Can anybody please guide about the exact use of condition category in the pricing condition type. In text it is mentioned that it is used for grouping of similar condition types but what exactly is the requriement for this? Does it have any control function like the feild condition class has( like for example grouping in this is used in redeterminations etc) ?

Please guide about the use of this feild and if maintained or not maintained then how will it matter?

Hi,

An example of what this field does: The condition category field is key in influencing what condition types gets redtermined or copied when you create sales orders or invoices. Pricing rules are defined in the system for copy control which will either copy pricing unchanged or redetermine the condition types with a certain value of Condition category.For exact details on how this works or how to enhance these capabilities please review OSS note 24832.

Hi,

It serves some purposes.

1. It is used for the classification of condition types. During implementations, consultants classify the condition types into condition categories (Prices, Discounts, Taxes) and later use these categories to print the value of condition types in the forms. Coding based on condition categories reduces the effort instead of hardcoding on the condition type.

2. They also have some inbuilt property for some of the condition types like VPRS, SKTO etc where the categories are important for the behaviour the condition type, the way they are expected to behave.

3. Some of the condition categories will be applicable only for some specific processes and not for all the processes. for example e during downpayment.

But the complete function of this field can be only learned over a period of time when we implement new functionalities for the business.
