conditions into account .Header conditions are entered manually in order processing . The SAP
system allow condition types below:
Percent discount (HA00)
Absolute discount (HB00)

Order value (HM00)

These are can only use header condition but there are some condition types which can be used
both at header and item level . This includes

Percent from gross (RA01)

Absolute discount (RB00)
Weight discount (RD00)
