1. what is the use of "Requirement" column, "Alternative Condition Value Base" in Pricing Procedure ( T.code V/08)

2. how to use or steps to configure " Alternative Calculation Type " in V/08

Hi

It is all ABAP routines which comes with std SAP which you have to use it case to case basis and if need be you need to develop with your abapers depending on your business scenario

Alternative Calculation Type:

Normally if you want to calculate a value you have to use a calculation type for determinating the value. This calculation type is either addition, subtraction or multiplication. Similarly SAP also has got a default calculation type in the control data of the condition type. There you have the options of either Qty based , Fixed Amount Based or Percentage based.

Here what happens is suppose if you define Your condition type that calculates the base price of a material on Qty based. Then the calculation will be done based on the quantity of the material. If the customer orders 10 Nos and you have maintained a unit price of 100 Rs for each material then the value determined is 1000 INR. Similarly if the discount condition type , you maintain the calculation type as %. This means if you maintain the value of 10 % in the condition record. Then this percentage is taken as the calculation type and the condition value is determined.

In some cases you have to forego the default calculation types and use the customer specific method for calculating a value. For ex if you are calculating the Freight charges for a Material . it depends on so many criteria like, the weight, volume and also the minimum amount etc etc, in those cases, you forego the default value and then use the alternative calculation type in calculating the condition value against the particular condition.

Alternative Condition Base value :

If you have to calculate any value then you have to have a base value for it. For ex if you want to calculate the discount of 10 % for a material then you have to have a base value on which this 10% is calculated. Normally you take the condition value of the base price of the material to calculate the value.

Now you don't want to take the base value and take other values as base value which are derived on some formulae. So you create a routine which will do the mathematical operations in the routine and derive you a value which is now used as the base value for calculating the condition value for a particular condition type.

Requirement:

A factor in the condition technique that restricts access to a condition table. The system only accesses a condition table to determine the price if the requirement specified has been met.

Example:

The system uses an access sequence to determine the price of a material. One of the accesses in the sequence contains the requirement "in foreign currency." The system only uses the table behind this access if the sales order for which the price must be calculated is in a foreign currency.

1) Requirements are used to validate certain data before the condition type is triggered. If the validation check is successful then only the condition type will be triggered. For eg: if you requirement 10 is maintained for a condition type, then this condition type will not be seen (even though there is a valid condition record) in the pricing conditions until the plant is entered in the sale order item. The requirement is validating whether plant is entered.

2) The condition type rate is calculated on a certain condition base value determined from the from to fields in the pricing procedure. But you want it to be calculated on a different base value then you need to use alternate conditon base value. For eg: If 12 is maintained then the calculation will take place on the gross weight of the line item.

3) Normally the condition amount for a condition type is rate X condition base value. But you want a different kind of calculation then alternative calculation type can be used. For eg: If 4 is maintained then the condition amount will be net value plus tax in the document. You need not maintain any from to or condition records for this condition type, still the condition amount will be determined because of alternative calculation type.
