Recycling Conditions
Recycling conditions are time-dependent percentages that the system uses as reductions or surcharges in price determination.
A recycling condition is uniquely defined by the condition type. The condition type category defines the location in which the condition is taken into account in price determination. REA distinguishes between the following condition type categories:
Quantity condition that changes the percentage of the quantity flow
Price condition that changes the percentage of the fraction price through the relationship with a special condition type
Header (or customer-specific) condition that changes the percentage of the overall license fee
If you use splitting methods in REA to determine prices, you can define the splitting that is actually time-independent time-dependently using REA condition types.

Note
The recycling conditions and the SD/MM conditions differ from one another. You can use both condition concepts
with REA independently of or in combination with one another.
REA can generate SD/MM conditions and provide them with SD/MM price determination if you want to calculate the value of an article, packaging, or material. Recycling conditions, on the other hand, are a time-restricted reduction or surcharge when calculating the fee with a recycling partner.
