Adjust Price for Pricing Rules
Use tier pricing or a pricing matrix to adjust the price that a pricing rule calculates.
Assume you define a price list that includes a desktop computer and you set the base price for the item to $2,000.
Here's how you can use tier pricing and a pricing matrix to adjust the price.
Note
-
Tier pricing. Adjust a pricing rule according to quantity or monetary value. For example:
-
If the quantity on the sales order is 10 to 19, then reduce the price for each unit by $200.
-
If the quantity on the sales order is 20 or more, then reduce the price for each unit by $400.
-
-
Pricing matrix. Adjust a pricing rule according to the value of an attribute. For example:
-
If the customer on the sales order is Computer Service and Rentals, then reduce the total price by $50.
-
If the customer on the sales order is Computers Direct to U, then reduce the total price by $25.
-
Here's the calculation that the rule does if Computer Service and Rentals orders 10 computers.

Base price for each item before tier discount |
$2,000. |
Tier |
The quantity of 10 places the sales order in tier 1. |
Tier adjustment |
$200 discount for each unit. |
Price for each unit after tier adjustment |
$2,000 base price minus $200 discount equals $1,800. |
Price for all units after tier adjustment |
10 unit multiplied by $1,800 equals $18,000. |
Adjustment in pricing matrix |
$50 discount off total price. |
Price after tier adjustment and matrix adjustment |
$18,000 minus $50 equals $17,950. |
Here are the lists where you can add an adjustment.
