- Condition Records
Condition record = a condition type with a value
USAGE
A condition record is used to store the data used in pricing calculations
FEATURES
- Validity periods - can limit a pricing agreement to a certain period by specifying a validity period. If no start date it specified, defaults to today; if no end date, default to 30/12/9999. E.g. different price lists for different years.
- Discounts only given for the duration of a special offer
- Validity periods for a condition record cannot overlap.
- Scales- values in a condition record can be maintained according to a scale. Can specify an upper and lower limit for each condition record, so that manual changes can only be made within these limits.
- Condition records are normally created in a specific sales area. Thus, it may depend on which sales area is used as to what price is automatically determined.
- Scales and free goods are optional in R/3.
