This real world series teaches SAP SD pricing for freight through project-based learning, requiring you to configure to real business requirements, make mistakes, and learn hands-on with experienced practitioners.
John von Aspen shares two decades of real-world SAP SD and service management experience, focusing on sales and distribution through hands-on configuration and project work.
Implement real-world freight pricing in SAP SD by gathering and clarifying business requirements, configuring pricing options, and applying hands-on, practical techniques for shipping and handling charges.
Define and refine pricing requirements through a collaborative, iterative project flow—from requirements elicitation and blueprint design to prototyping and delivery—ensuring early business involvement and effective testing.
Identify and refine business requirements by probing scope and pain points. Pursue an optimal, configurable SAP solution that is easily maintainable and easily changeable through configuration, without heavy custom code.
Real world SAP pricing for freight highlights building pricing rules that deliver consistent, automated freight pricing across channels, with easy maintenance and flexible configuration to deliver business value.
Analyze SAP SD freight pricing: five dollars shipping per order, prime and threshold free shipping, weight-based pricing in Europe, and zone pricing in Chile; learn to ask clarifying questions.
Design the freight pricing approach by weighing standard pricing configuration with condition types and pricing procedure against a freight material line item, and recommend pricing-based handling for flexibility.
Organize the SAP SD freight pricing setup by capturing requirements in a spreadsheet, clarifying per-order pricing, oversize exceptions, prime discounts, and web promo tracking.
Initial setup of master data and pricing procedure for use in configuration.
Continued setup of initial pricing procedure and determination.
Review our requirements and get some general ideas around how to configure them.
Configuration of the first requirement - a freight charge per sales order.
Configure a freight condition type in SAP SD by copying an order value, converting it to a fixed surcharge, and adding an access sequence for predefined pricing.
Configuration of the first requirement - a freight charge per sales order.
Configuration of the first requirement - a freight charge per sales order.
What about the access sequence, and clarifications on billing.
Create a condition type for charging for oversize items.
Access sequence and grouping
Create an SAP SD pricing condition table with material group one and sales or distribution channel, including validity status, then add it to the access sequence for an oversize charge.
Test oversize freight pricing and diagnose why the condition doesn't populate; adjust the access sequence to use line-item data via the field catalog for header vs line item pricing.
Problem solving
New field for oversize pricing
The lecture demonstrates oversize freight pricing in SAP SD, including heavy items commission group creation, material master updates, and a one dollar per kilogram oversize charge for Z one.
Overriding the freight price
Configuration of the next requirement - Prime customers are not charged freight.
Orders over $25 should get free freight
Initial discussion of a promotion to offer free freight for web orders
Web promo configuration continued.
Analyze how freight costs drive pricing decisions, comparing flat five-dollar fees with actual costs based on weight, distance, and packaging. Learn how billing can reflect true freight charges.
Configure SAP SD pricing to bill freight at delivery by creating a separate Europe delivery pricing procedure and using manual or interface inputs to finalize freight for billing.
Review the project flow from requirements to design and build, emphasizing prototyping and early feedback, and apply real-world SAP SD pricing for freight, including group conditions and delivery pricing.
You've learned basic SAP SD Pricing. Now it's time to step out of canned classroom courses and learn how to apply it. In this course we will take a set of real world pricing requirements for freight/shipping and configure them. After completing this course you will:
•Increase your understanding of how to work with and configure SAP SD pricing including Pricing Procedures, Condition Types, Access Sequences, Pricing Tables
•Understand the context and use of pricing within an SAP project
Configure freight surcharges, promotions, exceptions, and delivery pricing in SAP SD (Sales and Distribution)
