I found a very interesting question on SAP SD Pricing from SDN. I quoted it below.

"Requirement: Packing fee to be charged to customers on sales orders. The way the condition type is configured is % based. The problem is when the value of the order goes up as the calculation is % basis there is no limitation for the packing fee to be charged for the order i.e. 30 $ (Max. Limit). I need to come up with a work around where in if the calculated value based on % is higher than 30 Dollars then the value should be restricted to 30 $ not more than that. If the value is below 30 then no changes are expected.
If there are two line items system should distribute the 30$ across two line items under Packing fee condition type."

I extended this requirement by define below rules to determine the packing fee.

For example, the customer place a sales order valued $2000. Use above matrix, the packing fee is 100 * 2% + 900 * 1.5 % + 1000 * 1% = $25.5.
