When defining a condition type in SAP S/4HANA, several key controls determine its behavior. The Condition Class categorizes the condition (e.g., price, discount, tax). The Calculation Type specifies how the condition's value is determined (e.g., as a percentage, a fixed amount, or based on quantity). The Access Sequence is a search strategy assigned to the condition type, which directs the system on how to find valid condition records by checking a sequence of condition tables. These three settings are fundamental and are configured directly within the definition of the condition type.

B. Condition Table: A condition table defines a key combination but is assigned to an access sequence, not directly to the condition type itself.

C. Account Key: The account key, used for G/L account determination, is assigned to the condition type within the pricing procedure, not in the condition type's definition.

1. SAP S/4HANA Help Portal

"Condition Types": This official documentation details the core settings for a condition type. It explicitly lists "Condition Class

" "Calculation Type

" and "Access Sequence" as key attributes defined for a condition type. (Accessed under SAP S/4HANA -> Sales -> Basic Functions and Master Data in SD Processing (SD-BF) -> Pricing and Conditions (SD-BF-PR) -> Condition Technique: Main Elements -> Condition Types).

2. SAP S/4HANA Help Portal

"Pricing and Conditions": This guide explains the elements of the condition technique. In the section describing the definition of a condition type

it states

"You must also specify an access sequence in the definition of the condition type. This determines the sequence in which the system searches for a valid condition record." It also describes the role of the condition class and calculation type as primary controls. (Accessed under SAP S/4HANA -> Sales -> Sales -> Condition Technique -> Condition Types).

3. SAP S/4HANA Configuration Guide (IMG): The configuration path Sales and Distribution -> Basic Functions -> Pricing -> Pricing Control -> Define Condition Types (or the corresponding Fiori app 'Set Condition Types for Pricing in Sales') directly shows the fields for "Condition Class

" "Calculation Type

" and "Access Sequence" as part of the control data for a condition type. The "Account Key" is notably absent

as it is configured in the pricing procedure definition.
