• Key Concepts: 
  Scale value is a feature in SAP Sales and Distribution (SD) that allows users to assign a numerical value to a certain characteristic of a product or service. This numerical value can then be used to calculate the price of the product or service. For example, if a product has a scale value of 10, then the price of the product would be 10 times the base price. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use scale values, users must first define the characteristics of their products or services that they want to assign numerical values to. Once these characteristics have been defined, users can then assign numerical values to them. These numerical values can then be used to calculate the price of the product or service. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When assigning numerical values to characteristics, it is important to make sure that they are consistent across all products and services. This will ensure that the prices are calculated accurately and consistently. Additionally, it is important to keep track of any changes made to the scale values as this could affect the pricing of products and services. 
  
  Related Information: 
  Scale values are closely related to pricing conditions in SAP SD. Pricing conditions are used to define how prices are calculated for products and services based on certain criteria such as quantity, discounts, etc. Scale values can be used in conjunction with pricing conditions in order to calculate more complex prices for products and services.
