What must be ensured for a condition type to be available in a sales order?

For a condition type to be available in a sales order, it is essential that it exists in the pricing procedure. The pricing procedure defines the sequence in which different condition types are evaluated and applied during the calculation of prices, discounts, and surcharges in sales documents.

When a sales order is processed, the system refers to the assigned pricing procedure to determine which condition types are applicable. If a condition type is not included in the pricing procedure, it will not be processed or considered for that specific sales order, regardless of other attributes it may have. Therefore, confirming the inclusion of the condition type in the pricing procedure is a fundamental step for its availability in sales order processing.

Other factors such as whether it must be a manual entry condition, linked to a specific sales area, or whether it has scale limits, do not directly determine its availability in the pricing procedure. What truly matters is that the condition type is defined in that procedure to ensure it is utilized during sales order pricing.
