What Is Condition Base Value?

Where does the standard condition base value (Default one) is determined for a Condition type?

First check the Material Master UOM Conversion - Additional Data - Units of Measure.

Condition base value is a concept used in pricing procedure and actual term used is alternate condition base value. This is a formula assigned to a condition type in order to promote an alternate base value for the calculation of the value.

If you have to calculate price of a material then you have to have a base value for it. For e.g. if you want to calculate the discount of 10 % for a material then you have to have a base value on which this 10% is calculated. Normally you take the condition value of the base price of the material to calculate the value.

Now, you don't want to take the base value and take other value as base value which are derived on some formula. So you create a routine which will do the mathematical operations in the routine and derive you a value which is now used as the base value for calculating the condition value for a particular condition type.

As per my understanding there is Alternative Condition Base Value, It is a routine which is assigned to the condition type in the pricing procedure.

Go to transaction V/08 here you select pricing procedure then go in to the control data of the pricing procedure here you can find Alter native Condition 

Base Value in the 14th column of the pricing procedure control data.
 

What is the difference between:
1. Conditional base value 
2. Conditional value.
3. Conditional amount

1. Conditional base value 

When a value is derived for a condition type, based on certain calculation this value is taken as base.

2. Conditional value.

For the number of units ordered depending on the condition amount mentioned this value is derived.

3. Conditional amount

This is nothing but the unit list price what you are mentioning for the line item.
 

1) What is the role of alternative calculation type, condition base value, requirement in pricing procedure?

2) Where do we define value for alternative condition base value and alternative calculation type so that system picks up different value, when the value for alternative condition base value and alternative calculation type is mention in pricing procedure?

**Alternative Calculation Type:**

This function allows you use a formula as an alternative in finding the value of the condition type, instead of standard condition technique. this can be used to calculate complex tax structures.

Alternative condition base value

The alternative condition base value is a formula assigned to a condition type in order to promote an alternative base value for the calculation of a value.

Example

An absolute header discount is, for example, distributed in the standard system according to the cumulative value of the items.

If the system distributes the absolute header discount according to volume based on the Alternative formula for condition base value , a header discount of $30 results in the following discounts:

Item Value Volume .

1 $1000 2 cbm 

2 $500 4 cbm 

Stand. disc. Volume disc.(With Formula)

$20 $10

$10 $20

Condition formula for alternative calculation type

Alternative formula to the formula in the standard system that determines a condition.

Requirement

This function is used to assign a requirement to the condition type. This requirement can be used to exclude the system from accessing the condition type and trying to determine the value. This can be used to specify that the condition type should only be accessed if the customer has a low risk credit.
