What are the 8 steps involved in condition technique?

By: Rohit Joshi

It starts with an understanding of the factors that influences the Price. Lets say it depends on Customer and Material. With this understanding now we will start with the Table where we will pass the above parameters. There is a table 5 which already has Customer and Material so we can now copy and rename it or use the same table in our Pricing Procedure. 
 
T Code VOK0
 
Step 1. Define/Choose your Table (with the requirement parameters that influence the price)
Step 2. Define your Access Sequence and include the above Table in your Access Sequence
Step 3. Define your Condition Type (There are four Price Types Basic Price, Discount, Freight and Tax) and include your Access Seq. Its always better to copy the Price Types provided by SAP.
Step 4. Now comes your Pricing Procedure where you include include Condition Types and format.
Step 5. Now comes Procedure Determination where you specify the Document Pricing Procedure and Customer Pricing Procedure along with Sales Organisation, Distribution Channel.
Step 6. Maintain Condition Records for your Condition Types
 
I guess you can make it 8 Steps by dividing some of the main steps. Few important things to note is following..
 
1. XD01 - Create Customer - Always ensure that you pick the right Customer Pricing Procedure from here.
2. VA01 - Sales Order - Ensure that you have the right Document Pricing Procedure from here
3. While Creating Access Sequence, check your Fields and ensure that they appear with any warning (Highlighted in Red)
4. Do not forget to mention your Access Sequence while defining your Condition Type
5. Always remember that your Procedure Determination has only Basic Price as Condition Type
6. Do not forget to mention the Range (From To) while creating your Pricing Procedure. 
 
I made most of the mistakes that appear above. Hope it helps.
