Data about the products and services as well as about the business partners is the basis for sales processing. Sales processing with the SAP System requires that the master data has been stored in the system. In addition to sales and distribution, other departments ofthe company such as accounting or materials management access the master data. The material master data is stored in a specific structure in order to allow access from these different views. The processing of business transactions in sales and distribution is based on the master data. In the SAP System, business transaction are stored in the form of documents. These sales and distribution documentsare structured according to certain criteria so that all necessary information in the document is stored in a systematic way.

Pricing and Conditions
Purpose
The term pricing is used broadly to describe the calculation of prices (for external use by customers or vendors) and costs (for internal purposes, such as cost accounting). Conditions represent a set of circumstances thatapply when a price is calculated. For example, a particular customer orders a certain quantity of a particular product on a certain day. The variable factors here - the customer, the product, the order quantity, the date - determine the final price the customer gets. The information about each of these factors can be stored in the system as master data. This master data is stored in the form ofcondition records.

The Condition Technique in Pricing
The condition technique refers to the method by which the system determines prices from information stored in condition records. In Sales and Distribution, the various elements used in the condition technique are set up and controlled in Customizing. During sales order processing, the system uses the condition technique to determine a variety ofimportant pricing information. For example, the system automatically determines which gross price the customer should be charged and which discounts and surcharges are relevant given the conditions that apply.

Example of Pricing in the Sales Order The following figure shows how the condition technique works in the background to produce the pricing information. The diagram shows how the variouselements in the condition technique work together.

1. The system determines the pricing procedure according to information defined in the sales document type and the customer master record. 2. The pricing procedure defines the valid condition types and the sequence in which they appear in the sales order. In the example, the system takes the first condition type (PR00) in the pricingprocedure and begins the search for a valid condition record. 3. Each condition type in the pricing procedure can have an access sequence assigned to it. In this case, the system uses access sequence PR00. The system checks the accesses until it finds a valid condition record. (Although you cannot see this in the diagram, each access specifies a particular condition table. The table provides the keywith which the system searches for records). 4. In the example, the first access (searching for a customer-specific material price) is unsuccessful. The system moves on to the next access and finds a valid record. 5. The system determines the price according to information stored in the condition record. If a pricing scale exists, the system calculates the appropriate price. In the example, the...
