Whats the Difference between R/3 pricing and CRM Pricing?

There are lot of differences between SD Pricing and CRM Pricing the way it works. The pricing technique works same way in both SD and CRM. However there are no account Keys in CRM. 

You also have an IPC/Pricing engine in CRM for pricing routines. You have a TTE - tax engine for calculating taxes.

You can use R/3 as a leading system and download all pricing procedures, conditions etc.

Differences are there in terms of:

• Condition Processing
• Condition Technique
• Condition Maintenance

1. The source condition record cannot be displayed in SAP CRM for technical reasons, when processing conditions in a transaction. 

2. Unlike SAP R/3, SAP CRM recognizes several pricing transactions. This enables you to compare pricing transactions. This can be useful after failed searches or price changes.

3. The pricing type cannot be predefined when starting a new pricing transaction in SAP CRM.
