Using Condition Records

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to work with condition records

Create New Validity Intervals with Reference

You can create a condition record with reference; you can create a condition record based on a template, you can then specify a new validity period, rate, and so on, and then save it.

You can create new condition records with reference to existing condition records.

During the process, you can make changes to the rate, validity period, and additional sales data in the newly created records. This function provides an efficient method to update condition records simultaneously.

When you use the transaction code Create with template(VK14) you can reference the existing condition record and specify new validity period, rate and other data.

Mass Maintenance of Condition Records

The is a mass maintenance option to change several condition records at once: maintaining a 10% price increase for several materials is an example of this.

You can maintain individual condition records manually. The price change function allows you to maintain multiple condition records simultaneously.

You use the change documents to review and monitor the modifications that are made to condition records.

New Condition Records from an Existing Condition Record

You can copy one condition record to multiple target condition records using a copying rule.

You can create multiple condition records by copying an existing condition record. When copying a condition record, you can select from a range of copying rules. For example, if you are copying a customer-specific price condition record, the system provides two options.

Options

Create the target conditions over a specified range of customer numbers.
Create the target conditions over a specified range of material numbers.

Copying rules are maintained in Customizing, and you can create your own.

Release Procedure

See the following video to learn about a release procedure for conditions:

Note

You can use Business Transaction Event 00503303 Maintain Conditions: Transfers to define individual processing logic for the processing status.

Calculation Type

You can select the calculation type to be used when first creating a condition record.

The calculation type for a condition type is defined in Customizing. This calculation type determines how prices or discounts and surcharges are calculated for a condition.

When creating new condition records, you can select a calculation type that differs from the one set in Customizing for condition type.
