Hello sap prof,
Can u plz tell me the definitions of the following.
1. What is condition Update.
2. what is condition Index.
3. what is meant by alt calc type and alt cond base value
<b>Condition Index:</b>
It can be created for particular condition type to maintain condition records.
When checked this specifies whether the system updates one or more condition indices when maintaining condition records.
This makes it possible to list or maintain condition records independently of condition type and condition table
<b>Condition Update:</b>
Together with condition index, this field when checked allows to restrict the usage of the condition type for limited sales orders or for particular condition value.
<b>AltCty Condition formula for alternative calculation type:</b>
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.
<b>AltCBV - Alternative formula for condition base value:</b>
Formula for determining the condition basis as an alternative to the standard.
It is again a Routine that is written by ABAP Consultant.
It is used as a basis to calculate value of the condition type instead of using it from the FROM column.
Ex.: Freight KF00.
Freight is calculated based on weight, volume etc. and not on the base price. In pricing there is no entry of weight from which the value can be referred like we do for discounts using base price. We have to get the value from the Material master.
In this column we can mention the value as 12 Gross Weight or 13 Net Weight.
During pricing, the system will consider the value that is mentioned in this column and determine the freight based on this value.
Suppose we have Net weight: 100 kgs and Gross Weight: 150 Kgs. And if we mention 13 in this column then the Freight condition KF00 will be calculated using the weight as 100 kgs.

Hi ,
I have a small issue comming . When creating a sales dael and i do put scales intially the scales are set at from scale , I press F6 and change the *Scale Type to "B" *it gets saved .This is fine.
But when i want to copy the same by selecting the Copying Condition a tab near to Select Rule at the bottom , the system does not Copy the scale Type to "B" it takes as "A".
If there is any solution Please Provide the settings.
Regards
Anil

Hi,
<b>CONDITION INDEX</b>
You specify which fields of the condition records are taken into account when creating the index. The selected fields are displayed as selection criteria in the application menu for selecting condition records. In addition to the possibility of searching for condition records using the condition type (for example, prices, surcharges, discounts) and the organizational data, you can define and use other selection criteria using the condition index.
Example:
The standard system contains two indexes with which all condition records can be selected for a certain material (index 001) or a certain customer (index 002) independently of the condition type,
<b>Actions if you create and use your own indexes</b>
1. You can create a condition index either by copying an existing index and changing it afterwards or by carrying out the following steps.
2. Check whether the list of allowed fields meets your requirements. If you need new fields, you can include them in the field catalog for the condition index.
3. Create a condition index by entering a table between 501 and 999 and choosing the required fields from the list of the allowed fields.
The selected fields can have a maximum length of 100 characters.
Define the sequence of the fields so that the first field in the index is the field that is most frequently searched for. In addition, SAP recommends that you include the sales organization and the distribution channel.
Generate the condition index. Indexes created by you are activated automatically.
4. In the field "Condition index" on the detail screen of the respective condition type, select the condition types to be taken into account for the condition index.
<b>CONDITION UPDATE</b>
Controls whether limit values are relevant for pricing.
E.g.: you can make the use of a particular condition record in the document dependent on a specified total value.
This total value can be specified in the condition record.
In VK11, when you maintain a condition record, select the line item, in the menu bar select go to additional data. Here you can limit the cumulated value of the condition type and you restrict the value up to a definite number of sales orders.
<b>ALTERNATIVE CALCULATION TYPE</b>
Alternative formula to the formula in the standard system that determines a condition. For this you specify a routine which is defined in VOFM transaction code. Standard routines are available and with the help of the Abaper new routines can also be developed.
<b>ALTERNATIVE CONDITION BASE VALUE</b>
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
Reward points if solution helps.

hi,
1. <b>Condition Index</b>
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.
2. <b>Condition Update</b>
Special offers and discounts to customers are frequently offered as part of a sales promotion based on accumulated sales order data. For example, when your customers place orders for a new product, you may offer them an introductory allowance up to a specified total value (for example, up to USD 5,000). As a customer places orders for the new product, the system must be able to keep track of the cumulative discount total. With Release 2.1, it was possible to accumulate values based on invoices for the purpose of processing rebate agreements. In Release 2.2 this idea was extended to include a new, more general condition update function.
Controlling Condition Update
Condition update is controlled by the condition type in setting Customizing for Sales. If you set the condition update for a particular condition type, the system subsequently updates the corresponding condition records whenever you process relevant sales and billing documents.
Pricing Function Support
Condition update provides the basis for the following pricing functions:
Maximum Value
Maximum quantity
Maximum Number of Sales Orders

Also regarding this, I have given different examples many a times in this forum. You can search forum on this and sure you will get more ideas.
Thanks
