Pricing in Sales and Distribution (SD)

Companies have developed numerous pricing and discount strategies—some unencumbered by any logical methodology

SAP has developed the Condition Technique as a structured but flexible approach to setting conditions: prices, discounts, surcharges and taxes

The Condition Technique has proven itself to be such a good programming concept that it has been applied to other areas in SAP
