hi

if we activate condition index, then all the condition records for this condition type

wil be indexed irrespective of the data

ex: koo7, proo

if we mark this, then maintain diff condition records for the same condition type

with diff criteria like for cust 2, 3 or 4 .........in vk11

and if u go to vk12, there is an option called select using condition index,

there u can see what r all the conditions maintain for a particular customer.

jus try it.

cheers

You can create and use condition indices. You can use these indices to display, change and create condition records with reference. This transaction can include condition records with several condition types and tables. For example, you can use a condition index if you want to see all condition records that apply to a particular product regardless of whether the records are prices or discounts. In this case, you can use one of the standard condition indexes. Or you may want to see a list of condition records that contain a particular sales deal and a material from a user-specified list of products. To display this information, you can create your own condition index.

Creating a condition index is similar to creating a condition table. In Customizing for Sales, you select the combination of fields that you want in the index key. The system automatically proposes a list of permitted fields to choose from. The fields you specify for the key can have a maximum combined length of 100 characters.

The activation function displays a list of all available condition indexes and indicates which are active. The system can use a condition index only when it is activated. Before you can use the indexes that are delivered in the standard version, you must first activate them in Customizing for Sales. Some indices are activated automatically during generation. In addition, you must specify one of the following index updating requirements for each condition index:

Requirement 1: The index is updated when the user provides data for all fields in the index

Requirement 2: The index is updated when the user provides data for at least the first index field
