hi

AltCty - 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.

hi,

Alternative calculation type - is to use the formula represented in this column as an alternative in finding the value of the condition type, rather than by using the standard condition technique. This can be used to calculate complex tax scenarios.

Ex: This field is used in obtaining values such as “Net Price (2)”, ‘Profit Margin (11)’ – where there wouldn’t be any access sequence to get the required value. Instead the system calculates net value using the existing amounts and the alternative calculation types. (Formula: profit margin = net value – cost price)
