Enterprise Pricer Overview

Enterprise Pricer enables real-time dynamic pricing for quotes, orders and RMAs based on company pricing policies. You can define rules that determine what discounts, surcharges, or product adds apply under specific order conditions, such as products ordered, customer, customer region, and so on. The functionality is designed for pricing and marketing managers and includes the capability for development, testing, deployment, and maintenance of price lists, rules, and arbitration plans. Enterprise Pricer consists of these pricing elements that you use to create a pricing structure:

  • Price lists.

    These enable you to select products and conditions where the price list applies to a transaction. During a transaction, the system determines the product price based on either a predefined search hierarchy for the transaction or the product's lowest price on any associated active price lists.

    See Understanding Price Lists.

  • Price rules.

    These define the conditions under which the adjustments (formulas) are applied to the base price. Multiple rules can apply when conditions of each rule are met. In addition, if a price rule contains multiple formulas, more than one price rule can apply during arbitration if the order line or order match the price rule formula requirements.

    See Understanding Price Rules.

  • Arbitration plans.

    The arbitration plan filters and sort the matching price rules to further determine which price rules are applied and in what order.

    See Understanding Arbitration Plans.

  • Pricing simulator.

    This enables you to test most pricing scenarios to determine whether the pricing adjustments create the desired results.

    See Understanding the Pricing Simulator.

Term

Definition

Business Unit

An identification code that represents a high-level organization of business information. You can use a business unit to define regional or departmental units within a larger organization.

Effective Date

Date on which a table row becomes effective; the date that an action begins. For example, if you want to close out a ledger on June 30, the effective date for the ledger closing is July 1. This date also determines when you can view and change the information. Pages or panels and batch processes that use the information use the current row.

EmplID (employee ID)

Unique identification code for an individual associated with the organization.

Language or Language Code

The language in which you want the field labels and report headings of reports to print. The field values appear as you enter them.

Language also refers to the language spoken by an employee, applicant, or non-employee.

Process Frequency

Designates the appropriate frequency in the Process Frequency group box:

Once runs the request the next time that the batch process runs. After the batch process runs, the process frequency is automatically set to Don't Run.

Always runs the request every time that the batch process runs. Don't Run ignores the request when the batch process runs.
