Advanced Price Lists

Advanced Price Lists - Need to know

You can preset a price list on a customer master. Subsequent transactions inherit and apply pricing to line items.

Advanced Price Lists enable you to specify:

• Price Lists for ‘trading partners’ i.e. Customers, Suppliers* or both

• Price Lists for any given Currency

• ‘Global’ price discounts i.e. 10% off every Item

• Global and Item specific quantity discounts

• Pricing formulas based upon Item, Classification, Customer, etc.

*You can apply a Price List to a Supplier’s Price List. You’d probably use this to manipulate supplier catalog prices.

Advanced Price Lists supersedes ‘Price Levels’, ‘Price Lists’ and the ‘Price Break’ Plugin. This legacy functionality will remain in the system until its users have transitioned to Advanced Price Lists.

Price List considerations

There are multiple considerations when you specify a Price List:

Where will it be applied? On Sales or Purchasing Documents, or both?

How will it be presented on Documents?

• the normal unit price is displayed as a reduced figure,

OR

• the discount value i.e. -10% is displayed in a column on the same row as the discounted Item.

Which parameters(s) trigger its application?

• Specific Item

• Specific Item Tag(s)

• Specific Item Class

• Specific Customer or Supplier

• Specific Customer or Supplier Class

• Qty of Items quoted or Ordered

• What calculation is applied?

For example,

10% off all Items for this Customer, 30% off if the quantity of this Item exceeds 1000.

What Currency are the Prices?

Pricing Table Automation

The Pricing table is intelligent. Based upon which combination of columns within which you select a value, other columns will be enabled/disabled to ensure the pricing rule is practical.

Pricing Table Behavior

Pricing Formula syntax

Formulae are always in square brackets. The formulae have a specific format to express:

• prices based upon cost i.e. [C+10%], cost plus ten percent

• prices based upon quantity price breaks i.e. [10-20:5%], buy ten or any number up to and including 20 then discount by 5%.

A series of price breaks would be annotated as follows:

[10-20:5%][21-30:10%][31-:15%]1

You can specify a discount on a single case i.e. [31-:15%] represents a 15% discount on a quantity greater than 31

A price can be specified in three ways:

• Absolute i.e. 34.03

• Percentage i.e. 20% of the base price

• Calculated from cost i.e. C+20% (cost plus 20cat%)
