Reason and Prerequisites

Scale base formula 500 not implemented in CRM
Solution

For the condition type UTXD in R/3 with calculation formula 500, the scale base formula 500 is also implemented. The condition type UTXD is downloaded into CRM with the scale base formula 500. So, a dummy implementation of scale base formula 500 has to be done in CRM using the note 809820. A sample code for the dummy implementaion is given below.
package osisoft.pricing.scalebase;
import java.math.BigDecimal;
import com.sap.spe.pricing.transactiondata.userexit.IGroupConditionUserExit;
import com.sap.spe.pricing.transactiondata.userexit.IPricingConditionUserExit;
import com.sap.spe.pricing.transactiondata.userexit.IPricingItemUserExit;
import com.sap.spe.pricing.transactiondata.userexit.ScaleBaseFormulaAdapter;
public class Scalebase500 extends ScaleBaseFormulaAdapter {
public BigDecimal overwriteScaleBase(IPricingItemUserExit pricingItem, IPricingConditionUserExit pricingCondition,
IGroupConditionUserExit groupCondition ) {
return null;
}
}
