sample example to cover below functionality in -Pricing

[Former Member]

gurus

I am really struggling to understand the concept of below pricing elements in real time world.

Any expert who really worked on these below pricing elements can give me the good examples, where it will be used and for what reason we need to use routines with exaples, (genioun examples)

REQUIREMETN KEY

ALTERNATE CALCULATION TYPE

ALTERNATE CONDITION BASE VALUE

Please only who worked really can give me the solution, I spend a lot lot of time on these and contaced pricing masters but non off them are able to educate me with good examples.

Please any body want me to send personally I really aprreciate and you can send me your personal details . I will contact you directly.

This is very urgent and Need full.

Hi,

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

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.

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

Hi Kris..

<b>Requirement</b> - Its a precondition for the activation of a condition type. Ex:- Base price PR00 is only relevant when the items are relevant for pricing. If items are free goods, then we dont need PR00 right.

Please remember a formula before we take Alternate calculation type and Alternate condition base value.

<b>Condition value = Rate * condition base value</b>

<b>Alternate calculation type</b>.

Using Alternate calculation, you can set the formula to control the condition value. Ex:- In one of the requirement, we were supposed to round-up condition value ( 54.46 as 55). This is not supported in standard SAP. So, we developed a pricing routine to address this. Any thing to affect the condition value, then we need to write the routine at alternate calculation type level.

<b>Alternate condition base value</b>.

Now, if you refer the above formula, instead of the normal condition base value, you can propose a alternate condition base value.

Ex:- Tax need to be calculated only on 1/2 of the net value.

1/2 of the net value is the alternate condition base value in this case.

Hope this helps,
