Creating a New Pricing Procedure in SAP
Pricing procedures in SAP control how prices are determined in sales documents. Setting up a new pricing procedure involves defining condition types, access sequences, and assigning them to sales areas. However, a pricing procedure cannot be directly linked to a plant. Instead, it is determined based on specific parameters, which we will explore in detail.Transaction Code for Creating a Pricing Procedure

How to Assign a Pricing Procedure to a Specific Plant
SAP does not provide a direct way to assign a pricing procedure to a specific plant. Instead, pricing procedures are determined using the OVKK transaction, which relies on multiple parameters.Pricing Procedure Determination: Key Parameters
SAP determines the pricing procedure based on the following elements:- Sales Organization – Defines the selling entity.
- Distribution Channel – Specifies how products/services reach customers.
- Division – Represents a product or service line.
- Document Procedure – Set in the sales or billing document type.
- Customer Pricing Procedure – Defined in the customer master data.

Plant and Pricing Procedure Relationship
Since pricing procedures are not directly assigned to plants, a workaround is needed.✅ Solution: Use Requirement No. 22 during the condition table setup to enforce plant-based pricing.
