Defining 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, then 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.
