Pricing: Provide override for mandatory condition

Question

Dear All.
We have a mandatory condition in our pricing procedure.  And we would like it to be Mandatory some 99% of the time.
However, in rare cases with approval we would like it to not be mandatory for a specific sales order.  Probably based on manager approval.
Has anyone done anything like this?
Any ideas?
The field comes from T683s-kobli.
Not sure if there's any standard configuration that would let us do this?
But possibly we could use a pricing requirement or other?  Or user exit?
A manager could  add some value to the sales order that we could key off of, and check which would allow the mandatory check to be skipped?  
Thoughts?
Many Thanks.

You need to identify one field in the sales transaction which will not consider the Condition to be Mandatory in that particular business scenario. Let say you create a Price Group (Manager override - 03). In this particular business scenario the Manager will give the price group as 03 i.e. Manager Override @ the Header Level. This price group will ensure not to trigger that particular condition type. Create a requirement routine & assign it in the pricing procedure for that mandatory condition type.
Try this pseudocode in the requirement routine:
sy-subrc = 4.
  if komp-kposn ne 0.
    check: komk-konda ne '03'. (*Create a price group 03 as mentioned above)
    endif.
  sy-subrc = 0.
