How can you enforce automatic new price determination during the billing document creation process?

To enforce automatic new price determination during the billing document creation process, selecting a relevant pricing type in copying control at the item level is essential. This action ensures that the system references the correct pricing condition records based on the sale's particulars when a billing document is generated.

The copying control determines how data is transferred between different document types in SAP, and it includes specific configurations for pricing. By specifying a pricing type that activates condition determination in the billing process, SAP can automatically recalculate the price based on the most recent pricing strategies or conditions set for the sales order or environment. This flexibility allows for efficient price modifications to reflect market changes, discounts, or promotions that may apply at the time of billing, ensuring that the invoicing reflects current pricing policies.

Other options such as changing the billing document date, using a different billing type, or updating customer master data might influence price determination indirectly by affecting the underlying conditions but do not directly enforce automatic price determination. Adjusting these would not inherently provide the mechanism to retrieve and apply new pricing unless the appropriate copying control settings are in place.
