Determination of Purchase Price (Example) in SAP MM

Purchasing creates a PO for 100 swivel chairs at $250 each, to be supplied by vendor Miller Co. No outline purchase agreement exists with this vendor. The agreed condition (discount of $10 granted on each chair purchased) is stored in an info record. No general price stipulations apply.

The system carries out the following price determination process:

1. Assignment of price calculation schema:

RM0000

2. Search for condition records belonging to the condition types listed in the calculation schema:




The system searches only for condition records belonging to condition types that are marked in the schema as non-manual.

Condition type PB00

1. Determination of access sequence

0002

2. Accesses within access sequence 0002

Accessing of condition table 068 (plant-specific agreement item) is not carried out

Accessing of 016 (contract item) is not carried out.

Table 017 (info record) is accessed and the condition record is found.

Condition records belonging to the other condition types are then sought.

In the example, no further condition records are found because condition type RB00 (discount) is a supplementary condition belonging to condition type PB00 and thus has no access sequence of its own.

The system then suggests a price of $240 per chair in the purchase order. The buyer can then enter further conditions (covering delivery costs, for example).

The following graphic illustrates the steps in the process:
