Scale basis in condition type?

[Former Member]

Hi

I want to know the exact functionality of Scale basis in a condition type.

Basically what does scale basis, scale formulae, check value ,scale type etc mean?

Explanation with an example would be highly appreciated.

Also we do maintain scale basis at condition record level, then whats the difference between the two?

Thanks

hai,

scale are actually meant to give a chance to customer to earn higher discount

subject to higher ordering of the quantity, ir is a very common scenario that we find in our dialy lives, ex: buy 2 shirts get 2 % discount, 3 get 5 % dis..etc

scale basis is whether u want to give discount on the basis of quantity or value etc

scales can be maintained at any level that is at condition record, type level ,

simple logic is whenever u ahave a possibility of giving more discount apart from a absoulte amount for all customers ,scale basis is applicable.

thank you

Hi ! Christino,

Q) functionality of Scale basis in a condition type?

A) The entry made here decides whether the condition value calculated is on the base of per quantity(say per pc or per no.) or per weight(say per Kg or per pound) or per volume(say per litre or per ml or per cm^3)

Q) What does scale formulae, check value ,scale type etc mean?

A) Scale Formulae - is a setting(ABAP/4 code you write) to make condition value to be calculated any other than those mentioned in the above answer.

->Check value field once set helps in deciding whether the scales you mentions have to be in a ascending or descending in scales rate

(ex.for Material A 1pc to 50pc price is $100

51pc to 200pc price is $99

201pc to 500pc price is $98, is an example of ascending scale rate. descending is opposite)

-> Scale type is setting the validity of the scale (say the scale rate starts from a particular point of quantity or value)

Q)Also we do maintain scale basis at condition record level, then whats the difference between the two?

A) at the condition record level it just a reflection of what scale basis you have set in customizing of Condition type.

Hope this helps. Do provide your feedback.
