Sales Order Freight Condition In Header Condition

ERP SAP ==> SD SAP

Common questions:
We are using the Freight in Header Condition. I maintained two line items in the Sales Order. So the Header freight is splitting irregularly for two line items (in item conditions) . How it is happening? Any formula is there?

Header Conditions - Automatic pricing does not take header conditions into account; you can not create condition records for them in the standard system. 

Header conditions are entered manually in order processing. R/3 includes the following header conditions:
- Percent discount (HA00) 
- Absolute discount (HB00) 
- Freight (HD00) 
- Order value (HM00) 

Header Condition: If this condition is marked as a header condition, it is possible to enter the condition type in the header condition screen. Checks for changing the condition manually are unaffected by this.

Group Condition: Group conditions are helpfull incase of discounts. If group condition is selected then the discount percentage or quantity is applicable for the total sum of the quantity in the PO for those materials belonging to the same material group.  Suppose if two materials of same matl grp have discounts for 100 qty and above but in PO if the two matls are bieng procured for 50 qty then they cant avail discounts but if group condition is selected then the sum of the quantity of both matl of same matl group is considered (50 + 50) and discount can be availed for 100 qty.

Further Group condition: Indicates whether the system calculates the basis for the scale value from more than one item in the document.

The nature of header condition is that whatever value you are giving in sale order / billing, line item wise, it will be distributed proportionately.

If you access V/06 and the header condition type, you can see that the condition type 
- does not have any access sequence 
- field Group condition is selected 

Normally Freight Header condition like condition type "HD00" is calculated on the basis of weight. This is a Manual condition and you have to enter it in the header screen.  It will be proportionately distributed on each item on the basis of weight.  If you will uncheck the group condition field, the same freight amount will be copied to each item, possibly irrespective of different weight which may not be logical.

That is the standard behaviour of the header condition type.

Based on whether the group condition field is ticked on or off, it will either split the header condition value to the items on pro-rata basis or it will just duplicate the header value to all the items.

What you are experiencing with Fixed Amount Header conditions is standard behaviour. Please see below Notes: 
- 876617 FAQ: Header conditions / Header condition screen 
- 317112 Behavior of conditions w/ calculation rule B changed 
- 485740 Conditions with fixed amount in copy activities 

To achieve what you wish (absolute amount), solution is in the below Notes: 
- 84605 Transfer absolute amount condition to billing doc. 
- 25020 Value changes during over/underdelivery 
- 25144 Freight conditions during milestone billing
