Requirements and formulas

Routines for requirements and formulas are used for functions using the
condition technique
. You enter these routines in the pricing procedure
or the condition types
. Requirements are also usedfor statistics.o A requirement in pricing can determine that an access is dependent on a
particular precondition. Itcan carry out a check of the document currency, for example, and, depending on whether it is
aforeign or the local currency, allow or deny the access.o Formulas are used in pricing to define various factors for pricing.
Formulas are defined for 
scalebase value, condition base value
, condition amount, group key, and rounding rules. The formula for a rounding rule could define, for example, that all
calculated amounts are rounded to two placesbehind the decimal point during a price change of the condition record. The
formula for a conditionbase value could define, that the header discount is distributed among the order items according
tovolume an not value of the item, as is the case in the standard SAP R/3 System
