After carrying out the selection you can use the transaction VK32 (Change Condition) to reach the conditions overview screen. This contains a list of the condition records to be maintained. In the list header a maximum of three fields are displayed, which are the same for all records, for example, sales organization. The list shows a group of condition records for every condition table. The heading for each group of conditions is the same as the heading for the field descriptions of the condition tables and is highlighted.

Pricing simulation
You can use the pricing simulation to estimate the results of a price change. You can choose several conditions and change them. Then before you save the changes, you can simulate pricing, which then displays the effects of the changes. A billing document is simulated for a customer and a material. As a result you receive a comparison of the old and new net value. You can also compare the old profit margin (net price minus cost price) with the new profit margin.
If you want to create conditions, choose the creation icons in the overview screen, relating to a condition table. You now reach the fast entry screen.
The fast entry screen enables the initial creation of conditions. This can still only be carried out for one condition table. If however, condition types have the same condition table, you can maintain condition records for different condition types.
