Understanding Configured Item Pricing on a Sales Order
The first step in pricing configured items is to set the Kit/Configurator Pricing Method field on the Item Master Revisions form. The kit/configurator pricing method is used to specify how the system determines the sales price of a kit or configured item. The price method code determines whether to price components or parent items.
This table describes the types of method codes that are used:
Method |
Description |
|---|---|
Kit/Configurator Pricing Method 1 |
The system totals the list prices of components to determine the price of the configured item. All of the component prices from the Item Base Price File table (F4106) are added to calculate the configured item price. The price of the configured item can then be discounted. The system also checks for any X assembly inclusion rules. Any existing X rules are added to the price of the configured item. The X rules could be used for price add-ons, such as shipping or freight charges. |
Kit/Configurator Pricing Method 2 |
The system retrieves the price of the configured item from table F4106. This price is the price of the configured item on the sales order and cannot be discounted. The system also checks for any X assembly inclusion rules. Any existing X rules are added to the price of the configured item. The X rules could be used for price add-ons, such as shipping or freight charges. |
Kit/Configurator Pricing Method 3 |
The X assembly inclusion rules are the only source of pricing for the configured item. You can pull the base price into the configuration by using the Derived Calculation field in the assembly inclusion rule. The Derived Calculation field should be populated with & BPUPRC to pull in the base price from the F4106 table. Any other X rules are added to the price of the configured item. These X rules could be used for price add-ons, such as shipping or freight charges. |
Kit/Configurator Pricing Method 4 |
The system uses the sum of the components' discounted prices for the price of the configured item. The parent has no discount. Thus, the configured item gets no further discounts. The system also checks for any X assembly inclusion rules. Any existing X rules are added to the price of the configured item. The X rules could be used for price add-ons, such as shipping or freight charges. |
After you define the Kit/Configurator Pricing Method on the Item Master Revisions form, you must define base prices for the components and the configured item in the F4106 table. The system uses the base price to price the item. If you define special pricing or discounts for the item, the system bases the calculation of the discounted price on the base price.
Use base pricing to define prices for:
An item or group of items.
A specific time period.
Different units of measure.
Different currencies.
Use pricing groups to group items or customers with similar characteristics. This method streamlines the processes of entering and maintaining base prices.
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Advanced Pricing can also be used with any price method code. JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Advanced Pricing supports placing a new line item on the sales order, such as a line item for free goods.
You can use price adjustment, or X assembly inclusion rules, to affect the price for the configured item, regardless of the price method that you selected. X rules work with base and advanced pricing as well.
