The Process of Creating Attribute Pricing Tables with the Adjustment Item Generator

If you are working with a multiple-attribute pricing table, you can use the Adjustment Item Generator rather than adding each adjustment item individually to the Adjustment Item list. For information about whether you should use the Adjustment Item Generator, see Decisions About Design of Multiple Attribute Pricing Tables.

To define an attribute pricing table using the adjustment item generator, go through the following process:

Creating the Attribute Pricing Table Header. The header includes general information about the attribute pricing table. (This step is the same, whether or not you are using the Adjustment Item Generator.)

Selecting Attributes That Will Trigger Price Adjustments. When you created the header, you specified the class that the attribute pricing table applies to. Next, you must specify the attributes in the class that will trigger pricing adjustments. (This step is the same, whether or not you are using the Adjustment Item Generator.)

Generating Adjustment Items. The Adjustment Items Generator automatically creates an adjustment item record for every possible combination of the attributes that affect pricing.

Completing the Generated Adjustment Items. In each valid adjustment item that was generated, you must enter actual price adjustment type and price adjustment value.

Deleting Invalid Adjustment Items. If any of the generated adjustment items contains an invalid combination of items, you must delete it.

Attaching the Attribute Pricing Table to a Price List Line Item. After creating the attribute pricing table, you must apply it to a product in a price list. (This step is the same, whether or not you are using the Adjustment Item Generator.)

After creating an attribute pricing table, review and test it to make sure that it adjusts prices as expected. For example, make sure that there are not multiple rows that apply different price adjustments based on the same product attribute.

NOTE: The first two steps in this process are the same as the first two steps in The Process of Creating Attribute Pricing Tables. Follow the instructions for the first two tasks there before continuing with the remaining tasks.
