This sounds like scale pricing from the vendor - have you looked into this on IT_Toolbox or Google?
The text below is from a Google search on the subject in SAP Help
Use
In the item details of contracts and bids, you can create various conditions. You can also create conditions at header level, however, these can only be discounts or surcharges.
These master conditions are used by Pricing in SAP Enterprise Buyer to determine a gross price.
Contract
The system takes released contracts into account during sourcing (for example in a purchase order) and determines prices according to the ordered quantity.
Bid
During creation of a contract from a bid that was accepted, the system transfers the master conditions to the contract exactly as they were entered by the vendor. The conditions are then available for sourcing. During creation of a purchase order from an accepted bid, the system determines the net price using price determination in accordance with the existing master conditions.
Prerequisites
The Customizing settings for Pricing must be set correctly, especially for condition types and condition groups. These include:
Defining which condition types you are using for
Products/product linkages
Normal items in purchase contracts
Product category items in purchase contracts
Bids from bidders
Defining the references for scale types in the condition type (quantity or gross value). If you wish to use value scales, you have changed a discount condition type accordingly or used it as a template for a separate value scale condition type.
Defining in the calculation schema how the system is to behave if you create a discount or a surcharge as a condition at header and item level.
Features
Check Report for Customizing
You can check if the conditions Customizing is complete.
See the path in the IMG: SRM Server ? Cross-Application Basic Settings ? Pricing ? Check Technical and Customizing Settings for Conditions
Display Conditions
You can display the existing conditions in a conditions overview.
Adding, Changing and Deleting Conditions
Within the validity limits of the contract or bid, you can create and process the following condition types with and without location reference:
A price (contract and bid)
A percentage discount
An absolute discount
Price (contract/bid) dependent on location
Discount (percentage) dependent on location
Discount (absolute) dependent on location
If you have defined your own condition types in Customizing, for example, an anniversary discount, you can use these also for creating conditions.
If a unique price exists, you can change the price in the item overview and in the item details (basic data). The price is unique if exactly one price exists without scales and without any discount for the validity period of the price.
For existing conditions, you can change the amount, the price unit, (quantity) unit and validity period.
For the condition types, you may not set any overlapping validity periods. If the conditions overview for validity period January 1st 200X to June 30th 200X, for example, already contains a percentage discount, you cannot add a percentage discount as a condition for this period (or a period contained within this period).
Restricting Location Reference Globally (contract only)
For contract items, you can define that they are only authorized for release for specific locations. If this is the case, you can assign location-dependent conditions exclusively to these locations.
Quantity or Value Scales
The condition types delivered have a scaling facility. You can branch to a subscreen for scales, define quantity or value areas there (in a from-scale, for example) and you can define a different amount per price unit.
The system proposes the first scale line based on existing conditions data. In the other scale lines, you can further differentiate the condition based on prices or quantities. For improved clarity, the system corrects the quantities or values to the previous scale interval.
Product A has a (contract and bid) price of 100 Euro per unit. You define the following scale: From a quantity of 20 units, the price is 95 Euro. Enterprise Buyer supplements a scale line with quantity area 0 to 19 for the amount 100 Euro.
For each contract release order of more than 20 units, the system uses the scale price of 95 Euro.
At delivery, the scale type From-Scale is set up. You can change this to To-scale via the following path in the Implementation Guide (IMG): Enterprise Buyer ? Application-Specific Basic Settings ? Pricing ? Process Condition Types. Note that you cannot change the scale type set in Customizing once you have created scales of this type.
Refresh
After you have added or changed a condition or scale, you can recalculate the values in the lines of the conditions overview.
Clipboard for Conditions
If you wish to create multiple condition lines (for example, identical conditions for different locations), you can reduce the amount of entries required by using a cross-item clipboard. You can use a condition as a template, store the values (all except the location) in the clipboard, and transfer them from the clipboard to all the new conditions.
Activities
Proceed as follows to create further conditions (like discounts) as purchaser in a contract that already contains a price or to add conditions as bidder to a bid.
1. 1. Purchaser: To process conditions in the contract, select Change and choose the Item Data tab.
Bidder: To process conditions in the bid, open the Item Overview.
2. 2. Choose (Conditions) in the Item Overview under Actions.
The system displays the existing conditions for the item in change mode.
You can also display the conditions via the item details and the Conditions tab.
3. 3. In the Condition column, choose a condition type using the uppermost input help, for example, discount (percentage). The system opens a condition line that is ready for input.
4. 4. You assign the location to a location-dependent condition immediately.
5. 5. Enter a discount amount and change the validity period of the condition if necessary.
6. 6. To create a scale for the discount, choose (Create Scale). The system opens condition lines for the condition.
Using Delete Scale, you can remove the scale again if you wish.
7. 7. Create scale intervals
1. a) for quantity scales with an amount per quantity interval
2. b) for value scales with an amount per value interval.
To create new condition lines using an existing an existing condition as a template, use the clipboard. Note that this is cross-item.
1. ? If, in contract item 1, you have already added condition lines to the clipboard, then these are also available in contract item 2. If you no longer require values that you have added to the clipboard, then choose Delete Clipboard.
2. ? Under Actions, choose Copy to Clipboard and then Copy from Clipboard to copy the contents into the conditions.
8. 8. Choose Recalculate. The system updates the values in the conditions overview.
9. 9. To remove conditions from the conditions overview, choose (Delete).

Subject: PO with minimum frt to be paid
We have a vendor that wants to be paid for anything less than 25 tons at the 25 ton amount. If greater then it should pay based on the actual price per ton of weight. If the load is less it should still pay 25 tons. Can this be done thru PO conditions? We are using ERS on this vendor thru ECC 6.0 |
