Alternate calculation type and alternate base value

hi all,
please guide me the concept of alternate calculation type and alternate base value

Hi,
ALTERNATE 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.
ALTERNATE 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.
And Refer this link.

Requirement type, alternative calculation type and alternative base value?

Hi guys pls can any body experts in pricing
Can u pls explain requirement type, alternative calculation type and alternative base value?
Not theory Any of Ur real time experience

Requirement:
It is a routine that is written by an ABAP consultant according to the business requirement.
By defining Requirement in condition technique we can restrict the access of condition type.
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).
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".
This Requirement will ensure that these condition types will appear only during the billing document processing.
If new Requirements are to be defined we follow the procedure given below.
Go to T.Code: VOFM. - Maintain Requirements & Formulas
Click on the "Requirements" in the top menu and then click on "pricing".
We have a list of requirements, we can ask ABAP consultant to create new requirement based on the client requests.
And we assign the application type like V - Sales/Distribution etc.
AltCty - Condition formula for alternative calculation type:
It is again a Routine that is written by ABAP Consultant.
It is an alternative formula for the condition type that can be used instead of standard formulas.
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.
Ex.: 950 0 Profit Margin 11.
So we assign 11 - Profit Margin.
If new routines are to be defined we follow the procedure given below.
Go to T.Code: VOFM. - Maintain Requirements & Formulas
Click on the "Formulas" and then on the "Condition Values".
We have a list of routines, we can ask ABAP consultant to create new routines based on the client requests.
And we assign the application type.
AltCBV - Alternative formula for condition base value:
Formula for determining the condition basis as an alternative to the standard.
It is again a Routine that is written by ABAP Consultant.
It is used as a basis to calculate value of the condition type instead of using it from the "FROM" column.
Ex.: Freight - KF00.
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.
In this column we can mention the value as 12 - Gross Weight or 13 - Net Weight.
During pricing, the system will consider the value that is mentioned in this column and determine the freight based on this value.
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.

Adding a routine in Alternate Calculation type

Hi All,
I want to add a new routine in the alternate calculation type. Please guide me as where can i see all the routines in SPRO.
SAPXPT

Hi,
I have tried with VOFM on condition value and it is ok. But it does not reflect on the amount side.
In fact my initial question seems to be wrong.
My requirment is basically after getting the cost by EK02, which is the cost per piece. I want to disrtribute extra 200 amount on the per piece cost. For example
Sales Order Quantity = 1000
EK02 / piece = 40
Condition value becomes = 40 X 1000 = 40,000
Adding extra 200 = 200 / 1000 = 0.2
So new cost / piece = 40 + 0.2 = 40.2
Condition value becomes = 40.2 X 1000 = 40,200
Can this be configured in SD.

Alternate Calculation Type?

Hi
In SAP SD-Pricing, suppose I have Alternate Calculation Types for my condition records in a procedure.
I want to know the exact flow, like I know first the requirement will be triggered and then if it is satisfied then only we can go ahead .
BUt in my case I want to know at what point of the code is Alternate Calculation Type triggered.Is there any way I can do it like putting a debug at a specific point.I did that by going in the Alt Calc Type but am still not clear about the exact flow.
Please throw some light on it.
Thanks

Hi,
The function module SD_COND_ACCESS determines the condition records..
Put a break point in the FM..
Thanks,

Difference between alternative calculation type and alternative condition b

What is the difference between alternative calculation type and alternative condition base value?

Hi Nitin
Alternative calculation type:
Suppose my gross price (PB) is Rs.100 for some metal per kg and I want to calculate surcharge based on todays RBI index of commodity rather than simply giving some 2%. I want to account todays RBI index in determinig Condition value.
It is possible to do that by little alteration of regular routine.
Alternate Condition base value:
I am procuring 5 different variety of pens at different quantities at varying rates from 0 to 25 in a sing le PO. And I get the total header value of 1000. I will get a discount of 10% if the PO value reaches 1000. I have to subsequently pass on the discount of Rs.100 now to all the 5 line items. In general SAP calculates it based on the values of each line item and proportionately distributes. However If i want this discount to be distributed according to the quantity of each pen. You can acheive this with little alteration of Routine.
Hope this clarifies your doubt.
If found helpful, Pls reward.

Alt cal type, alt cond base value

Hi SAP Gurrus,
If the interviewer asks, what is alt calc type, alt cond base value , what i have to tell
Plz tell the def and with small example for
1.alt calc type ,
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
Subtotal:
The value of this field determines where the values of subtotals to be captured i.e. in which table and which field.
Controls whether and in which fields condition amounts or subtotals (for example, a customer discount or the cost of a material) are stored.
If the same fields are used to store different condition amounts, the system totals the individual amounts.
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:
It is a routine that is written by an ABAP consultant according to the business requirement.
By defining Requirement in condition technique we can restrict the access of condition type.
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).

Replenishment Lead time
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.

Condition types and scale basis

Hi
Can any one tell me for conditions types and scale basis for maintaining condition records
thanx in adv

dear
Scales in nothing but a range of order quantity, according to the pricing element depending upon the range of quantity prices way be increased/decreased, higher discounts, low freight changes can be offered.
Ex: when per one item is 100/- if customer placed the order for
Range          price
100/-
95/-
90/-
Check --value:
We can specify the changing rule for scale rates as ascending or descending.
Scale type:
This indicator controls the validity of the scale value or percentage from certain quantities or value up to certain quantity or value, alternatively it is possible to work with internal scales that must be stored in the condition type that is the scale type the interval scale cant be change in the condition record due to technical reasons ex: condition type PR02 graduated scale.
Scale formula:
We can specify the formula for determining the scale base value; we can provide formulas that has not been provided in the standard system. Ex: condition type KP003 to support mixed pallet surcharges can be used
Condition scales:
We can maintain scales for each and every condition type so that we can determine pricing condition value depending upon the range of order quantity.
Ex: If we maintain condition record for PR00 for material one as a Rs.1000/- for one material then we can maintain scale for this material like below.
     Quantity          Price
0-10     1000.00
11-20     999.00
21-30     998.00
31-40     997.00
Configuration settings:
Go to VK11; maintain condition record for PR00,
Select line item and click on scale icon on the application tool bar &
Maintain scale rates accordingly, save it & exit.
Got to VA01 and raise scales order, validity periods to scale. Check the condition value
rewards if it helps

How does "Unflatten From String" take a type and return a value of that type?

http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361E-01/glang/unflatten_from_string/
How exactly does the "type" argument for "Unflatten From String" work? I need to create a VI that takes a type, passes it as an argument to several calls of the "Unflatten From String" function, and returns an array containing elements of the type originally passed. The "Unflatten From String" function seems to do some magic though, because the type of the "value" that it outputs changes depending on the type it is passed as input. How do I do the same magic in my VI?
Ultimately, what I need to accomplish is an unflatten-list operation. Given a type T and a byte string of length L (which contains a concatenation of T elements that are flattened to their bytes), create a VI that unflattens all the types in the string and return an array of length (L / sizeof(T)) that contains each type.
Note: performing the unflatten-list operation is trivial, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do it in a VI that takes a type and returns an array of the appropriate type. By the way, my data is being given to me from another source, so please don't bother suggesting that I should be flattening an array using LabVIEW's "Flatten To String" function in the first place. My data is not given in LabVIEW's array format: http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361B-01/lvconcepts/flattened_data/
Thanks a ton!
-Wakka

Take a look at this example: You can see that the flattened string contains several bytes. The first four bytes contain the length of array (number of elements). Since the data type is U32, the next 32 bits (4 bytes) contains the value of the first element, and so on. Could you possibly use this scheme to do what you want to do? Other data types present different outputs. You would have to experiment with them.

Calculation of CST on (Base Value+Service Tax )

Hi Gurus,
We are using tax procedure as TAXINN. Here our client want tax code for service and CST i.e. (Service Tax 10.3 + CST 5%.For this I have done the required configuration in FTXP but still there is a problem regarding calculation of CST.Client wants to calculate   CST 5 % on (Base + Service Tax Amount).
Base Price                               500
Service Tax (10.3 %)             51.5
Total                                        551.5
Cst (5%)                                 27.57
Total Price with Taxes           579.075
As of now what I have seen in system its calculate CST on base price not on total of (Base + Service Tax) on the basis of condition type JVCS.I have following queries on the same:
1.Whether the requirement of client is correct means as per law
2.And if it is correct than how can we configure in SAP in tax procedure
Kindly advice.
Regards,
Abhinav Sharma

HI,
There is no way you can have this done if you are going to book transaction directly in FI based on tax code...this can be done if you are going to post transaction through SD or MM then you can attach routine to calculation procedure if MM and pricing procedure if SD..

Several content types and default field value

Hi!
I have a document library with several custom content types (derived from standard Document type). One of them (CT1) has field with default value. Other content types must not contain this field. And when I upload document, this field has no default value.
If I make CT1 first (and default) content type in a library, default value appears. Also it works when I add the field to the first content type. But in my solution CT1 must not be the first content type in a library and the field must have default value (and
other content types must not have this field). Does anybody know how to make it?

I understood why default value does not work. When we upload document to a library and then see a form with fields, it's not a newform, it's edit form. So when we upload a document, it gets first (default) content type of the library, only default fields
from this content type are filled. The solution here to fill default fields from other content types is to write itemadded event receiver.

CONDITION BASE VALUE / ALT CALCULATION TYPE Pricing

Dear All,
I have a scenario where in I want the condition base value for calculating the value for a condition type to be based on
Gross weight - Net weight value of a material.
Is it possible and if yse how do I acheive the same.
Deepak

Deepak,
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.
Alternative Condition Base value :
If you have to calculate any value then you have to have a base value for it. For ex 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 values as base value which are derived on some formulae. 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.

Pricing - Requirment / calculation type / base value

Dear Friends,
Thnaks for the support and guidance provided by you for my previous posts
In Pricing Procedure we give Requirment, Calculation type and Alternative formula for condition base value, I would like to know where do we exctly define all this?
Or are they standard? If standards where we can see how they works?
Regards
Vishal

Hi,
go through the below Examples for better understanding ..
Example: 1
Condition Type: PR00
Requirement 2 Item with Pricing
Purpose:
This is an example of a pricing requirement. This requirement is met if the document item category is relevant for pricing and no previous condition in the pricing procedure has set the condition exclusion flag. This requirement can be assigned to condition types in the pricing procedure to avoid unnecessary accesses to the database when an item is not relevant for pricing or a condition exclusion indicator has been set.
Example: 2
Condition Type: Net value
Calculation Type: 2 Net value
Purpose:
This is an example of a condition value formula. This type of formula can be used to influence the value shown for the condition in pricing. A condition value formula is assigned to a condition type or value line in the pricing procedure.
Formula '2' sets the value equal to net value that has been calculated so far for the item in the pricing procedure. It contains the amount excluding taxes.
Example: 3
Condition Type: R100
Alt.Condition Base Value: 28 (100% Discount)
Purpose:
This is an example of a condition base value formula. A condition base value formula can be used to influence the basis the system uses when computing a pricing value. A condition base formula is assigned to a condition type in the pricing procedure.
Formula '28' sets the rate of the condition to a 100% discount. This formula was delivered with condition type R100 to support free goods functionality.
