Answer 1

<b>Requirement:</b>
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.
<b>AltCty - Condition formula for alternative calculation type:</b>
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.
<b>AltCBV - Alternative formula for condition base value:</b>
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.
