Manual Pricing

Use

During sales order processing, you can manipulate pricing at both the header and item level. The extent to which you can enter or change condition types manually during pricing depends on how the condition types are defined in Customizing for Sales For example, the following definitions are possible:

• A condition type is not restricted with regard to its manual processing (for example, the entry of freight costs).
• Manual entries have priority over results of pricing determined automatically or vice versa.
• A condition type cannot be changed manually (for example, in the case of automatically determined sales taxes).

Making Changes During Manual Processing

Depending on the extent to which manual processing is allowed for a condition type, you can perform the following activities during sales order processing:

• You can change a condition amount.
• You can delete a pricing element.
• You can enter additional pricing elements.

If you want to add pricing elements to a sales document, you can only enter pricing elements for which corresponding condition types are defined and for which manual processing is allowed.

Adding Pricing Elements Manually

You can enter pricing elements manually at both the header and item level.

Adding an Item Condition Manually

To enter a customer discount manually in the pricing screen of a sales order item:

1. In the pricing screen of the sales order item, choose Edit
® Create.

You reach the data screen where you can enter an additional condition.

2. Enter the customer discount K007 in the Condition type field.
3. Enter a percentage rate in the Rate field.
4. Select ENTER.

The system automatically inserts the new condition according to the sequence specified in the corresponding pricing procedure.

If you choose Edit ® New pricing in the pricing screen of a sales order item, the system re-calculates the price for the item based on the current condition records. In this case, all manual entries, except header conditions, are lost.

Adding a Header Condition Manually

You add a header condition record in the same way as you add the item condition except that you must activate the pricing afterwards (choose Edit ® Activate in the header pricing screen). When you activate the header condition, the system distributes the condition value proportionally among the various items in the sales document. This distribution can be based on the order value of each individual item or on other criteria specified in Customizing for Sales. For further information on header conditions, see Requirements for Automatic Pricing.

Changing Pricing Elements in Pricing Screens

Depending on how the condition types in your system have been configured, you can change automatically determined prices in the item pricing screen. If changes are allowed, you may be able, for example, to change the following data:

• The rate (for example, the amount of a price or the percentage of a discount).
• The currency in which the amount is calculated.
• The units of measure used to calculate the amount.

Some condition types (for example, sales taxes, and cash discount) cannot usually be changed manually.

Header conditions cannot be entered or changed at the item level, and item conditions cannot be entered or changed at the header level. Conditions that are defined as both header and item conditions can be edited at both levels.

Deleting Pricing Elements in the Header and Item Pricing Screens

You can delete most conditions in the pricing screens. Whether a condition type may be deleted is determined by the condition type set in Customizing for Sales.

To delete a condition, position the cursor on the corresponding condition and choose Edit ® Delete.

The system automatically recalculates pricing for the entire document.
