Creating a Pricing Unit of Measure Preference

Access the Pricing Unit of Measure Revisions form.

You use the Pricing Unit of Measure preference to override the pricing unit of measure on the sales order. The system determines the pricing unit of measure for a sales order detail line based on the information on the Item Master Revisions form. The Sales Price Retrieval Unit of Measure field determines which units of measure are used to retrieve the lines price, but it is not used to supply default units of measure to the line. You can use this preference to assign a different pricing unit of measure for customer and item combinations based on the branch/plant.

The Pricing Unit of Measure preference also overrides the sales price based-on date in the system constants. The sales price based-on date determines how the price effective date in the Sales Order Header File and Sales Order Detail File tables will be updated.

You can use the Pricing Unit of Measure preference to determine the daily rental rate for a specific customer and container combination. This preference enables the system to calculate either a deposit rate or a rental rate for a container. If you create a unit of measure UDC for a rental rate per day in UDC table (00/UM), you can use this code in the Pricing Unit of Measure preference for a customer and container combination.

For example, you can set up an empty container with a deposit price of 30 USD. If customer 502 pays a rental fee for this container, you can set up a unit of measure UDC for a rental rate of 2.00 USD per day and enter this code in the Pricing Unit of Measure preference for this customer and container combination. The preference overrides the pricing unit of measure in the sales order for this customer. Customer 502 is charged 2.00 USD per day for the use of this container, while another customer is charged the usual deposit rate of 30 USD.

Pricing UoM (pricing unit of measure)

Enter a code from UDC table (00/UM) that indicates the unit of measure in which you usually price the item.

When you specify a unit of measure on the Pricing Unit of Measure preference form, the system fills or overrides the pricing unit of measure that is attached to the item through the item master for the customers and items to which this preference applies. If you leave this field blank on the Pricing Unit of Measure preference form, the system does not override the default value that is supplied by the item master.

The system applies this preference in order entry.
