Idocs and Condition Technology

Overview of Condition Technology

The condition type shows what type of condition it is; price, surcharge or discount in value or percentage or values
The pricing procedure specifies the sequence in which the condition types are used for determining prices and the rules used to determine prices
The access sequence is defined in the condition type and determines the sequence in which the system searches for valid entries in the condition tables. You can carry out a special search (here, customer and material) or a more general search (material group)
The condition table represents the validity periods for the individual condition records You can link to the condition records using a single condition record number (knumh)
Condition records:

Konh: Condition header

Konp: Condition item(s) possibly with supplementary conditions

Konm/Konw : Quantity scale or value scale

Structure of an Idoc:

E1KOMG for filter functions (1:obligatory)

E1KONH Condition header (n:obligatory)

E1KONP Condition item (m:obligatory)

E1KONM Quantity scale (i:optional)

E1KONW Value scale (j:optional)

E1KONH

E1KONP Condition item (m:obligatory)

and so on.

All condition records are combined in an Idoc which fulfils specific criteria (See Serialization)

Application + Condition type + Condition table + VAKEY

The Konh blocks are the individual validity periods in a logical unit (see Serialization)

Terms

Idoc type: COND_A01 determines the hierarchical structure of an Idoc for price/condition interchange

Idocs and their segments are assigned to the Idoc type

Output category: COND_A is assigned to the IDOc type. Reduced output categories from the customer are possible

Reduction option: individual fields from the Idoc segments can be reduced. This means that they can be transferred without data. Reduced output categories from the customer can be created, that reference the Idoc type Cond_A01. The reduction option is planned at segment and field level. Whole Idoc segments can be excluded from the transfer (see Customer Adaptation)
