Hi! Ram

1) Reqmt: It is routine used for condition types which are to be excluded while determinin the net value. For eamples rebate agreements which are not to added up for net value.

Alt cal type: It is also a kind of sub-routine where we mention a formula instead of maintaining a cond type for it. For ex: Profit margin we can use formula and no need to maitain any cond type

Alt Base value: Its used mostly for Header conditions. Where we can mention a formula saying that it should get trigger if that formula gets satisfied.

2) Accrual: This you use for Rebate purpose. Where you provide a Acct Key for which you assign one G/L acct. Here for this acct the rebate dicount vslue of the Invoice gets cumulated.

3) Rebate: Its a kind of discount you are giving to a customer on the basis of sale volume he makes. There are 5 types. Its gets calculalted by maintained condition in rebate agreements

4) Material determination is used when you want to change your prodcut with the other one or by adding some extra packing. This you can use at the time of Festival offers. Where as Listing and exclusion are different. if you maintained any listing for a customer then you can raise a sales order only with those material only. If you maintained few material as exclusion for a customer then you can use them in sales order for that customer. You better maintain either one of them to customer depening upon the scenario.

Hope the above will help you

hi

*1. WHAT IS REQUIREMENT*

Condition Types are executed only if the specific conditions mentioned in the routine are met.

Useful in controlling specific activation of Condition types.

Useful in improving the system performance as records are accessed only once requirements are met.

ALTERNATE CALCULATION TYPE

Alternative formula to the formula in the standard system that determines a condition

A powerful tool in Pricing Procedure

Used for performing complex calculations

Extensively used for calculating Taxes , Rounding etc..

ALTERNATE CONDITION BASE VALUE

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

Used for determining the base on which Calculation of the condition value has to be carried out

Used for calculating Taxes , Discounts , Freights etc.

2. WHAT IS ACCRUAL?

Key which identifies various types of G/L accounts for accruals or provisions.

With the aid of the account key, the system can post amounts to certain types of accruals accounts. For example, rebate accruals which are calculated from pricing conditions can be posted to the corresponding account for rebate accruals.

4. WHAT IS MATERIAL DETERMINATION? HOW IT IS DIFFERENT FROM LISTING AND EXCLUSION?

material determination can be used for:

1. automatic selection - you enter a material A. but if there is shortage or if there is a sales promotional campaign, you want the system to automatically replace this with material B.

2. barcodes - you enter the barcode, and the system automatically replaces the barcode with the material number in the order

listing - this is to limit your customer to the materials in this list

exclusion - you want to prevent the customer from ordering certain materials

hope this will help you
