How To Define Condition Types

Defining of condition types can be done in few simple steps.

Step 1) In the IMG, click on the define condition types option.

Step 2) Choose Define Condition Type option.

Step 3) You can find all of the existing entries for condition types.

1. Click on the desired condition you would like to change.
2. Click this icon to choose the selected condition and enter the change mode.
3. If you want to create a new entry click on New entries. In this case, you don’t have to select any existing entries.
4. If you want to create a new condition type by copying an existing condition type (it will inherit it’s setting which you can change – just like copying a condition table in the previous topic), you can choose this icon – copy condition type.

   You have several more actions at your disposal: deletion, selecting all condition types, deselecting all condition types.

If you select multiple condition types, you can edit them all by navigating through them in the following screen (arrow left and right or F7 and F8).

This screen has a lot of settings for a condition type, let’s review the most important.

Step 4) First section of the screen contains condition type PB00, description, and access sequence used for condition determination.

   B) Group condition section:

1. Group condition (indicates if a condition calculates its value by more than one item in the document)
2. RoundDiffComp (rounding difference comparison)

Step 5) The other section on the lower end of the same screen are:

2. Check value (default blank)
3. Scale type (controls the validity of the value/quantity)

   F) Control data 2 section:

1. Currency Conv. (indicates if currency conversion is allowed)
2. Accruals (if you check this box you indicate that it is a statistical condition)
3. Promotion condition (is this condition relevant only for promotions)
4. Quantity conversion (controls how quantity conversion will be processed)
5. Exclusion (condition exclusion indicator – e.g. gross price, tax code, delivery cost)
6. Rel.Acc.Assig (determines if the condition type is relevant for account assignment)

When you are done with creating, changing or copying of the condition type, you can save your changes.
