Adjust Price for Pricing Rules

Use tier pricing or a pricing matrix to adjust the price that a pricing rule calculates.

Assume you set up a price list that includes a desktop computer and you set its base price to $2,000.

You can use tier pricing and a pricing matrix to adjust the price:

Note

1. 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.

2. 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.

If Computer Service and Rentals orders 10 computers, then the rule does this calculation:

Description	Calculation
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.

You can add an adjustment on these lists:

List	Tier Pricing	Pricing Matrix
Price list	yes	yes
Cost list	yes	no
Currency conversion list	no	yes
Shipping charge list	no	yes
