Hi,
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.
Once you assign the below Subtotals in MM Pricing, it will carry over the values to EKPO Table in relevant fields, you can use these fields for calculations, in routines and also in report developments.
1 Carry over value to KOMP-KZWI1
2 Carry over value to KOMP-KZWI2
3 Carry over value to KOMP-KZWI3
4 Carry over value to KOMP-KZWI4
5 Carry over value to KOMP-KZWI5
6 Carry over value to KOMP-KZWI6
For e.g. if you assign subtotal "D" (XWORKD) to one condition and "E" (XWORKE) to another and create a subtotal line in pricing and assign AltCty as 12 to this line then system will give value for this line as XWORKD - XWORKE.
For e.g.
In Calculation Schema;
ZCT1 = 10000 (Subtotal "D" - XWORKD)
ZCT2 = 9000 (Subtotal "E" - XWORKE)
Subtotal = 1000 (AltCty - 12)
You can check existing routines in VOFM and also create new.
