Documentation
Definition
Specifies, in conjunction with a differentiation value, the business transactions for which a condition is to be used.
Use
If you do not specify a calculation base reference for the calculation of a condition, you must specify at least one differentiation category. If you do specify a calculation base reference for the calculation of acondition, you can also specify differentiation categories that restrict the use of the condition to specific cases.
You can assign the same differentiation category many times to a condition type.
Dependencies
- You must select the differentiation values when you create condition groups in Account Management under Current Settings -> Financial Conditions -> Condition Groups -> Edit Condition Groups.
- You define the differentiation values in various IMG activities, for example under Item Management -> Counters.
Example
If you want to assign different conditions to different payment transactions (for, example, bank transfers or cash deposits), you must create a condition type with the differentiation category item counter. If you assign a differentiation value (for example, bank transfers), the condition is only used if bank transfers are made in the settlement period. The settlement amount is calculated by multiplying the condition by the number of bank transfers.
If you want to differentiate bank transfers according to their origin (for example, internet or presentation at counter), you can also set a differentiation category for the medium. If you then set the differentiation value internet in the condition for this differentiation category, the condition is only used for bank transfers that were entered online.
Note
- Attributes of the business partner do not apply for the differentiation.
- You can assign up to five differentiation categories per condition type.
