Hi
Condition Exclusion Groups
In pricing procedure it is quite common that to have common condition types Ex: Different types of discounts. If
we include these discounts in pricing procedure, then customer will receive all the discounts. So that the total
discount value became higher than the actual price. So consequently business incurs loss. So as to avoid this kind
of situation we can use the option that is condition exclusion groups by which we can offer best condition among
the condition types to the customer.
