Hi venu,
generally condition types are three types,
these are specified  when you are defining the condition types in configuration
Header condition
item condition
Group condition
1 ) header condition applied for all line items,
which in form of percentage or fixed amount,
if it is % applicable that % for all items,
if it fixed distributed among the items with their values
eg : fixed amount is 500,
3 items are 2000,2000,1000,
distributed like 200,200,100,
important thing is its not possible to give the access sequence for header condition
2 ) item condition:applicable individually for items,
  can give the access sequence to that
3 ) group condition :
this relates to several conditions,
in thecase of group conditionthe values of the relevant items are added and total used as the condition base,
this is flexible for scales,
if this useful reward points
