Hi sap gurus

Could u plz tell clearly with an example regarding Alt calc type, and alt cond base value.

hi,

1)AltCtype:-

It is a formula or routine which is useful in calculating the final condition value.

For example:-

In pricing procedure for profit margin we assign AltCtype =11i.e (Netvalue-cost)

2)AltBasevalue:-

It is the formula or routine which gives a base on which the calculation of condition value has to be carried out.

Give me points if it solves your problem

Hi Sabina,

1. For every condition type there will be a std calculation procedure, if you take Ex Gross value in the pricing procedure,

In the Alt calc type column we nedd to mention the Routine which is containing the formula to caculate the Gross Value.i.e what are all we need to consider while calculating gross value.

2. Header discount is example for alt cond base value, Header discount is distributed in the standard system according to the cumulative value of the items.

Based on the alt cond base value the header discount distributed according to volume, a header discount of Rs 30 results in the following discounts:

Item Value Volume Discount

Stand. disc. Volume disc.

1 Rs1000 2 cbm Rs20 Rs10

2 Rs500 4 cbm Rs10 Rs20

I hope it will make clear to you,rewards points if usefull

ALT CALC TYPE: itselft is a self explanatory alternative calculation type when there is a need that our standard calculaton is not supported (step and counter) we use this, in this a routine has to be written with the help of abaper based on our requirement.

eg: suppose if the requirement like this, our client wants to give some dicount price on goods for first 1000 items to every customer in standard there is no functionality support us, so there is a need of routine in that this scenario we use ALT CALC TYPE to over the problem.

ALT cond base value: is used to calculate conditonn base value when in standard not supports just like ALT CALC TYPE

Hi

The alternate base value is used as the calculation basis only, while the alternate calculation is used to modify the final value.

*For example *

imagine you have a condition type ZZ01, with a condition record maintained (master data) for $100. Now, condition ZZ02 also exists lower in the schema, but with a rate of 10%. The standard calculation would result in a final value of $110.

The alternate base value could say, "don't use $100 as the basis -- use the original price PR00 only, which was $90." Then, the final value would be $100 + (10% of $90) = $109.

The alternate calculation routine says, "ignore the 10% altogether. Instead, use an externally calculated 20%." Then, you end up with a final value of $100 + (20% of $100) = $120.

Put them both together, and you could end up with $100 + (20% of $90) = $118.

Now once again,

Alternative Calculation Type

Normally 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.

Here what happens is suppose if you define Your condition type that calculates the base price of a material on Qty based. Then the calculation will be done based on the quantity of the material. If the customer orders 10 Nos and you have maintained a unit price of 100 Rs for each material then the value determined is 1000 INR. Similarly if the discount condition type , you maintain the calculation type as %. This means if you maintain the value of 10 % in the condition record. Then this percentage is taken as the calculation type and the condition value is determined.

In some cases you have to forego the default calculation types and use the customer specific method for calculating a value. For ex if you are calculating the Freight charges for a Material . it depends on so many criteria like, the weight, volume and also the minimum amount etc etc, in those cases, you forego the default value and then use the alternative calculation type in calculating the condition value against the particular condition.

Alternative Condition Base value

If you have to calculate any value then you have to have a base value for it. For ex if you want to calculate the discount of 10 % for a material then you have to have a base value on which this 10% is calculated. Normally you take the condition value of the base price of the material to calculate the value.

Now you don't want to take the base value and take other values as base value which are derived on some formulae. So you create a routine which will do the mathematical operations in the routine and derive you a value which is now used as the base value for calculating the condition value for a particular condition type.

Hi,

Alt calc type:Alternative formula to the formula in the standard system that determines a condition.

Alternative formula for condition base value

Formula for determining the condition basis as an alternative to the standard.

Example

An absolute header discount is, for example, distributed in the standard system according to the cumulative value of the items.

If the system, however, distributes the absolute header discount according to volume, a header discount of $30 results in the following discounts:

Item Value Volume Discount

Stand. disc. Volume disc.

1 $1000 2 cbm $20 $10

2 $500 4 cbm $10 $20

Siddharth.
