The material for which the info record is to be created or changed is configurable.

Procedure

A box containing the condition types defined for the variant key appears.

8. Choose the desired condition type and specify the period during which the discounts and surcharges are to apply.
9. Enter the amount and save.

Result

The next time the material is needed in a sales order (i.e. the configurable material is either reconfigured in such a way that a characteristic value is reached or it is already so configured), a requisition is generated for it and converted into a purchase order, the system applies the variant conditions when determining the purchase order price.
