Hi Nitin

Alternative calculation type:

Suppose my gross price (PB) is Rs.100 for some metal per kg and I want to calculate surcharge based on todays RBI index of commodity rather than simply giving some 2%. I want to account todays RBI index in determinig Condition value.

It is possible to do that by little alteration of regular routine.

Alternate Condition base value:

I am procuring 5 different variety of pens at different quantities at varying rates from 0 to 25 in a sing le PO. And I get the total header value of 1000. I will get a discount of 10% if the PO value reaches 1000. I have to subsequently pass on the discount of Rs.100 now to all the 5 line items. In general SAP calculates it based on the values of each line item and proportionately distributes. However If i want this discount to be distributed according to the quantity of each pen. You can acheive this with little alteration of Routine.

Hope this clarifies your doubt.

If found helpful, Pls reward.

in this field u can creat ur own formuls to calculat base price or condition type value

this are called routine.

eg if u want to calculate the cond value on some logic the u can write ur logic in this routine and change the valuer of ur base price or Condution type

simple eq will be rounding up the values of condition type 17 is the routien u can use

hope this helps

thanks for quick answer ,but question is this difference between alternative calculation type and alternative condition.

suppose i want to calculate freight percntage on material net weight, then what value will be maintain in <b>altcty and altcbv</b>

i think we will maintain 13 in altcbv, but what will be maintain in altcty. because in document what i have read like if u want to maintain freight on the basis of material weight, then u have to maintain routine in altcty.
