You already have a condition record for a material price that is valid for the whole year. In addition to this standard price, you now have to set up a special sales price for this material that is…

Question

Options

• AUse the Manage Prices - Sales app.
• BUse the Create condition with template transaction (transaction code VK14).
• CUse the Creation of Price Lists app.
• DUse the Change condition transaction (transaction code VK12).

• A
  71% (34)
• B
  10% (5)
• C
  19% (9)

Explanation

Both A (Manage Prices - Sales app) and D (VK12 – Change condition) are correct because they allow you to maintain condition records with overlapping validity periods for the same material. In SAP, you can have multiple entries for the same condition type and key - one covering the full year and a second covering only the two-week special price window. The system automatically applies whichever record is valid on the current date, so after the two weeks expire, the standard price resumes without any manual intervention.

Why B is wrong: VK14 creates a new condition record by copying from an existing template - it's a mass-creation/copy tool, not designed for managing overlapping validity periods on the same material.

Why C is wrong: The "Creation of Price Lists" app is for generating mass pricing lists across multiple materials or customers - it's not the right tool for precisely controlling a single material's special price window.

Memory tip: Think "M-C" = Maintain & Change. When you need to maintain a special temporary price, use the Manage Prices app (A) or Change the existing condition via VK12 (D). VK14 is for 4ward-copying (templates), not for time-bounded overrides.
