2.2 The next step is to assign the Condition Types to Origin Groups. Please note that you must assign all Conditions you are using, in this case, FVA1and PPR0. Also, you must assign for all Valuation Variants you may need. Origin group for the gross price condition type PPR0 can be left initial.

2.3 Assign Cost Elements to Cost Components. For that, there is the possibility for general assignment to Cost Component Group, using SSCUI/Configuration Activity "Define Cost Component Structure". In the following example, all Condition Types assigned to Origin Group YFC are assigned to Cost Component Group 104:
