Dear Rack29,

Alternative formula for condition base value

Formula for determining the condition basis as an alternative to the standard.

Example

An absolute header discount is, for example, distributed in the standard system according to the cumulative value of the items.

If the system distributes the absolute header discount according to volume based on the Alternative formula for condition base value , a header discount of $30 results in the following discounts:

Item Value Volume .

1 $1000 2 cbm

2 $500 4 cbm

Stand. disc. Volume disc.(With Formula)

$20 $10

$10 $20

Condition formula for alternative calculation type

Alternative formula to the formula in the standard system that determines a condition.

I hope it will help you,

Regards,

Murali.

Hi,

Here r d answers to your 2 queries:

Alternate base value: As the name itself suggests, It basically defines which value needs to be used as the base value for calculation other than the base value as per the condition records.

The following example shud b abl 2 clarify everything : Suppose u have a condition type ZA01, with a condition record maintained (master data) for $100. In addition to this, d condition type ZA02 also exists lower in the schema, but with a rate of 10%. The standard calculation would result in a final value of $110. But the alternate base value could say, "don't use $100 as the basis -- use the original price PR00 only, which was $90." Then, the final value would be $100 + (10% of $90) = $109. Here it'll not use ZA01's 100 thus will not give d value $100 + (10% of $100) = $110

Alternate Calculation Type: As Alternate base value is used as the calculation basis only, the alternate calculation is used to modify the final value. The alternate calculation type says, "ignore the 10% altogether. Instead, use an externally calculation type 20%." Thus, you will have d final value of $100 + (20% of $100) = $120.

In case both Alternate Base Value n Alternate Calculation type are used then d final value would be $100 + (20% of $90) = $118.

Hope I have been able to clear your doubts to some extent.

Regards
