Condition type value updation using characteristic value in sales order

Question

Hi Experts,
We are implementing SAP for one of our Spain client. In that one of the Legal requirements is, whenever they are selling the finished products to domestic customers who contain OIL as one of the component then, some additional cost needs to be calculated and collected from customer and which needs to be paid back to Spain Government every month on Region basis.
       If OIL is not a component to produce the finished product then, not required to charge the customer additionally.
The OIL content used to produce every finished product will vary based on product characteristic value. Meaning, for some finished product the OIL used will be 2.2 KG and for some products it will be 3.5, 4.3 KG and etc.
Since various combinations of products are available for the client, during sales order creation we are planning to update some special characteristic which the data flow from u201CVariant Tableu201D. In the variant table we are going to maintain the OIL Quantity required making finished product.
But we are not sure how to activate a new condition type with the value fetched in the special characteristic. This new condition type needs to be activated based on this characteristic value and multiplied with total order quantity and price to charge from customer.
Example, the special characteristic fetched the value of 2.2 KG based on variant table. Total Order quantity is 10 PC and charge is 0.06 EURO per KG. in this case, (2.2 x 10 ) x 0.06 EURO = 1.32 EURO
I need the expert opinion how to activate the new condition type based on characteristic value and achieve the above requirement.
Thanks in advance.
Warm Regards,

Answer 1

Hello,
I have replicated the whole requirememt in IDES and getting the price calculation as needed but the only issue with the Conversion factor for the condition type. Either you need to maintian the conv factor in material master or need to enter manually for the condition type in SO. Some how you have to maintain the conversion factor to calculate the price for the condition type in different unit.
For easy of understanding Lets make the whole requirement in 2 parts
Part - 1
Oil qty calculation. For convenience sake I have taken oil qty also in TO
1) Created a num char OIL_QTY1 with length 9 and decimal places 5 and UOM as TO
2) Created Variant table to infer the OIL qty in TO per piece of finished prod ( This oil qty data may be depends on various factors). For certain Finished products the oil qty may be 0 or blank
3) Created a REF char SO_QTY  to pull the SO qty to configuration and add this char in class 300(Table:VBAP,Field :KWMENG)
4) Created another char SO_OIL_QTY  (Num with length 9 and decimal places 5 and UOM as TO)
5) Created a PROCEDURE say PROC_SO_OIL_QTY with code
*$self.SO_OIL_QTY = $self.OIL_QTY1 * $self.SO_QTY*
6) Create another PROCEDURE as mentioned earlier with modified code
$SELF.A_VARCOND = 'TEST_001' if OIL_QTY1 specified,
$SET_PRICING_FACTOR ($SELF,A_VARCOND,'TEST_001', SO_OIL_QTY)
Note: Maintain proper seq of the procedures in profile. The Qty cal proc should be before the price related procedures.
PART-2
1) For the condition type maintained 60 EUR per TO (0.06 EUR per KG)
Now if you create SO for the Finished product of 10 PC
the Char values will be
OIL_QTY1  = 0.00022 TO (inferred from Variant table th proc)
SO_QTY    = 10
SO_OIL_QTY = 0.0022 TO
Get into conditions tab
Here Condition type ZSIG will be displayed as error with Amount 60 EUR per TO and condition value will be blank. Just enter value 1 in the col NumC and CCon fields.
Now the Condition value will appear as 1.32 EUR.
Hope this gives some more clarity
