Purpose: Use the Assign Price Codes function to assign price breaks (defined with Working with Price Codes (WPCD)) to items by source code or offer.
You can assign one or more price codes to each item/source code and item/offer combination, and you can assign the same price codes to a group of items. Typically, you might assign the same price code or sequence of price codes to items that appear together in a catalog. In Order Entry, the system reprices items eligible for price codes repricing when you select Reprice at the Order Detail screen.
Reviewing price code assignments: Use Display Price Code Assignments (DPCA) to review the items/SKUs assigned to a price code by either offer or source code and the requirements that must be met for an order to be eligible for the price code.

Field |
Description |
Item |
A code representing a unit of inventory that you sell. Item codes are defined in and validated against the Item table. Alphanumeric, 12 positions; required. |
SKU (Unlabeled field(s) to the right of the item field) |
The item's unique characteristics, such as its color or size. Alphanumeric, three 4-position fields; optional. |
Offer |
A catalog, advertisement, or other means you use to present merchandise to your customers. The price code defined for an item/offer combination applies to orders whose header-level source code points to the offer. Offers are defined in and validated against the Offer table. See Working with Offers (WOFR). Alphanumeric, 3 positions; required if you do not enter a source code. |
Source |
A code you use to group a segment of your customers. The price code defined for this item/source code combination applies to orders with this source code on the order header. Source codes are defined in and validated against the Source Code table. See Working with Source Codes (WSRC). Alphanumeric, 9 positions; required if you do not enter an offer |
Note: You have the option of assigning a price code to an item by either offer or source code. If you assign price codes to an item by both methods, the price codes assigned by source code take precedence.
To enter an item and offer or source code to be assigned price codes, complete the Item field, the SKU information if desired, and either the Offer or Source code field.
You advance to the Work with Price Codes for Offer Screen if you entered an offer code, or the Work with Price Codes for Source if you entered a source code.
Work with Price Codes for Offer Screen
Purpose: You can work with price codes for offer or source in either Add mode or Change mode. When you advance to this screen to first assign price codes to an item, it is in Add mode; see Changing Price Code Assignments for a discussion of Change mode.
How to display this screen: You advance to either the Work with Price Codes for Offer or Work with Price Codes for Source screen when you select OK at the Assign Price Codes Screen. You can also switch to Add Mode from Change mode on either screen by selecting Add Price Codes.
Price code: Enter as many price codes as apply to this item/offer or item/source combination. The price code is a three-position, numeric field. The system validates your entries against the Price Code table.
See Assign Price Codes Screen for the remaining fields on this screen.

Changing Price Code Assignments
Purpose: Use the Work with Price Codes for Source screen or this screen in Change mode to review or delete price codes that have been assigned to an item/offer or item/source combination. The Work with Price Codes for Offer Screen in Change mode is identical, except that the source code displays instead of the offer. Each field on this screen is described under Assign Price Codes Screen or Work with Price Codes for Offer Screen.
How to display this screen: You advance to these screens from the Assign Price Codes Screen when you enter an item/offer or item/source combination that already has price codes assigned to it, or from the Work with Price Codes for Offer or Work with Price Codes for Offer Screen in Add mode when
• you enter one or more price codes, or
• select Change.
To delete: Select Delete for a price code to delete it.
Note: No message displays when you select Delete; the system simply removes the price code.
