SD Condition Record Functions Maximum Quantities

Use

If the condition update function is active for a particular condition type, you can create condition records that specify a maximum cumulative quantity. The system uses the condition base value of an item as the basis for the cumulative quantity. In most cases for the condition base, this involves a quantity. It is also possible to enter maximum quantities in weight and volume for a condition record.

You could, for example, specify that a customer receives a 10 USD discount for a particular material up to a maximum cumulative order quantity of 5,000 cases. As the customer places sales orders for the item, the system keeps track of the cumulative value (in this example, the number of cases) and stores this data at the condition record level. Once the cumulative value reaches 5,000 cases, the system automatically deactivates the discount.

Specifying the Maximum Quantity

You can specify the maximum quantity when you maintain an existing condition record. The calculation type of the respective condition type must be defined as quantity, weight, or volume dependent (otherwise the necessary field will not appear in the condition record). The condition update indicator must be maintained in Customizing for Sales for the corresponding condition types.

To specify the maximum quantity:

1. Choose Logistics
® Sales and Distribution ® Master data.

You reach the Sales Master Data screen.

2. Choose Conditions and select the condition record you want to work with.
3. Within the condition record, choose Additional sales data.
4. Enter the maximum quantity in the Maximum condition base value field.
5. Choose Back to return to the overview screen of the condition record or save your work.

Viewing Update Data in the Condition Record

To view the cumulative quantity (condition basis) for a particular condition record:

1. Within the condition record, choose Extras
® Cumulative values.

A dialog box displays the cumulative base value (in this case, the quantity) of sales orders where this condition record was used.

2. Within the dialog box, you can branch to the cumulative value of related billing documents or to a list of the latest sales orders. You can also branch to the individual sales orders.
