Amalgamated pricing

Amalgamated pricing is a pricing option that you can use to provide quantity break pricing across multiple order lines. Quantity break pricing provides discounts based on the order totals of a particular item. Amalgamated pricing is used to group separate order lines with similar items to offer a quantity break price on items that are priced independently.

For example, an office supplier sells ball point pens in three colors: red, blue, and black. Each color is independently priced on a separate order line. The office supplier offers a 15% discount on pen purchases of 30 boxes or more. Normally, the customer must buy 30 boxes of one color to receive the discount. If the office supplier groups the pens as amalgamated, then the customer can purchase 10 boxes of blue, 10 boxes of red, and 10 boxes of black and still receive the discount. If you use amalgamated pricing, then order or invoice entry requires a special group pricing action code.
