The condition category classifies condition types according to predefined categories.

The following condition categories are used in Profitability Analysis:

E

K

Base value

Calculation Type

The calculation type determines how the system calculates prices, deductions, or additions for a condition type. For example, it can specify that a sales deduction should be dependent on the quantity sold or on a value scale.

The following calculation types are used in Profitability Analysis:

A

Condition Class

The condition class divides condition types into two different classes:

A

Deductions/additions

B

Prices

 

Scale Basis

The scale basis determines how the system interprets the value or quantity scale for a condition. Scales can be dependent on a quantity or on a currency amount.

The following scale bases are used in Profitability Analysis:

B

Value scale

C

Quantity scale
