To ensure a condition type can only be entered manually, what must be indicated in the pricing procedure?

To ensure that a condition type can only be entered manually in the pricing procedure, the manual indicator must be set. This indicator is specifically designed to restrict the condition type from being automatically determined by the system during pricing. When this indicator is activated, the condition type will require user intervention for entry, thereby ensuring that prices or discounts associated with that condition type cannot be automatically calculated.

The manual indicator plays a critical role in scenarios where price control is important, such as in negotiations or special promotions where sales representatives need to enter specific values based on discussions with customers or market conditions. By having this control in place within the pricing procedure, organizations can maintain greater oversight and flexibility in their pricing strategies.

The other options, while relevant in different contexts, do not specifically address the requirement of limiting user input to manual entries for a condition type. For instance, the free item indicator may allow for items to be given away without charge, while access control measures pertain to the permissions around who can view or modify certain data, not the manual input of condition types. Deliver document entry relates to the logistics side of data entry, rather than specifically managing price condition entries in the sales area.
