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.

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.

What is the difference between Recon. Account and Alternative Recon. Accoun

hi
any body please tell me . What is the difference between Recon. Account and Alternative Recon. Account.

Hello sairama,
Reconciliation account- For each subledger account , you must keep at least one reconciliation account in the general ledger. When you post to an account in the subledger, the system automatically posts to the corresponding reconciliation account. The "Receivables from goods and services" account is an example of a reconciliation account for customers. Enter Customer in the Reconciliation account for account type field. Enter a Vendor in this field for a vendor reconciliation account. Using the reconciliation account procedure, it is possible to create a balance sheet and a profit and loss statement at any time, since the amounts posted to subledger accounts are also posted automatically in the general ledger.
During regular reconciliation, you check whether the balance of the reconciliation account matches the balance of the corresponding subledger account.
You define reconciliation accounts by specifying in the G/L account master record the account type (such as fixed assets, vendor or customer) for which the account is to be used. In this way, the account can only be assigned to accounts in the corresponding subledger. You set the assignment of the subledger account to a reconciliation account in the master record of the subledger account. You cannot post to reconciliation accounts manually .
============================================================
Alternative Reconciliation account- Special G/L transactions are identified by a special G/L indicator. The system uses the specifications (posting key and special G/L indicator) to determine the alternative reconciliation account.
When you post a special G/L transaction, the system does not post to the normal reconciliation accounts but instead automatically to alternative accounts, that is, special G/L accounts. Consequently, you do not transfer the balances of these accounts either. Instead, the system posts to the appropriate accounts automatically when the open items are transferred.
Hope I had been able to help you. Please assign points.

Difference between Data carrier type and Data carrier??

Hi experts,
Could you please explain me the difference between Data carrier type and Data carrier with an example??
Regards,
Kiran T

hi Kiran,
Data carrier is to achive communication between server and user front end. We can define one data carrier type along with path as default for all or seperate data carriers type for specific users in define data carrier in SPRO. This defined data carriers again we assign to application in defining network for workstation application in SPRO.
By using data carrier we can upload to & download originals from server. We can change and print the documents from server.
Please award pts if its useful / need further information.

Difference between check function module and start condition

Hello Rob,
In previous answer u said thr is no difference between check function module and startcondition but there is a difference between checkfunction module and start condition.
Before the workflow is triggering can u able to check the conditions in startcondition.The startcondition can check the condition only after the workflow has been triggered.
But in check function module u can check the condtion before the workflow got triggered.

As you've correctly established, even the SAP documentation contradicts their nonsense. A start condition is implemented as a check function, so there is no difference; and NO workflow is started at any time if they fail.

What is the difference between /6** wage types and /7** wgae types

Hi All,
Can you please tell me the difference between /6 & /7 wage types
and in what scenario /6 and /7 wage type amounts differ
Thanks in advance
Krishna

- /6XX - Gross wages less pre-tax deduction. For example, if salary is $1,000 and the 401(k) deduction is $200,/6xx will be $800. SAP passes this amount to BSI for tax calculation. (/EXX - Tip income processing)
- /7XX - Reportable taxable amount calculated by BSI. If ceilings on taxable amounts exist and are exceeded, BSI will return a reportable taxable amount of zero. (/FXX - tip income processing).

Difference between Storage Unit type and storage type

Hi,
I am confused with storage unit type and storage type.
Can anyone help me with real case examples.
I would like to know about Storage unit types and their uses in WM.

Hello!
Storage type is a storage area and Storage Unit Type is strategies are used in the warehouse process for creating transfer orders.
A storage type is a storage area, warehouse facility, or a warehouse zone that you define in Warehouse Management (WM) for a warehouse number. This is a physical or logical subdivision of a warehouse complex that is characterized by its warehouse technique, the space used, its organizational form, or its function. A storage type generally contains several storage spaces or slots. These are called storage bins in Warehouse Management (WM).

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_470/helpdata/en/c6/f838f94afa11d182b90000e829fbfe/content.htm
Storage Unit Type is putaway strategy, the system processes different storage unit types (for example, pallets) and allocates them to the appropriate section. Often, one storage bin is divided into several smaller sections. Typically, only the same storage unit types can be placed into a storage bin at one time.

Difference between logical spool server and alternative printer

Hi All,
We are in the process of implementing load balancing among printers. As of now, they are printing as static printers. I want to know:
1) Is it necassary to define logical spool servers for printer load sharing or we by using printer load balancing and defining the alternative printer, we would be able to accomplish printer load sharing?
2) Also, even after going by the help manual, still not able to figure out the correct advantage of logical spool servers.
Thank You,
Antarpreet

Hi Antarpreet,
Logical spool server is at application server level while printer load balancing or what is known commonly as pool printing is something at print server level.
They are 2 different concepts.
If you mutiple application servers and each one of them has spool work processes then the best way of making sure that printing makes use of these work processes on load sharing basis is to create logical spool server. In a logical spool server you can define 2 application servers or 1 application server and another logical spool server. Then this logical spool server can assigned to all the printers. When you fire a print out dispatcher would look for which of servers in the logical spool server is free and direct printing to it.
In case of pool printing you create a printer pool again consisting of 2 physical printers or 1 physical printer and 1 pool printer. Here SAP is not responsible for load balancing but the actual print server is which will decide which printer in the pool is free and will direct the print out to it.
So logical spool server helps in load balancing at SAP application server level while pool printing does load balacing at physical printer level.

Alternative calculation type problem!

Hi, gurus~~~
Let me ask you something.
In pricing procedure, I want to change price in some case. so I made a alternative calculation type.
and it works.
but the problem is like this.
Alternative calculation type only works when there is standard price.
For example,
Step Cntr CTyp Fro To Reqt AltCTy AltCBV
420 0 ZS53 Price1 100 100 51 703 0
If there is price for Condition type 'ZS53', the Alt Calculation Type '703' works.
But if there is no price for condition type 'ZS53', the altCty '703' doesn't works.
I want to execute AltCTy '703' even though there is no price in condition type 'ZS53'.
Please, let me know how to do it...
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Kyung Woo.

Hi Kyung,
It seems the routine actually takes the price which is automatically determined and based on that it is redetermining the value. So please check how the routine is enabled first.
If you want to value to come even the automatic determination doesnt give any value, then make the change accordingly in teh routine.
otherwise, there is no other way by which this can happen.
Reward point if the approach helps.

What is the use of Alternative Calculation Type =2 and 4

Dear Friends
In pricing procedure in gross value, Net value for Item and Net value has Alternative calucation type is 2.
What is the use of it?
Without using it these value line are also fetching net value then what is the work of it. Please give me detail information with its effects in pricing condition tab page in sales document.
Thanking You
Arun

Arun biswal,
Correct Biswal. We have at varoius stages within Pricing procedure the "net value" which is calculated. Not only the alternative calculation type "2" is used if you notice carefully they are stored as subtotals at various levels.
For Ex Gross Value --> Subtotal =1 --> Calc type = 2
similarly for Net value for Item --> Subtotal =2 --> Calc type = 2
Net value 2 --> Subtotal =3 --> Calc type = 2
See, these are used to calculate the net value at various levels in pricing. The calculation Type has got a set of routines that will facilitate us in pricing. SAP has provided certain clauclated formulas or routines to facilitate us during calculation within pricing . Here the "2" is used for calculation without tax and store it as subtotal and display it or use it for further calculations.
We can use this "netvalue" amount for further calculations. It is used for clarity purpose when you issue a statement to customer. (like Confirmation order) at various levels like discount amt involved, Freight involved, Rebate amount invloved.....
Even without this Calc type or using sub total u can proceed....
Finally we have TOTAL --> Subtotal =A --> Calc type = 4
In the above line we have Calc type as 4, which means when you use TAX this calc type is used .
Routines are used to facilitate your process....

Differance betwwen alternative calculation type & condition base value.

dear expert
wats the differance betwwen alternative calculation type & condition base value in pricing.
vicky

Hi,
AltCty - Condition formula for alternative calculation type:
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.
AltCBV - Alternative formula for condition base value:
Formula for determining the condition basis as an alternative to the standard.
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.
And both of them are routines written by APABers in VOFM.

Alternative calculation type

Hi experts,
I have a question about alternative calculation type. I have a condition type with one assigned alternative calculation type. When I drill down to get the detailed code of this alter.cal. type at the detail screen of this condition type in the pricing procedure, the ABAP codes exist. However, this alter. cal. type is not maintained in the trans. VOFM formulas-->condition base value.
As this condition type does not work properly: the right value does not appear in its detail screen. Could this be the reason? Or in another word, can alternative cal. type only work properly when it is maintained in the VOFM trans., even if it exists in the system with status "active"?
Best regards,
Fan

Hi Yadav,
ja, codes in the alter. cal. type is okay. The condition type I have here has the calculation type: Formula. So should we check the formula instead of requirements pricing? Sorry, I did not give you the complete information about the condition type.
Best regards,
Fan

SAP SD ALternative Calculation type 80 & 81

Hi Friends,
Anyone would please elaborate alternative calculation type 80 & 81 in sap sd pricing of v/08?
Regards
Debasish

I have never came across the use of Requirement 80 / 81 / 82.
As they are Argentina.
For detail on there routine.
Use Tcode VOFM,
Select you desired routine, say, 80.
Then click on blue ( i ) information button for details on routine.
Even there you can find detail with purpose of the pricing routine.
Similarly, do it for 81 or 82.
FYI
||Routine - 80|LV61A080|Argentina - Check for goods of use|
||Routine - 81|LV61A081|Argentina - Check for Goods of use and for subjected|
||Routine 82|LV61A082|Argentina - Check for subjected|
