Creating a Relationship-Based Price Adjustment

Relationship-based price adjustments let you adjust the price of a product when it is a component of a product with components. For example, you may sell a model of computer monitor for $300 if the customer buys only the monitor. However, if the customer who is buying one of your desktop computers chooses this monitor model as an option, you may reduce its price 10 percent from this list price, or you may sell it for $250.

To create the relationship-based price adjustment, use the Adjustment Type and Adjustment Amount fields for the component.

To define a relationship-based pricing adjustment

1. Display the components of the product with components in the Pricing Designer, as described in Viewing a Product's Components in the Pricing Designer.
2. Select the records for any components that require a relationship-based pricing adjustment, add a new record to the Adjustments applet, and enter the values for the fields as described in the following table.

   Field	Comments
   Adjustment Type	Select the type of price adjustment applied to this product. Options are Discount Amount, % Discount, Markup Amount, % Markup, and Price Override.
   Adjustment Value	Enter the value of the Adjustment. How this value is used depends on the selection in the Adjustment Type field: Discount amount. The adjustment value is subtracted from the price. % discount. The adjustment value is treated as a percentage, and that percentage of the price is subtracted from the price. Markup amount. The adjustment value is added to the price. % markup. The adjustment value is treated as a percentage, and that percentage of the price is added to the price. Price override. The adjustment value is used as the price, overriding the original price.
   Min Price	Enter the minimum price for this product as a component of this customizable product. This may be different from the minimum price of the product when it is purchased separately.
   Max Price	Enter the maximum price for this product as a component of this customizable product. This may be different from the maximum price of the product when it is purchased separately.
   Start Date	Enter the date when this adjustment becomes effective.
   End Date	Enter the date after which this adjustment is no longer effective.

3. Click Verify Adjustments to verify that the component's Reference Price reflects the pricing adjustment.

NOTE:  You can modify the relationship-based adjustment by editing the amounts in the Adjustment Type and Adjustment Value fields for the records in the Adjustments applet, and you can delete the relationship-based adjustment by deleting the records in the Adjustments applet.
