SD Pricing And Conditions Release Status

Use

The release status for condition records in a sales deal enable you to limit the use of records that have already been created.

Release status has the following characteristics:

• no entry: released
• A: Blocked
• B: Released for price simulation
• C: released for price simulation and planning

The amount and significance of individual characteristics is defined using domain fixed values and can not be maintained.

Maintenance of the release status is carried out in the sales deal itself (in the proposed values block), is transferred over to the condition records concerned and can then not be changed for these records.

When setting up a new sales deal (with copy), a proposed value is suggested for the release status, which can be set up in Customizing for the agreement type.

A record blocked for an application is treated in the access, as though it has been identified with a deletion indicator. It can however be recognized and displayed as such via the log functionality in Pricing.

The characteristic Pricing Simulation is only used in the report SDNETPRO, which gives a net price list.

The release status for condition records in a sales deal is displayed in the status information and on the detail screens for condition maintenance.

If when maintaining individual condition records a sales deal is assigned to the condition record using the transaction VK12, the release status from the sales deal is used for this record. When changing the release status using this sales deal or changes to the sales deal, the user will be notified of any changes to the status.

Awarding release status is only possible for sales deals and not for bonus agreements or individual record levels. Maintenance of the status for individual condition records is not implementable for the current status of the condition master records. This is connected with the overlapping of validity periods in combination with the release status, which does not occur in sales deals, as you can not create a condition record with the same key in another sales deal.
