Hi Guru,

Can anyone tell me what is the AltCty and AltCBV ?

Thanks

<b>AltCTy & AltCBV </b>

<b>AltCty</b> – 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.

<b>AltCBV</b> - 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.

Header conditions are automatically distributed among the items based on net value. The basis for distributing the header conditions can be changed in the pricing procedure by selecting the appropriate routine (e.g. weight, volumes) in the AltCBV (alternative formula for condition base value) field.

& for AltCty ,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.

crux is :- you are just overriding an existing Condition Type.

Hi Biswamohan,

<b>Alternative Calculation Type</b>

Specifies that the system is to use the 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 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.

Hope it helped you.
