A condition type is a representation in the system of some aspect of your daily pricing activities. For example, you can define a different condition type for each kind of price, discount or surcharge that occurs in your business transactions.
Example of a Condition Type
You define the condition type for a special material discount. You specify that the system calculates the discount as an amount (for example, a discount of USD 1 per sales unit). Alternatively, you can specify that the system calculates the discount as a percentage (for example: a 2% discount for orders over 1,000 units). If you want to use both possibilities, you must define two separate condition types. The following figure illustrates how condition types can be used during pricing in a sales document.
Routines are short sub-programs that carry out various checks during document processing. In the SD module, you can create and process routines for copying requirements, data transfer, requirements and formulas using transaction VOFM. Besides the routines delivered to you with the system, you can create your own individual routines.
Transaction VOFM allows you to follow a standardized procedure for creating routines. The name ranges are predefined for routines delivered to you with the system and for routines created by the customer.
A requirement in pricing can determine that an access is dependent on a particular precondition. It can carry out a check of the document currency, for example, and, depending on whether it is a foreign or the local currency, allow or deny the access.
Formulas are used in pricing to define various factors for pricing. Formulas are defined for scale base value, condition base value, condition amount, group key, and rounding rules. The formula for a rounding rule could define, for example, that all calculated amounts are rounded to two places behind the decimal point during a price change of the condition record. The formula for a condition base value could define, that the header discount is distributed among the order items according to volume an not value of the item, as is the case in the standard SAP R/3 System.
