Examples: Condition Types
Whenever an access sequence is used in the following example, this access sequence is understood to access a condition table whose key is defined by the characteristic Material group.
(a) Reference base
Condition category K (Base amount)
Calculation type
B (Fixed amount)Condition class B (Prices)
Scale basis -
Access sequence None
This type of condition is a base condition for revenues from SD. Distribution (SD). This condition type can be used in a costing sheet to calculate additions or deductions depending on the revenue.
(b) Prices from the material master
Condition category S (Standard price)
Calculation type C (Quantity-based)
Condition class B (Prices)
Scale basis -
Access sequence None
The standard price is read from the material master. For example, suppose that the standard price for material "M099312" is USD 100.00 a piece. If you have sold 5 units of this material, the condition takes on the value USD 500.00.
(c) Cash discounts from customer master
Condition category E (Cash discount)
Calculation type A (Percentage)
Condition class A (Deductions/additions)
Scale basis -
Access sequence None
The percentage for the cash discount is read from the terms of payment in the customer master. If the payment terms provide for a cash discount of 3% for a payment within 14 days, the percentage is determined as 3%.
(da) Percentage addition/deduction (not scaled)
Condition category -
Calculation type A (Percentage)
Condition class A (Deductions/additions)
Scale basis -
Access sequence Yes
For material groups "312", "313" and "314", you can maintain the following condition records:
Material group |
Amount |
Unit |
312 |
1 |
% (set by the system) |
313 |
2 |
% |
314 |
1.5 |

These condition records can be used, for example, to calculate the expected outgoing freight.
(db) Percentage addition/deduction (scaled)
Condition category -
Calculation type A (Percentage)
Condition class A (Deductions/additions)
Scale basis B (Scaled by value)
Access sequence Yes
For material group "312", you can define the following value scale:
From value |
Scale currency |
Amount |
