Description

Calc Type (calculation type)

For each adjustment rule, select one type of method by which to calculate adjustments. Choose from:

Increment Adjustments: Each valid adjustment is made against the current (base or adjusted) price. For example, if you have a base price of 100 and two percentage adjustments of –10 percent each, then the first adjustment is deducted from the base price of 100, for a current adjusted price of 90. The second adjustment of –10 percent is deducted from 90 for a final adjustment price of 81.

Sum All Adjustments: Adjustments are summed and made against the original base price. For example, if you have a base price of 100 and two percentage adjustments of –10 percent each, the system takes the total adjustment of –20 and deducts it from the base price of 100 for a final adjusted price of 80.

Seq (sequence)

Enter the sequence number for each rule. Price adjustment rules are applied in ascending order.

Dflt UOM (default unit of measure)

Select to use the default UOM for the item established on the supplier's UOM and Pricing Information page. The system makes a default UOM adjustment when the UOM on the transaction is the same as the supplier default UOM or when the UOM on the transaction is not established for the item-supplier combination.

UOM Match (unit of measure match)

Select to define an adjustment rule based on a specific UOM established for the item-supplier combination.

UOM (unit of measure)

If you selected the UOM Match check box, select the UOM that you want to use for adjustments. The item-supplier UOMs must first be established on the supplier's UOM and Pricing Information page.

Match Ship

Select to define an adjustment rule based on a specific ship to location code (SetID/ship to) established for the item-supplier combination.

SetID, Ship To

Select the values if you selected the Match Ship check box.

Hard

Select to indicate a hard price adjustment. This is an adjustment that the system uses to the exclusion of all other adjustments, even those with earlier sequence numbers.

Stop Price

Select to indicate a final price adjustment. No further adjustments can be made after the system applies this adjustment.

Ignore Flg (ignore flag)

Select to create a price adjustment scenario in which this price adjustment is ignored if the order qualifies for another adjustment. If no other adjustment applies, this adjustment applies even if the Ignore Flg check box is selected.

Suppose that you have the following price adjustment conditions for an item:

Apply a hard 10 percent discount if the UOM matches.

Apply a 100 USD discount, but ignore this if another adjustment applies. The Ignore Flg is selected for this adjustment.

If you order the item in the matching UOM, the 10 percent discount is applied and the 100 USD discount is ignored, according to the selected Ignore Flg option.

If you order the item in a nonmatching UOM, you qualify only for the 100 USD discount. Because this is the only adjustment that applies, the adjustment can be applied.

Use the Price Adjustment Details page (PRICE_ADJUST_DTLS) to define the quantities and adjustment methods for each of the price adjustment rules.
