[Former Member]

Hi freinds,

i have a query,

can we a create a condition type for PO, where user can enter negative value and can assign a vendor against that condition type as like freight vendors in import PO.

now what i have done is , i have created a condition type which accepts negative value , but unable to assign vendor against it.

if i select condition category in condition type as delivery cost it allows me to enter vendorcode but not a negative value.

pls suggest what should i do ?

hi amit,

my firm requires this condition type for HEDGING.

being metal as raw material , hedging is envolved in purchasing for metal.

this hedging can be neither +ve or -ve.

and this hedging amount is paid to the broker.

hope u understood my requirement.

then try to use Cond.category G (Cost).or F (Freight)also if the cost can be bost plus and minus then choose Plus/minus as 'blank'(positive and negative).check this thoroughly.

As my understanding .. amount of hedgeing is paid to broker and not actual to actual vendor. So this amount has to be removed from vendor amount and same as to be paid to broker which is different vendor.

for eg if 100 rs is amount of metal you purchase. and if 20 is hedge amount then you will pay 80 to vendor and 20 to broker.

but i did not understood why u need negative as for hedging u will pay to broker so the condition in which u will assign the broker will have positive value and duirng miro u can pay this amount to broker.

So please explain how negative value will help u. It should be always positive condition value. Am i right?

see, Condition category is used to catogorise the differnt condition . If you eant to treate the condition as freight then you have to select the delivery cost,

I will suggest you to take the help of routine foe the same.

for this u will need the help of ABAP guy

and to create the rountine use T_ code VOFM and then you need to activate the rountine also

The best thing to suggest is create a freight condition type with Plus/minus as 'X' (negative) and add this condition type in your pricing procedure.

Now while using the condition type in the PO select the condition type in the condition tab and further select the detail icon (glass icon) and there you maintain the vendor code which maybe different from the PO vendor code.
