Use

Condition maintenance in Release 4.6A has a new maintenance interface. The new interface enables mass maintenance of conditions relating to a particular feature (for example, relating to the customer). Condition records can be maintained using condition types and condition tables. You can, for example, maintain all material prices for a customer as well as the corresponding discounts or surcharges in one step.

To start condition maintenance, you can use the condition list function, which used to allow selection using condition types and condition tables but now also allows mass maintenance. You have the option of using pricing reports in the area menu COND_AV (Maintaining conditions) in the standard system. You can copy this standard menu and enhance it to suit your personal requirements.

The structure of the area menus and their assignment to employees is also used in condition maintenance. An example of this:

You have employees in your company that are responsible for condition agreements for specific customers.

You can take an existing or newly created condition list (in the standard system the condition list Conditions by customer uses the customer as a selection criteria) and specify the corresponding customers in the selection screen. Choose  Goto Variants Sa ve as a selection variant to receive a selection variant for the condition list.

In the area menu you can now integrate the condition list with the selection variants you wish to use, and the processor responsible can assign himself the job of maintaining these in the area menu. He is then free to assign his own work area.

The processor can maintain all prices, discounts and surcharges for his customers on his screen.

You can select condition records with condition lists for

condition records

You can also always maintain condition records for a specific condition type.

This is required, for example, when you define new condition types and they are not taken into account in selection using pricing reports.

Creating conditions for a condition type is described in the unit Maintaining with Selection via Condition Type and includes examples.
