Counters are used to further sequence the steps, if multiple lines are required to be added at same step.

For Eg:

VAT / ST / CST are in same step say Step no 150 in pricing procedure.

Step 150 Counter 1 Condition type ZVAT (for VAT)

Step 150 Counter 2 Condition Type ZMST (for Local sales Tax)

Step 150 counter 3 Condition Type ZCST (for CST)

Hope the above is helpful.

hi

counter is one of the feild in 16 feilds in pricing procedure. we use counter to reduce the number of steps in our pricing procedure. say for example you want to put all freights in 8th step only

generally you put

step counter cond type

8 0 kf00

9 0 hd00

10 0 rb00

here you have used 3steps , to reduce these steps and to put all the 3 conditon types in one step (say 8th) you use counter

now using counter

step counter cond type

8 kf00

8 1 hd00

8 2 rb00

hope now it is clear why we use counter feild.

Hiya

Steps, if you have noticed increases by 1. However say after implementing the pricing procedure you need to insert new condition type between two, say between 8 and 9. then you use the counter. 8 - 1, 8 - 2, .....8 - 99. this gives flexibility to the pricing procedure.

You can check the condition type for rebate in standard IDES system. It has STEP 110 and they have used counter to demonstrate its use.

Hope this explains...
