Creating condition groups
Condition Groups are in fact created the same way as addressee groups, the application of condition groups however clearly differs from the application of addressee groups. A condition group offers you the opportunity to combine several addressees in order to be able to assign custom-made condition pages On a conditions page is the calculation data for all calculation groups and condition schemes entered. The condition page "standard" should always be used for the base calculation. You can however, create more condition pages in order to implement special requirements. for these addressees.
Example
Some of your subsidiaries are in larger towns, under strong competitive pressure, and other subsidiaries are in a more rural area, under a more moderate competitive pressure. All subsidiaries should use the same suppliers, that you have distributed via a relevant addressee group
However, to reckon better with the special competitive situation in the big town subsidiaries, these branches should be assigned own condition pages, with calculations that are tailored to the special competitive situation.
The easiest way to accomplished this, is by arranging your subsidiaries in relevant calculation groups In a calculation group are arranged any quantity of items that have an item specific similarity. So typically all items, e.g. furniture parts, but also worktops, sinks, or electrical appliances, are consolidated into appropriate named calculation groups., and assigning the particular calculation group a special condition page.
After a condition group is created and addressees have been assigned, you can start the assignment of the condition pages to the individual condition groups on the Calculation groups index card Some dialogue windows are too voluminous, therefore the functions are separated into indexed groups. The subgroup names typically appear on the tab of the index card at the top of the dialogue and can be selected by clicking on the appropriate tab. in the catalogue master data Head data in CARAT is the generic term for all details that are needed for the design and ordering of a kitchen. This is for example, the selected program or variations in carcase versions, or worktop edge.. You can of course also assign the condition pages individually to each subsidiary, but by using condition groups assigning becomes significantly easier.
