i would like to know the importance of alternate condition base value?

hi,

Alternative Condition Base value :

If you have to calculate any value then you have to have a base value for it. For ex if you want to calculate the discount of 10 % for a material then you have to have a base value on which this 10% is calculated. Normally you take the condition value of the base price of the material to calculate the value.

Now you don't want to take the base value and take other values as base value which are derived on some formulae. So you create a routine which will do the mathematical operations in the routine and derive you a value which is now used as the base value for calculating the condition value for a particular condition type

pls reward points if the answer is helpful

dear venkat,

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.

Alternative formula for condition base value:

Instead of using from column as a basis to calculate further value for particular condition type. We can use a formula in the form of routine to use base. Ex: routine no: 12 or 13 (gross weight or net weight) can be used with the condition type “KF00” to calculate freight charges. As for freight charges always weight of the material taken as a base

Hi,

The alternative condition base value is a formula assigned to a condition type in order to promote an alternative base value for the calculation of a value in the sales order.

You can refer to the elements of pricing procedure in teh following links

Rwd if this helps.

Hi venket,

in the pricing procedure if you want to calculate discount, it will calculate on e.g.

10% Base value.

But in case of alternative condition base value the base will be a formula (not condition type) with the help of routines.

In the Tax case

Sales tax needs to be calculated on a base different from the base price for excise.

Formula 762 and 763 you can check this into VOFM

Because Excise will calculate on base price/assessable value where as tax will calculate on (Sales Amount-discount) %.

I think this will clear your doubt.

Hi Venkat,

Alternative formula for condition base value

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

Example

An absolute header discount is, for example, distributed in the standard system according to the cumulative value of the items.

If the system, however, distributes the absolute header discount according to volume, a header discount of $30 results in the following discounts:

Item Value Volume Discount

Stand. disc. Volume disc.

1 $1000 2 cbm $20 $10

2 $500 4 cbm $10 $20

Hi

Now you don't want to take the base value and take other values as base value which are derived on some formulae. So you create a routine which will do the mathematical operations in the routine and derive you a value which is now used as the base value for calculating the condition value for a particular condition type.

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.

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.

Hi,

Alternative Cond Base Value: Alternative formula for determining the cond basis (amt to which the discount or surcharge in a scale refers)
