Hiding Condition types

[Former Member]

a) In Sales & Distribution my client has a requirement of hiding Condition types (gross margin, cost etc) which should not be visible to clerical staff.

b) i need to maintain Employee hierarchy in order to record sales target for each employee and monitor the sales.

Question

a) I need to add condition types in my pricing procedure to calculate cost and gross margin but is there any option in configuration/authorization that these condition types cant be visible at sales order ?

b) How can i define employee hierarchy in standard SD ? Can i use customer hierarchy for such purpose?

Hi Asif,

Firstly i need a clarification on whether everybody in the system should not see the gross margin, cost etc. or it is only for clerical staff? If you completely want them to be visible from the system;

-you should go to item category configuration and do not select " determine cost" there. But if you do not maintain it (cost VPRS) , you can not get profit margin information from sales order.

Moreover, you should fix your pricing procedure configuration again.

I hope these will be useful for you.

Hello Asif

a) There are authorization objects to display/hide for costs (Condition type VPRS) and the profit margin line. Please work with your Auth specialist or Basis team for this.

b) With respect to employee hierarchy, You can use Sales Offices, Sales Groups and assign sales Employees to Sales Groups. This is the standard option. You could also create employees as customers with a Z- Account Group and assign them to a hierarchy as well. In both these options, you could use Rebate Agreements and conditions to set and monitor targets. You could depict your Org Model using HR module with Org Units, Positions and Position Holders (Employees) and this would be the best option but I am not sure how to tie it up with targets. I am sure HR Module would have a standard way to set/monitor targets. Fourth, You could also look at Incentives and Commissions Module for this.

Hope this helps.
