What is the use of condition type in pricing procedure determination

[Former Member]

HI

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.

E.G.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.

Hi

Manual:

This indicator specifies whether the specific condition type can be determined manually during sales order processing.

If we check the box then the entry is going to be manual, if we uncheck it, it is going to be automatic.

For Base Price and Taxes, the entry should be automatic.

For Discounts and Freights, The entry should be manual.

If we check the box, in VA01 when we go to conditions at the header/item level, the condition type will not be listed. If we require we will have to manually enter it.

If we uncheck the box, in VA01 when we go to conditions at the header/item level, the condition type will be listed.

Mandatory:

This indicator specifies that particular condition type is mandatory in the pricing procedure.

If we check the box, then in VA01 at the header/item level in the conditions tab, if we delete the value in the condition type and try to save the document then system will not allow us to do it and throws an error.

If we uncheck the box, then in VA01 at the header/item level in the conditions tab, if we delete the value in the condition type and try to save the document then system will allow us to save it, without giving any error.

Mandatory check box should be checked in condition types which are compulsorily required in pricing procedure. Ex.: PR00, MWST.

If the condition type is checked with mandatory option, then value should be maintained for that condition type, otherwise the system will not allow the user to process the document.

Reward if it helps
