Introduction
Requirement Routine functionality in SAP can be used to check a particular condition and do a certain
task; only if that condition is satisfied. Condition has to be created as a requirement routine in
transaction VOFM and it has to be assigned in the configuration against the relevant task.
Eg: Apply a certain price condition type; only is the sales document type equals to ZSOR
This is very useful in areas such as, Pricing, Outputs, Copy controls, etc.
This document will give an overview on creating new requirement routines in the transaction VOFM.
