Adding Adjustment Items

This section covers the Adjustment Items list, which allows you to create adjustment items one at a time. To use the Adjustment Item Generator, see The Process of Creating Attribute Pricing Tables with the Adjustment Item Generator.

If you are creating an attribute pricing table of the Single Attributes type, add an adjustment item for each attribute that can affect pricing.

If you are creating an attribute pricing table of the Multiple Attributes type, which attribute items you add depends on other options you have chosen. To decide which attribute items to add, see Decisions About Design of Multiple Attribute Pricing Tables.

NOTE: For a multiple-attributes pricing table, no two adjustment items can have the same set of attribute values. An error message appears if you try to create an adjustment item with the same attribute values as an existing adjustment item.

To create adjustment items using the Adjustment Items list

From the application-level menu, choose View > Site Map > Pricing Administration > Attribute Pricing.

In the Attribute Pricing list, select the attribute pricing table for which you want to create attribute pricing adjustment items.

Click the Adjustment Items view tab.

The Adjustment Items list appears, and it includes all the attributes that you added to the Attributes list.

Select the pricing attribute with which you want to work.

In the Items list (which is below the Adjustment Items list), click New.

Enter information in the new Items record, as described in Table 24.

Table 24. Items Fields
Field	Entry
Adjustment Type	Select the type of adjustment to be applied. The options are Discount Amount, % Discount, Markup Amount, and % Markup.
Adjustment Value	Enter the value of the adjustment. If you selected Discount Amount or Markup Amount in the Adjustment Type field, the price will be decreased or increased by the value you enter here. If you selected % Discount or % Markup in the Adjustment Type field, the value you enter here will be treated as a percentage: the price will be decreased or increased by the value divided by one hundred multiplied by the price.
Description	Optional. Enter a description of this adjustment item.

NOTE: If you checked the Allow Any option for an attribute when you added it to the Attributes list, you have the option of leaving the Attribute Item record blank, creating a null value wildcard. Do not do this unless you understand the consequences. For more information about the null value wildcard, see The Allow Any Option and Null Value Wildcards.
