to different types of customers.
Create customer master records using transaction code XD01 (for creating
individual customer) or XD02 (for changing existing customer master records).
Enter relevant details such as customer name, address, contact information,
payment terms, etc.
Save the customer master record.
Material Master Data:

Material master data contains information about the products or materials


that your company sells or distributes.
It includes details such as material description, unit of measure, pricing

sales transactions.
Condition records are used to maintain pricing conditions, including prices,
discounts, surcharges, etc., for different combinations of materials, customers,
and sales organizations.
Here are the steps to maintain pricing conditions and condition records:
Navigate to the SAP IMG menu path: SPRO > Sales and Distribution > Basic

organization combination, pricing details, validity period, etc.
