Hi,

<b>Condition exclusion:</b>

When we have many condition types for ex of discount then all the time we may not want to pass away all the discounts to the customer. So we go for condition exclusion in which one or more conditions can be excluded from the pricing.

We create exclusion groups so that similar condition types can be listed in one group.

1. OV31 - create condition exclusion group.

2. OV32 - assign condition types to condition exclusion group

3. VOK8 - Assign the condition exclusion groups to the required pricing procedure.

In VOK8 -

Cond. Excl Proc. Description

A Best condition between condition types

B Best condition within the condition type

C Best condition between the two exclusion groups

D Exclusive

E Least favorable within the condition type

F Least favorable betweent the two exclusion groups

L Least favorable between conditions types

These are the various criterias according to which we can carry out the condition exclusion.

Reward points if solution helps.

Hi Aditya,

Take an example you have 5 discount types. customer, material, cust/material, pricegroup, customer group. If you create one exclusion group and assign these condition types, that means out of these 5 system will pick only one either best or least condition. Now if you would like to pick up one best record and one least record, then we need to create two exclusion groups and assign condition types to these exclusion groups. System will compare the values within these exclusion groups and will pick the condition record/s accordingly.

Hope this will help you

in each of these exclusion groups there can be conditions out of which you want to pick the most relevant one. Incase of discount its highest discount or incase of price the lowest one.

Basically the idea is to provide the customer with most favourable offer.

thanks

hi,

the condition exclusion groups are basically used for to determine and findout the best condition out of all for the customer.

example. if there is a discount type like material discount - K004, Customer/ material discount - K005, and the customer Discount - K007.

Out of these three discount types the customer should get only one of these. How? that is why we are customizing condition exclusion groups.

the steps are..

1. define the condition exclusion groups.

2. assign the condition type to exclusion groups.

3. maintain these exclusion groups for your pricing procedure.

reward points if it is useful.

Hi Aditya,

In pricing, more than one condition record may apply to a particular item at any one time. condition exclusion process is used to compare possible conditions in order to determine the best price for a customer.

First of all, exclusion groups needs to be created. An exclusion group is a list of condition types that is identified by a three-digit number. Exclusion groups are defined in Customizing for Sales. You also assign exclusion groups to a pricing procedure and to determine how the condition exclusion is to be carried out.

Next, the exclusion group is assigned to a pricing procedure, thus defining the condition exclusion.

Depending on how you configure exclusion groups in the pricing procedure, the system can use condition exclusion to select the best price or discount in six different ways:

1. Selecting the best condition record of a particular condition type from within one exclusion group

2. Selecting the most unsuitable condition from within one exclusion group

3. Selecting the best condition record for a condition type

4. Selecting the most unsuitable condition record for a condition type

5. Selecting the best conditions from different exclusion groups

6. Excluding all condition types in the second exclusion group if a particular condition type in the first exclusion group exists in the document

During automatic pricing for a sales order item, the system may find a number of valid condition records that apply to the same item. If the competing condition records belong to a variety of condition types, the system selects the record with the best price and excludes the other condition records.

Steps:

1. Define Exclusion group say "A001" for Discount exclusion.

2. Assign condition types to exclusion group. [A001 to ZDG4].

3. Assign condiion Exclusion group to Pricing procedure [A001 to ZGSSTE.

Here select your condition exlusion procedure [A-F] like

A- Best Condition between condition types,

B -Best condition within the condition type, etc

Condition Exclusion For Groups Of Conditions

If several condition records are valid for pricing in a document item, you can define rules that specify which condition records are not included. You use condition exclusion for this purpose.

You control condition record exclusion using exclusion groups. An exclusion group is a list of condition types which are compared with each other during pricing and result in the exclusion of an entire group or individual condition types within a group.

Thus, the result of pricing can be influenced with regard to a required criterion (for example, best price) by excluding certain condition types while others are taken into account during pricing.

Example

You can define a condition exclusion which determines the best price for the customer and excludes other less favorable results of pricing. The best price then reverses the priority of condition types which would have been predefined by the access sequence.

The procedure according to which the selection is carried out within or between the condition exclusion groups is defined in the pricing procedure. The following options are possible:

Selection of the most (least) favorable condition type within a condition exclusion group

Selection of the most (least) favorable condition record of a condition type, if more valid condition records exist (for example, selection from different condition records of the condition type PR00)

Selection of the most (least) favorable of two condition exclusion groups (in this case, all condition types of the two groups are cumulated and the totals are compared)

Exclusion procedure: If a condition type in the first group exists in the document, all condition types in the second group are set to inactive.

The tables for condition exclusion are empty when delivered. You therefore have to carry out the following steps if you want to use condition exclusion:

OV31 --- Define condition exclusion groups

OV32 --- Assign Condtion types to exclusion groups.

VOK8 --- Maintain conditoin exclusion groups for pricing procedure.

At T.Code VOK8 you can have therse options configured.

A Best condition between condition types

B Best condition within the condition type

C Best condition between the two exclusion groups

D Exclusive

E Least favorable within the condition type

F Least favorable betweent the two exclusion groups
