hi,

condition index : You can create and use condition indices. You can use these indices to display, change and create condition records with reference. This transaction can include condition records with several condition types and tables. For example, you can use a condition index if you want to see all condition records that apply to a particular product regardless of whether the records are prices or discounts. In this case, you can use one of the standard condition indexes. Or you may want to see a list of condition records that contain a particular sales deal and a material from a user-specified list of products. To display this information, you can create your own condition index.

You can specify for each condition type whether or not the system updates the condition indexes when you post condition records. In cases where updating condition indexes may not be necessary - for example, with freight- and tax-related condition records - you can leave the condition index indicator blank.

Pricing date in the condition type is an identification

code to which a condition of that particular pricing

element is to be calculated in the sales document.

1) Condition Index

You can create and use condition indices. You can use these indices to display, change and create condition records with reference. This transaction can include condition records with several condition types and tables. For example, you can use a condition index if you want to see all condition records that apply to a particular product regardless of whether the records are prices or discounts. In this case, you can use one of the standard condition indexes. Or you may want to see a list of condition records that contain a particular sales deal and a material from a user-specified list of products. To display this information, you can create your own condition index.

Creating an Index

Creating a condition index is similar to creating a condition table. In Customizing for Sales, you select the combination of fields that you want in the index key. The system automatically proposes a list of permitted fields to choose from. The fields you specify for the key can have a maximum combined length of 100 characters. Further information on creating an index can be found in the IMG (Implementation Guide).

2) Pricing Date

Enter the identification code for the date to which a condition of this type is to be calculated in the sales document. If you do not enter an identification code, the pricing date or the date of services rendered is used.

Example

It is a good idea to use the goods issue date as the calculation date for freight surcharges. In this case, you enter 'A' as the identification code.
