alt cal type

hi sd gurus,

cud some body give gud explmles For using ALL CAL type in the Pricing procedure.I know its useful for complex Tax senarios etc.and used for as an alternative to strd caliculation,but if u cud explain in detail,it wud be nice...

thanks

regards

Alternative formula for condition type:

We can specify the alternative formula instead of standard one as a condition type in the form of routines Ex: routine no: 11 -- profit margin can be used as an alternative formula for condition type to calculate profit margin. As there is no standard condition type to calculate profit margin

rewards if it is useful

hi,

AltCty – Condition formula for alternative calculation type:

It is again a Routine that is written by ABAP Consultant.

It is an alternative formula for the condition type that can be used instead of standard formulas.

For example, let us take the Profit Margin which can be both + / - , so here this routine will help us in generating the value which can be either + or -. Profit margin is not a condition type so it cannot be classified as +ve or –ve in the V/06.

Ex.: 950 0 Profit Margin 11.

So we assign 11 – Profit Margin.

If new routines are to be defined we follow the procedure given below.

Go to T.Code: VOFM. – Maintain Requirements & Formulas

Click on the “Formulas” and then on the “Condition Values”.

We have a list of routines, we can ask ABAP consultant to create new routines based on the client requests.

And we assign the application type.

Pls reward points if the answer is helpful

Hi dear,

find the following examples in pricing procedure

Requirement- 2 for PR00, K004, K005, K007

A condition type is determined in pri.pro if & only if the routine specified in the Req. is satisfied.

EX---Req 2- the corresponding item category TAN - 'pricing relevance' feild has either X or B

Req 55- the corresponding item category TANN- 'pricing relevance' feild has B

Req 24- for Rebate cond.types- then they should only accessed in Billing docs

Subtotal

Whether in which table the corresponding condition values are stored

EX---A-for Total- link between pricing procedure and credit management, table-KOMP-CMPRE

B-for VPRS-cost

7-for Rebates, table- KOMP-BONBA

AltCty-

specifies alternative formula to the standard one for the determination of the condition value of a condition type

EX- profit11--> profit=net value-cost

AltCBv-

instead of using the base value from the column to calculate further value for a particular condition type, we can use a formula in the form of a routine to use base

EX- frieght- KF00--to take base as "weight"- we use- routiene-12 or 13 gross/net

Tax- MWST--- formula -16- net value-cash discount = X (some base value)

100% discount-- R100- 28- then it will take base value as '00' -zero.

All the best

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.

What is "alt cal type" & "alt base value" & "Requirement field" in the Pricing Procedure

Can any one explain exactly what is "alt cal type" & "alt base value" and also " Requirement field" in the pricing procedure?

The alternate base value is used as the calculation basis only, while the alternate calculation is used to modify the final value.

For example, imagine you have a condition type ZZ01, with a condition record maintained (master data) for $100. Now, condition ZZ02 also exists lower in the schema, but with a rate of 10%. The standard calculation would result in a final value of $110.

The alternate base value could say, "don't use $100 as the basis -- use the original price PR00 only, which was $90." Then, the final value would be $100 + (10% of $90) = $109.

The alternate calculation routine says, "ignore the 10% altogether. Instead, use an externally calculated 20%." Then, you end up with a final value of $100 + (20% of $100) = $120.

Put them both together, and you could end up with $100 + (20% of $90) = $118.
