Pricing: Quantity Adjustment

This feature enables you to adjust the quantity that a price condition uses in a business document. You use this function if the quantity that is relevant for the corresponding condition deviates from the quantity of the business document item. In a business document, the system uses a specific condition type to calculate an adjusted quantity by applying an adjustment factor. Such a condition is called a source condition. Subsequent conditions can use the calculated adjusted quantity or the adjustment factor of source conditions.

You can control how the system behaves during pricing by specifying one of the following quantity adjustment types in Customizing:

Adjusted quantity: One condition refers to a single source condition and uses it as the input value for the calculation of its condition base value. If the input unit of measure and the condition unit of measure are different, the system performs a quantity conversion.
Adjustment factor: One condition refers to one or more source conditions and multiplies their adjustment factors with the condition base value.
To support the calculation of an adjusted quantity in a condition type, calculation type V (Quantity Adjustment) is available in Customizing of the condition type.
You can define condition master records for condition types with calculation type V and determine them in a business document by use of the condition technique.

In addition, to calculate an adjusted quantity, the system supports the following functions:

Configurable parameters and formulas
