condition
types
Condition records are maintained using the
condition type. From the condition records, a transfer price is derived for
the exchange of goods and execution of measures between profit
centers.
The text below will describe
1. how you can create a condition
type
2. which condition types are delivered in the standard
system
The condition records in which the concrete
values for finding a transfer price are stored can be entered and displayed
from condition type maintenance. You can also maintain condition records in
the application menu, under Master data -> Transfer
prices.
You can also enter and display the access
sequences from condition type maintenance. However, you can also maintain them
in Customizing for Profit Center Accounting, under Maintain detail
Advanced settings for transfer pricing.
Creating your
own condition records
1. Create a new condition type. To do so, choose
Create in the upper left of the screen.
2. Then enter the following in the right-hand area of the
screen:
a) a key consisting of up to four characters. The key should
begin with the letter 'z', as these name spaces are kept free in the standard
delivery. In addition to this, enter a text.
b) an access sequence, where required, which controls access to
condition records. If you want to specify the access sequence here, it must
already have been defined.
c) Select one of the options in the Define costing
type group box.
3. Choose Goto -> Detail
view.
There are logical
preset control parameters for the condition types Base condition
type from Material Ledger, Base condition type from
Costing, Fixed price and Percentage
surcharge.
No rules exist for
other condition types. However, make sure that the settings you make are
logical and appropriate.
You can make the
following entries:
For Profit Center Accounting, you also need to
enter the following for each condition type:
a) Condition category
The condition
category divides condition types into predefined groups. The following
condition categories are supported in Profit Center Accounting:
' ' (Other
condition categories):
This is used for
condition types which do not need a particular condition category, for example
surcharges/deductions or fixed transfer prices.
'K':
Used for base
condition types to read base values that can be used to calculate other
values.
For technical
reasons, these condition types must use the combination of condition category
'K' , calculation type 'C' and condition
class 'B'. You do not need to enter an access sequence for
these condition types.
This condition type
does not require an access sequence.
'b':
Used for base
condition types to read base values that can be used to calculate other
values.
For technical
reason, these condition types must use the combination of condition category
'b' , calculation type 'C' and condition
class 'B'.
This condition type
does not require an access sequence.
'h'
Used for base
condition types to read base values that can be used to calculate other
values.
For technical
reason, these condition types must use the combination of condition category
'h' , calculation type 'C' and condition
class 'B'.
This condition type
does not require an access sequence.
The following
condition categories can only be used for base condition types using the legal
valuation view.
'G':
For these condition
types, the system reads either the standard price or the moving average price,
depending on how the price control was defined for that material
('S' for the standard price, 'V' for the
moving average price). The condition type does not require an access
sequence.
'S':
For these condition
types, the system reads the standard price from the material master,
regardless of the price control setting. The condition type does not require
an access sequence.
'T':
For these condition
types, the system reads the moving average price from the material master,
regardless of the price control setting. The condition type does not require
an access sequence.
a) Calculation type
The calculation type
determines how the system calculates discounts/surcharges and prices for a
condition type. In Profit Center Accounting, the value can be calculated
either as a percentage (calculation type 'A' ), based on a
quantity (calculation type 'C' or based on an absolute amount
(calculation type 'B').
a) Condition class
The condition class
provides a condition type structure. In Profit Center Accounting, the
structure distinguishes between prices ('B') and
surcharges/deductions ('A' ).
a) Scale basis
The scale basis
determines how the system interprets the scale of a condition type. Profit
Center Accounting contains value scales ('B') and quantity
scales ('C' ) in addition to the basic setting ('
').
Under
Additional settings, you can also make the following settings for
each condition type:
a) Specify a certain +/- sign
b) Check the scale
c) Rounding rules
d) Currency translation
For details on these
settings, see field help for the setting in question.
1. Save your condition type.
Standard
System
Several condition types are delivered with the
standard system. You can use these for defining pricing procedures. These
normally cover the requirements of transfer pricing.
By double-clicking in the upper left of the
screen, you can display the settings for each condition type in the right-hand
area of the screen. By choosing Goto -> Detail view you can
display the control data and additional settings.
The following condition types are delivered as
standard:
- TP01 Transfer price
(fixed)
This is a condition
type for a fixed price.
(Condition category
' ', calculation type 'C', condition class
'B').
- TPB1 Material price (material
ledger)
This is a base
condition type, which uses the profit center price from the material ledger.
Surcharges/deductions can then be calculated in the pricing procedure on the
basis of this base condition type.
(Condition category
'h', calculation type 'C', condition class
'B').
This is a base
condition type, which uses the price from costing. Surcharges/deductions can
then be calculated in the pricing procedure on the basis of this base
condition type.
(Condition category
'K', calculation type 'C', condition class
'B').
This is a condition
type for a percentage markup.
(Condition category
' ', calculation type 'A', condition class
'A').
