In this SAP tutorial, learn how to define Pricing Procedure Determination in the SAP Sales and Distribution (SAP SD) module step-by-step using Transaction Code OVKK. This process ensures the SAP system can automatically determine the appropriate pricing procedure during sales document processing.

What is Pricing Procedure Determination?

Pricing procedure is a technique to determine the price of goods and services in the SAP ERP system.
It is a collection of condition types specified for a customer or the sales document used to determine the price. For example, suppose the sales department of your organization categorizes the customers on the basis of city, and defines a separate pricing procedure for each. Each of these pricing procedures will contain its own set of condition type to determine the price of goods and services for the respective customer category. Pricing procedure determination is the process that the SAP ERP system uses to determine which pricing procedure is to be used for a customer or sales document. The SAP system automatically determines the pricing procedure on the basis of

  1. Sales Area (Sales Organization, Distribution Channel, Division)
  2. Document Pricing Procedure (associated with the sales document type)
  3. Customer Pricing Procedure (from the customer master data)

The data are retrieved from the headers of the sales document. Once the mySAP ERP system ascertains the adequate pricing procedure, it performs the following functions:

  1. Retrieves condition types from the pricing procedure
    Determines the access sequence based on the condition type selected
  2. Locates the valid condition records according to the access sequence selected
  3. Retrieves the condition record and copies into the sales document

This configuration ensures the system applies the appropriate pricing rules for different customer categories, sales channels, and documents.
