IntegrationDefinition
An access sequence in SAP is a search strategy used to determine the correct pricing, condition types, or data retrieval sequence during business transactions.
Detailed Description
In SAP, an access sequence is a fundamental concept used primarily in the pricing and conditions module. It defines the order in which the system searches through condition records to find the relevant data for a transaction.
