SAP® Pricing is one of the most flexible functionalities in the SAP system, but it's also one of the most complex. Project team members and consultants alike avoid having to deal with Pricing. Why is that? Although the standard SAP documentation explains SAP's individual Pricing capabilities, it does not clearly illustrate how the individual pieces connect as a whole. Pricing expert Matthias Liebich provides this missing link with The Ultimate SAP Pricing Guide. Through easy-to-read, step-by-step instructions, Matthias guides you through real-life business examples in how to use the SAP Pricing functionality. If you would like to get a better understanding of SAP Pricing and become a respected Pricing resource in your company or a sought-after Pricing consultant, The Ultimate SAP Pricing Guide is the right start for you.

The Ultimate SAP Pricing Guide - Review,
By
This review is from: The Ultimate SAP Pricing Guide: How to Use SAP's Condition Technique in Pricing, Free Goods, Rebates and Much More (Paperback)
In his first book "The Ultimate SAP Pricing Guide", Matthias Liebich tackles one of the SD modules' most daunting topics with hands-on practical examples, detailed screen and field explanations, and words of caution to guide the reader. The book is written for the comfortable SAP user, and can easily be understood by those in business, functional or technical roles. Unlike other SAP instructional books, "The Ultimate SAP Pricing Guide" walks through pricing set up screen by screen and explains the "WHY" behind many of the features and icons in the IMG. He offers many details in SAP basics such as how to configure objects so as to avoid conflicts at time of upgrade.
As a 15 year SD experienced consultant, I found myself caught off guard by the subtle details I had overlooked (or was completely unaware of) buried in the treasure chest that is Pricing Config. I intend to share this book with more Junior SAP consultants as a teaching tool to help with concepts such as Condition Technique, an often confusing method of determination that leaves many functional analysts holding their heads. The topic, once understood, branches far outside of Pricing and into the SD arena, and can be applied in concept to Output determination, Listings/Exclusion, and Material Determination. The challenge is in the mastery of Condition Technique, which is made easier with the help of "The Ultimate SAP Pricing Guide", and provides a foundation that crosses over into other key areas of the module. Chapter 3 is, to me, the culmination of the essentials of pricing. Here the author addresses Pricing Analysis, to a level of detail that is invaluable to every level of SAP user. Pricing analysis in the sales document is the visual depiction of all that has been achieved through the configuration documented in prior steps. Within section 3.2, the reader sees the finished product where Mr. Liebich has pulled together a summary of the essential ingredients of SAP's pricing procedure; technical enough to help an analyst troubleshoot their work, yet simple enough to facilitate any business user in understanding the pricing schema. The details in this chapter go far beyond the basics as they continue to break down application of the configuration and master data required to Reprice Documents, control Scales, utilize Group Conditions and other topics touched upon in previous chapters. In later chapters, "The Ultimate Guide to SAP Pricing" dives head first into advanced concept including Free of Charge, Sales promotions/Sales deals and Rebates, and finally custom modifications in pricing. While these topics are geared to the more experienced user, the author maintains his earlier strategy of providing the thorough but not overly technical detail so that the reader is able to follow along, and mirror the teachings of the author in their own SAP system. Where other SAP publications have been so lacking in specifics, "The Ultimate Guide to SAP Pricing" gives you step by step, screen shot rich examples that won't leave you wondering what ISN'T being said. I keep asking myself as I read, "where was this book 10 years ago when I needed it so desperately"!!! Regina DeMita Senior SAP SD Consultant Principle, MEG Services, LLC.

A Great Book For Your SAP Library,

This review is from: The Ultimate SAP Pricing Guide: How to Use SAP's Condition Technique in Pricing, Free Goods, Rebates and Much More (Paperback)
I have been a SAP SD consultant for ten years and often find the prospect of communicating the concept of SAP pricing daunting. This book, The Ultimate Pricing Guide, does a fantastic job covering this very broad and complex topic.
This book takes a great approach by starting with the building blocks of pricing; condition types, access sequences, pricing procedures, etc and carries the reader to the complex concepts like creating pricing routines and pricing modifications. The author, Matthias Liebich does a wonderful job of incorporating SAP screen shots so this book can be used as a learning guide or a reference manual to anyone who needs to work with pricing from the novice to a seasoned SAP consultant. I look forward to recommending this book and anticipate going back to it frequently for reference. Tom Woelfel Senior SAP SD Consultant Click Technology Partners [..]

The Ultimate SAP Pricing Guide was long overdue!,
This review is from: The Ultimate SAP Pricing Guide: How to Use SAP's Condition Technique in Pricing, Free Goods, Rebates and Much More (Paperback)
Matthias Liebich exposes a range of flexible pricing possibilities for SAP SD users. In particular, the discussion on custom pricing modifications in Chapter 5 will be very helpful to many projects as they try to get pricing in SAP to work for their own unique situations. Liebich's treatment of the subject is lucid and should be well-received by a wide variety of practitioners. The Ultimate SAP Pricing Guide is an impressive treatment of the subject that has been long overdue!
