The behavior described is controlled by the Condition Class. In SAP S/4HANA Sales, condition types are categorized by a condition class, which determines how the system processes them within the pricing procedure. The condition types listed (PR00, PR02, PN00, HM00) are all standard examples of prices, which are assigned to Condition Class 'B'. A fundamental rule for this class is that only one price condition can be active for a document item. When the system processes the pricing procedure and finds the first valid, non-statistical condition of class 'B', it deactivates any subsequent conditions of the same class, thus ensuring only one price is taken into account.

A. Condition function: This setting is used to activate a special formula for calculating a condition value, not for controlling the exclusivity of conditions.

B. Exclusion indicator: While condition exclusion can be used to select the best price among several, the fundamental reason these conditions are treated as a group from which only one can be active is their shared Condition Class 'B'.

D. Header condition: This setting determines whether a condition is entered at the document header level (and distributed to items) or at the item level. It does not influence the exclusion of other conditions.

Document: Condition Types in Sales and Distribution (SD)

SAP S/4HANA.

Section: Control Data in the Condition Type

Content Reference: The documentation specifies that the 'Condition class' (e.g.

B for Prices) controls the system's behavior during pricing. For class 'B'

it is standard behavior that only one condition is active per item. If multiple price conditions are found

the system deactivates the subsequent ones. This is detailed in the description of the KNTYP field.

2. SAP Learning Hub Courseware:

Course: S4600 - Business Processes in SAP S/4HANA Sales

Unit: Pricing in Sales

Content Reference: The course materials explain the key fields in the definition of a condition type. It explicitly states that the Condition Class 'B' is for prices and that the system is designed to only allow one active price condition in the pricing procedure for an item.

Document: Pricing and Conditions (SD-BF-PR)

Section: Condition Technique

Content Reference: This section details the components of the condition technique. The description of the condition type and its attributes confirms that the condition class is the primary field that groups conditions (prices

discounts

surcharges) and governs the system's high-level processing logic for them.
