Hi Srinivas,

<b>Alternative Calculation Type</b>

Specifies that the system is to use a formula represented in the column as an alternative in finding the value of the condition type, rather than using the standard condition technique. Used in complex tax scenarios.

<b>Alternative Condition Base Value</b>

It is a formula assigned to a condition type in order to use an alternative base value for the calculation of a condition type value. Incase you want to find out the percentage of discount to be based on a different value not availalbe in the pricing procedure you can use this field.

hi,

alternative calculation type helps calculating a condition value using a different formula/method than provided in the calculation type field of the condition type. Like we have a " Z " condition which takes the condition value of one another condition type and multiplies it with a multiplication factor maintained in a custom table.

the resultant value is the determined value for this condition type with the specified alternative calculation type.

And alt. condition base value for example free goods condition R100 uses 28. This gives 100 % disc to the item being sold as free. Otherwise to say, a value is taken as reference to start with and its modified a little. The resultant value is now taken up as the base for calculating this condition type.

Thanks

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.

AltCBV - Alternative formula for condition base value:

Formula for determining the condition basis as an alternative to the standard.

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

It is used as a basis to calculate value of the condition type instead of using it from the “FROM” column.

Ex.: Freight – KF00.

Freight is calculated based on weight, volume etc. and not on the base price. In pricing there is no entry of weight from which the value can be referred like we do for discounts using base price. We have to get the value from the Material master.

In this column we can mention the value as 12 – Gross Weight or 13 – Net Weight.

During pricing, the system will consider the value that is mentioned in this column and determine the freight based on this value.

Suppose we have Net weight: 100 kgs and Gross Weight: 150 Kgs. And if we mention 13 in this column then the Freight condition KF00 will be calculated using the weight as 100 kgs.
