Positive value for discount condition type.

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I have a very strange problem over here. In the pricing tab in sales order line item, there is one discount condition type which is configured as to give negative value. But in the sales order, its picking positive value. ideally it should have picked up as negative according to configuration. But because of this value being positive, the net value of the sales order has become positive which should not be the case. This is happening second time in the system. Rest of the sales orders with same discount type has correct value (Negative). Any idea why its happening this way in this particular sales order only?

Thanks in advance.

Chetan.

Go to V/06, select the discount condition type and execute. There you can see a field "Plus/minus". Check whether you have maintained X there. If not, maintain and retry.

Dear All,

This is manual discount condition type. No condition records are maintained. And in Plus/Minus field, its negative (X) sign.

Still the condition value is positive in pricing.

Do you think this has anything to do with configuration?

Is there anything in system config due to which this may happen?

Please throw some light.

In V/06 in Plus/Minus feild Minus is maintained then maintain plus for that condition type

Hi,

Sales order is already created. And system has picked up the value as positive for this condition type.

I need to know why this happened so that corrective action can be taken accordingly. Changing field as positive in Plus/Minus would not change already existing sales order.

Please comment.

Once again go to V/06, select that condition type and check whether you have ticked the box "Group Cond." and also "Header condt.". No Access sequence is maintained.

For information, these are the three areas which controls whether the condition type should take positive value or negative value in sale order / billing.

thanks

Hi Lakshmi,

I have checked those three settings, they are correct.

I dont see any problem here either.

What else can be looked at?

I think because your condition type is Manual, system would have allowed user to enter any amount.

One way to control that user enters only negative amount is to define Lower & Upper LImits for this condition type.

Maintain a condition record for the Condition type with amount as rs. 0. Here enter Lower & Upper Limit. (In your case Upper Limit would be 0 & lower limit would be -99999)

Hope this helps...

Thanks,

Hi,

Even if user enters this value in condition type manually, positive or negative, system should pick it up as negative only. But only in this sales order, its not happening.

Thousands of sales orders have been created successfully in the system with positive value in this condition type. This problem never occured.

Now all of a sudden, this has occured.

Any comments?

Hi,

GO to VA02 which is change mode of sales order and choose line item and go to >Item>Conditions

From there choose the condition type and click on condition records,it will taken into the condition supplement of discount condition type, there check how the value has maintained.otherwise check in analysis of pricing procedure.

Dear Chetan,

Check the condition record for that condition type with the specific key combination which is available in the positive value order.

I hope this will help you,
