Header Condition and Group Condition

What are header conditions?

Header conditions are those which appear in the header level of any sales order. these conditions are to be entered manually and get distributed automatically and the basis for distribution are taken from the NET VALUE of items mentioned at item level. 

When we go to the conditions section in a sales order, where the details of pricing is mentioned, here we add these conditions. 

Whenever any Header Condition is used, it overrides the PR00 condition type.

Examples of header condition.

- HA00 - % Based Header Condition. 

- RB00 - Absolute or numeric value which applies to all items.

- HB00 - Numeric value or Absolute value.                         *-- Vivek Chokshi

What is the difference between group condition and header condition?

Group Condition: You can use this is feature of a condition type to apply price or discount for a material based on common property. 

Header Condition: This is a manual condition which you apply to header (Condition screen) of a sales document. This amount is applicable to all items.

Usage of this feature is to apply price / discount for a specific group of materials. 

1. You maintained a discount based condition record fbased on material group ( = 01 for example). You maintained scales also.

     Qty      Discount 
    1 - 10   Rs. 100.00
  11 - 50   Rs. 105.00
51 - 150   Rs. 110.00 etc.

2. You are creating a sales order for a customer with five different items with different quantities as below

ITEM 1 - 25 No's
ITEM 2 - 3 No's
ITEM 3 - 12 No's
ITEM 4 - 27 No's
ITEM 5 - 62 No's

All the material is having the material group = 01.

3. While calculating the discount, because of this group condition, system add the quantities of items which have material group = 01. In the above example total quantity is = 109. System apply a discount of Rs. 110.00 to each item irrespective of the individual quantities.

4. If you have not activated the group condition feature, system determines the discount value based on individual item quantity which is as below.
                                      Discount
 ITEM 1 - 25 No's         Rs. 105.00
