Condition Type Definition / Calculation Type "R" Purpose

[Former Member]

Hi,

Can anyone explain what is the purpose of the value "R Distance-dependent" in define condition type screen.

I know that we use this field to control whether the condition is a percentage or fixed value. but what is the purpose of "R" in it.

Any useful thoughts will be appreciated.

Regards,

Robert.

Robert,

This is a function of transportation management. It is used to determine freight cost that is influenced by distance of shipment and can be used in conjunction with the scale basis type of R(distance) as well. There is some info that refers to this functionality in this doc http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/Print46c/EN/data/pdf/LETRA/SDTRA.pdf. Hope this helps.
