Alt cal type

hi gurus,
what is use of alt calculation type???

Hi friend,
Alternative Calculation Type, Requirement, Cond Base values are used in Pricing to meet the not so common business requirement. The normal prcing requirements can be mapped without using them .
Coming to the AltCalType, we have to use routines which stores the business logic and can be used against the relevant condition type as per the business requirment. The routines , in other words are the formulas that are defined in Tcode- VOFM by the abapers based on the logic given by the functional consultants.
Remember: The routine is applied against a condition type in the pricing procedure
Some of the standard Altcaltype routines are as below
Routine /Formula :- 15
A company has defined minimum prices for materials.
When a material is sold, it should not be sold for a price below the predefined minimum price. When pricing is done for a sales document line item, if the net price of the item falls below the minimum, the system should automatically compute a surcharge to bring the price up to the minimum price. To accomplish this, the user would define the minimum prices using the condition type PMIN. PMIN would be defined in the pricing procedure and condition value formula '15' would be assigned. Using the formula, the system compares the minimum price with the net price calculated to that point in the pricing procedure. If the minimum price is not met, the system computes the necessary surcharge and assigns it to the PMIN condition line.
Routine /Formula :- 48
Formula '48' was delivered to ensure that the down payment amount the user offsets in a billing document does not exceed the actual down payment value. Condition value formula '48' is assigned to the condition type in the pricing procedure representing down payments (R/3 delivered condition type AZWR).
Let me know for any further clarifications.

SD: Pricing: Subtotal, Alt Cal type, Requirements

Dear All
Can you please help providing details on functions of standard Subtotal and Alt Cal Types provided in SAP-SD Pricing.
I mean:
1. Standard Subtotals like 2,3,5,G etc.
2. Alt Cal Types like 4,7 etc.
3. Requirements Like 10, 70, 71, 4 etc.
Any document details will be highly appreciated.
Thanks
Raghu A.

Subtotal:
u2022     The value of this field determines where the values of subtotals to be captured i.e. in which table and which field.
u2022     Controls whether and in which fields condition amounts or subtotals (for example, a customer discount or the cost of a material) are stored.
u2022     If the same fields are used to store different condition amounts, the system totals the individual amounts.
u2022     These condition amounts or subtotals are used as a starting point for further calculations. You may, for example, want a subtotal of all the discounts included in the pricing of a sales order.
Requirement:
u2022     It is a routine that is written by an ABAP consultant according to the business requirement.
u2022     By defining Requirement in condition technique we can restrict the access of condition type.
u2022     To understand the concept, we will take the example of the Rebates. Rebates are to be included during the billing document processing and not in the sales document processing. As rebates are given on the delivered quantity and not on the ordered quantity (in case of cut-off period for rebates).
u2022     For rebates we use the condition types BO01 to BO05, and in the Requirement column we give the value 24 which is "Only in Billing Document".
u2022     This Requirement will ensure that these condition types will appear only during the billing document processing.
u2022     If new Requirements are to be defined we follow the procedure given below.
u2022     Go to T.Code: VOFM. - Maintain Requirements & Formulas
u2022     Click on the "Requirements" in the top menu and then click on "pricing".
u2022     We have a list of requirements, we can ask ABAP consultant to create new requirement based on the client requests.
u2022     And we assign the application type like V - Sales/Distribution etc.
AltCty - Condition formula for alternative calculation type:
u2022     It is again a Routine that is written by ABAP Consultant.
u2022     It is an alternative formula for the condition type that can be used instead of standard formulas.
u2022     For example, let us take the Profit Margin which can be both + / - , so here this routine will help us in generating the value which can be either + or -. Profit margin is not a condition type so it cannot be classified as +ve or -ve in the V/06.
u2022     Ex.: 950 0 Profit Margin 11.
u2022     So we assign 11 - Profit Margin.
u2022     If new routines are to be defined we follow the procedure given below.
u2022     Go to T.Code: VOFM. - Maintain Requirements & Formulas
u2022
u2022     Click on the "Formulas" and then on the "Condition Values".
u2022     We have a list of routines, we can ask ABAP consultant to create new routines based on the client requests.
u2022     And we assign the application type.
AltCBV - Alternative formula for condition base value:
u2022     Formula for determining the condition basis as an alternative to the standard.
u2022     It is again a Routine that is written by ABAP Consultant.
u2022     It is used as a basis to calculate value of the condition type instead of using it from the "FROM" column.
u2022     Ex.: Freight - KF00.
u2022     Freight is calculated based on weight, volume etc. and not on the base price. In pricing there is no entry of weight from which the value can be referred like we do for discounts using base price. We have to get the value from the Material master.
u2022     In this column we can mention the value as 12 - Gross Weight or 13 - Net Weight.
u2022     During pricing, the system will consider the value that is mentioned in this column and determine the freight based on this value.
u2022     Suppose we have Net weight: 100 kgs and Gross Weight: 150 kgs. And if we mention 13 in this column then the Freight condition KF00 will be calculated using the weight as 100 kgs.

Header condtion will not go with alt cal type

We attached alternative cal type to one of our header conditions. It is not working; the value found by this alt cal type is overwritten by standard SAP.
Is standard sap accepts the alternative cal type for the header condition?
Generally we enter manually the value for header condition.
If this is possible how to do the configuration setting of this header condition types ?
Laxman

Hi Laxman,
I think you are confusingtwo things.
One thing is header condition. For you to make a condition work at the headre level, you need to define it as header value in the condition definition. Then only it will work from Header to item level.
In your case the prices are moving from item to header and hence your calculated vaues are overwritten by the summed values of your line item values.
The second thing is manuall entry of prices. So if in your definition condition if manual entry is given preference then whatever the value SAP calculates will be overwritten by the manual price and this is irrespective of the fact that its header or item price.
Hence, if you want to make the header price work make it header condition in condition definition.
Hope this helps.

2. alt cond base value ,
3. Subtotal.
which is in Pricing procedure.
2. What is Replenishment Lead time.

Hello,
What prashant told in that i will add something like.
alt calc type u acn give example like rutine no 11 which is used for calculating profit magin.
base cal type u can give example is 12 or 13 that we use to cal fright. like we cal frieght on wt basis we take base cal type as wt from mmr.
some detailed info as follows i hope this will help u lot for understanding the same

Time needed for production & procurment of item.
like for ex u mainatin rlt as 10 days when u put sales order u do avail.check if stock is not there then system cosider RLT for giving confirmed delivery date in future.
u can maintain it in mmr or even in sales doc type.

Abt pricing (Alt Cal & Base cal type

Hi gurus,
I want to know more abt alt cal type & base cal type.
I know that we use base cal type for frieght cond.
Want to know more abt the same.
Thanks in advance
regards
nitin

The alternate base value is used as the calculation basis only, while the alternate calculation is used to modify the final value.
*For example *
imagine you have a condition type ZZ01, with a condition record maintained (master data) for $100. Now, condition ZZ02 also exists lower in the schema, but with a rate of 10%. The standard calculation would result in a final value of $110.
The alternate base value could say, "don't use $100 as the basis -- use the original price PR00 only, which was $90." Then, the final value would be $100 + (10% of $90) = $109.
The alternate calculation routine says, "ignore the 10% altogether. Instead, use an externally calculated 20%." Then, you end up with a final value of $100 + (20% of $100) = $120.
Put them both together, and you could end up with $100 + (20% of $90) = $118.
Now once again,
Alternative Calculation Type
Normally if you want to calculate a value you have to use a calculation type for determinating the value. This calculation type is either addition, subtraction or multiplication. Similarly SAP also has got a default calculation type in the control data of the condition type. There you have the options of either Qty based , Fixed Amount Based or Percentage based.
Here what happens is suppose if you define Your condition type that calculates the base price of a material on Qty based. Then the calculation will be done based on the quantity of the material. If the customer orders 10 Nos and you have maintained a unit price of 100 Rs for each material then the value determined is 1000 INR. Similarly if the discount condition type , you maintain the calculation type as %. This means if you maintain the value of 10 % in the condition record. Then this percentage is taken as the calculation type and the condition value is determined.
In some cases you have to forego the default calculation types and use the customer specific method for calculating a value. For ex if you are calculating the Freight charges for a Material . it depends on so many criteria like, the weight, volume and also the minimum amount etc etc, in those cases, you forego the default value and then use the alternative calculation type in calculating the condition value against the particular condition.
Base calc. type:
I think it is available in the V/06 screen for each condition type. This is the standard calc. type followed for any condition type.
Hope it is useful

Requirement, alt conditiion base value,alt .caluculatin type

Hai,
Suppose a business requirment in pricing is to develop a routine.How can i come to a decision that i need to write a routine in
"REQUIREMENT"
"ALT CAL TYPE"
"ALT CONDITION BASE VALUE" fields.
Plz suggest me;

hi,
Hope this can help you,
Pricing requirements are typically used to define when an access should be made in pricing. They
can be assigned to a condition type in a pricing procedure or to an individual access in an access
sequence. An access will only be made if the requirement is met. Using requirements can improve
performance by eliminating unnecessary accesses to the database.
When pricing is carried out for a sales document, the system processes the pricing procedure one step
at a time. For example, the user may have listed condition type PR00 first to determine the price. If
a requirement has been assigned to PR00 in the pricing procedure, the system will check to see if it is
met. If it is met, the system continues to look for prices using the assigned access sequence. If it is
not met, the system skips that condition type and goes to the next level of the pricing procedure. The
same holds true for the individual levels of the access sequence. If a requirement is assigned, the
access is only made if the requirement is met.
Condition base value formulas can be used to influence the condition basis to which the pricing condition rate will be applied. In standard pricing, the system will apply the condition rate to the quantity in the sales document. For example, the price determined by the system is $45 per case for Product A. 100 cases of Product A have been ordered. The system would then multiply $45 times the number of cases of Product A ordered. Using a condition base value formula, it is possible to alter the condition base, in our example 100, prior to the calculation taking place. A condition base value formula is commonly used to determine the base for distributing header discounts / surcharges to the sales document line items. A condition base value formula is assigned to a condition type in the pricing procedure.
Condition value formulas are available to influence the condition value that is displayed for a particular condition type or value line in the pricing procedure. In standard pricing, the system will calculate the condition value by multiplying the condition rate by the quantity. For example, 100 cases times $45 per case equals $4,500. Using a condition value formula, it is possible to alter the condition value, in our example $4,500. Condition value formulas can also be used to compute values that should appear as value lines in the pricing procedure. As an example, standard delivered condition value formulas can be used to compute profit margin and item net value. A condition value formula is assigned to a condition type in the pricing procedure.

Invoice pricing procedure not using alt calc type from the pricing procedur

The sales order has the same pricing procedure as the invoice but when the invoice is created it is not using the alt calc type that is on the pricing procured like it is on the sales order. This is causing one of the condition types to have different values on the sales order vs. invoice.
I am not sure what other areas to check to see why this is happening. Any thoughts?

I have checked and in the copy controls for Delv type = LF and target Bill type = F2 the Pricing Type = G (copy pricing elements unchanged and redetermine taxes). Condition types such as ZPR2 where there is condition record copy in correctly to the invoice. It is condition type ZZIF where it is determined from a routine, not a condition record, where I am having this issue.
Is there another place in config that I should be making a setting so that condition types determined by routines are copied to the invoice without being redetermined at invoice create?

Requirement:
A factor in the condition technique that restricts access to a condition table. The system only accesses a condition table to determine the price if the requirement specified has been met.
Example:
The system uses an access sequence to determine the price of a material. One of the accesses in the sequence contains the requirement "in foreign currency." The system only uses the table behind this access if the sales order for which the price must be calculated is in a foreign currency.

TAX condtion is manual and with Cal type is 'B' fixed amt

Hello Team,
I am new to SCN, Need Help on below issue,
Requirement : In my Client Process, Only Tax value (manually condition maintained) need to settle to the customer It is like a Credit memo and Debit memo Process. (NO delivery and PGI).
Reason : some times User entering wrong (Mostly Client is using manual conditions in pricing procedure becoz it is integrated with AFS) Tax values and processing, for this we need to develop a new OTC cycle to settle only TAX amount/value to the customer by calling BApi which are the values entered wrongly and processed by the user.
for this created one Pricing condition and placed in pricing procedure and maintained condition record with only 0.01 INR (here Client approved to maintained min net value so i maintained 0.01 INR.)
created TAX condition type maintained manual condition with required fields in pricing procedure.
maintained VKOA settings for both condition types.
maintained tax code and TAX procedure determinations with the help of FICO team
creating SO it is working fine, when trying to post the values in to accounts giving errors "TAX CODE PROCEDURE TAXINJ IS INVALID"
and even we created VKOA settings and Tax code in FTXP for TAX condition type it not reflecting in revenue account determination at VF02 View, only Pricing tax determination is showing, TAX determination is missing,
kindly help me out on this.

Use of alternate cal.type '7'

Hi Friends,
What is alternate calculation type ' 7' used for ? Could anybody tell me with an example ?
Regards
Mahesh

Hai Mahesh,
Alternative caltype is used in pricing prcodure when u assigned contiontypes in PP, As all of us Knew.
req--007 (Domestic Business)
This requirement is met if the departure country is identical to the destination country. This requirement can be assigned to a condition type in the pricing procedure or an access level in an access sequence that is only relevant for domestic sales or purchases.
Within a sales or purchasing document, the tax can be calculated in the pricing procedure using a condition type. In many cases, taxes may be calculated differently based on whether the transaction is a domestic transaction or an import / export transaction.
Using an access sequence, the user can define different ways to access tax information for the document item. The user would assign pricing requirement '7' to those accesses which are only relevant for domestic transactions.
Pricing requirement '8' can be used to indicate an export / import transaction.

LE Pricing - inactive due to calculation basis/shipping material type - K

Guys
I need your help we have three condition types in LE pricing with same condition class (discount) and condition basis (delivery), all three need to be activated in the pricing procedure with some value or the other. Currently two conditions show inactivem, is there way around to make all active, a SAP note, User Exit or something.
I would really appreciate your help.
Edited by: Vikas Advani on Nov 18, 2010 7:27 PM

Hi, You did not mention the condition types name & your mail does not provide sufficient data. hence I am in the position to explain common reason for this issue.
a condition can become inactive in the pricing procedure dynamically if any other subsequent conditions take precedence over it.
your conditino was calculated with an alt. cal type, but there would have been some other condtiion in your pri procedure which was more relevant with respect this condition so it became inacitve automatically.
for example we may have a PR00 price in the sales order and a disc condition on it based on a alt cal type instead of condition record. But the moment we supply the line item with a net price condition like PN00 automatically the disc condition should become inactive and becomes inactive. Reason is after net price we dont to give any further discounts.
Hope it helps.
