[Former Member]

Hi Guys,

Can you tell some scenario's for customizing condition tpes in the pricing procedure? I have moved to SD with a functional background and I was asked this question in the interview...

They also asked for the user exit that was used in pricing and the business scenario behind it...

Would appreciate your help on this..

Condition Types:

> The condition type determines the category of a condition and how it is used.

> The calculation type and the scale base type can be controlled for each condition type.

For Example: Scale for Condition Type PROO1 pieces 800 uni

10 pieces 750 uni

100 pieces 700 uni

> Possible scale base types Possible calculation types

Value Percentage from an initial value Fixed amount

Quantity Amount per unit of measure

Weight Amount per unit of weight

Volumes Amount per unit of volume

Time period Quantity per unit of time

> Each condition type can be set as an automatic surcharge, discount or either.

> Condition types: A calculation or formula used for a component of pricing.

Header Condition:

> Conditions can also be entered at the document header level. These are known as header conditions and are valid for all items.

> These 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.

> Incase of Condition type RB00, the value is copied to all line items. For Example: Condition Type RB00 is maintained with value $ 50 & there are 4 line items, then all 4 line items each will be populated with the value $ 50.

> Incase of Condition type HB00, the value is distributed to all line items. For Example: Condition Type HB00 is maintained with value $ 50 & there are 4 line items, then the value $ 50 is divided in all 4 line items propotionately.

Condition Types

Use

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.

In the example in the preceding figure, two discounts apply to the item in the sales order. The first discount is a percentage discount based on the quantity ordered. The second discount is a fixed discount based on the total weight of the item.

You determine the calculation type for a condition type in Customizing. This determines how the system calculates prices, discounts and surcharges for a condition. When setting up condition records, you can enter a different calculation type than the one in Customizing. At present all available calculation types are permitted. The field ‘Calculation type’ can however not be accessed if this field is left empty. After the data release has been printed, if the field has not been completed manually, the proposal is automatically taken from Customizing. After this it is no longer possible to make manual changes.

If you use different calculation types for what are otherwise the same conditions (for example, percentage, as a fixed amount or quantity-dependent), you do not have to define different condition types in Customizing. You can set a different calculation type when maintaining the individual condition records.

Condition Types in the Standard R/3 System

The standard system includes, among many others, the following predefined condition types:

Creating and Maintaining Condition Types

You can change and maintain condition types provided in the standard version of the SAP R/3 System or you can create new condition types to suit the needs of your own organization. You create and maintain condition types in Customizing.

To reach the condition type screen from the initial Customizing screen for Sales and Distribution:

Basic Functions ® Pricing ® Pricing Control ® Define condition types.

A dialog-box appears, listing the transaction options. Select the corresponding transaction for defining the condition types.

In the Conditions: Condition Types view, you can change existing condition types or create new ones.
