The pricing engine is used to create flexible, multi-level pricing structures to manage a wide variety of price rules and methods. To facilitate this, a customer is linked to a price group which contains price rules. Price rules may refer to price lists or other configurations like invoice discounts or order discount breaks. Price lists can be created for stock codes, product classes, departments and price categories.
A stock code can exist on multiple price lists, which can have different price methods defined (e.g. flat price, price less %, etc.). In addition, multiple price lists can be linked to one price group, where each price list functions as a price rule.
The pricing method determines what price the system must use for a sales order line as well as the discounts applicable to the sales order lines and total merchandise value.
The pricing method for Contract Pricing is defined at company level (Setup Options > Configuration > Distribution > Sales Orders) and against stock items using the Stock Code Maintenance program.
To use the Sales Pricing Engine, your Pricing method must be defined as Price groups at company level (Setup Options > Configuration > Distribution > Sales Orders) and the pricing method must be specified against price lists using the Price List Maintenance program (not against stock items).
Price groups are used to assign prices and discounts to commercial entities (e.g. customers, geographic areas or branches).
Price groups can have multiple price rules, which are linked to price lists.
The price group level establishes which price groups must be applied for the company.
For example:
If price groups exist for both the customer and geographic area, then this setting determines which price group takes precedence.
This indicates a listing that comprises of a grouping of stock codes, product classes, departments or price categories. A price method is specified for each price list, which may be a flat price, discounted price, or quantity discounted price.
This indicates the lowest sales price available to the customer.
