Condition Technique refer to the method by which the system

determines output/pricing from information stored in condition

records. In SD, the various elements used in the condition

technique are set up and controlled in Customizing.

The components of condition technique are:

o Condition TablesA condition Table consists of one or more condition keys and adata part. The condition keys can be selected according to the

data combination for which a message is to be found. The key

fields come from the field catalog.

o Output Types:It represents different outputs such as Order Confirmation,

delivery notes and etc..

Assign it to the access sequence.

Provide a description

Detailed data Output Type, Time, Partner Function, Condition

Do not change the existing types copy them and change instead.

o Access Sequences:Is the search strategy which the system would use to search for

condition records valid for a condition type.

Has to be a four digit alphanumeric name which is unique.

A short description.

Detailed data Sequential number, table (condition table)

Do not change any standard sequence, copy and change instead.

Exclusive Flag controls whether the system stops searching for

a record after the first successful access for a condition type

within an access sequence.

o ProceduresIt defines the Condition Types and the Sequence that it should be

processed.

Procedures Contd..

Step - Number that determines the sequence of the conditionswithin a procedure. Counter Access number of the conditions

within a step. During automatic pricing the system takes into

account the sequence specified by the counter.


21/44


Procedures Contd..

There is some more flexibility to Control the Output Types from

VOFM Routines. For instance, we dont want to issue a PO

acknowledgement unless the delivery block is unblocked in a Sales

Order.
