Price Matrix

Note

The sequence number for the price matrix, which is automatically incremented by one each time you specify the relevant price matrix.

Description

The description of the price matrix.

Effective Date

The first date and time as from which the price matrix is valid. The default effective date is equal to the system date.

Expiry Date

The last date the price matrix is valid. If this field is not filled, the discount matrix is infinitely valid.

Price Book

An entity in which you can store price information that is valid for a given period of time.

A price book includes the following elements:

  • A price book header, which contains the code, type, and use of the price book.
  • One or more price book lines, which contain the items.

A quantity or value break discount schedule can be linked to a price book.

PriceFactor

A price factor is used to increase or decrease the price book's base price to calculate the unit price. The value specified for the price factor must be positive.

For example, a price factor for a 10% increase is 1.10 and a for a 15% decrease is 0.85.

Item

In LN, the raw materials, subassemblies, finished products, and tools that can be purchased, stored, manufactured, sold, and so on.

An item can also represent a set of items handled as one kit, or exist in multiple product variants.

You can also define nonphysical items, which are not held in inventory but can be used to post costs or to invoice services to customers. The following are examples of nonphysical items:

  • Cost items (for example, electricity)
  • Service items
  • Subcontracting services
  • List items (menus/options)
Sold-to BP

Usually a customer's purchase department, the business partner who orders goods or services from your organization, that owns the configurations you maintain, or for whom you perform a project.

The agreement with the sold-to business partner can include the following:

  • Default price and discount agreements
  • Sales order defaults
  • Delivery terms
  • The related ship-to and invoice-to business partner
Ship-to BP

The business partner to which you ship the ordered goods. This usually represents a customer's distribution center or warehouse. The definition includes the default warehouse from which you send the goods, the carrier who carries out the transport, and the related sold-to business partner.

Invoice-to BP

The business partner to which you send invoices. This usually represents a customer's accounts payable department. The definition includes the default currency and exchange rate, invoicing method and frequency, information about the customer's credit limit, the terms and method of payment, and the related pay-by business partner.

Pricing BP

The parent business partner used to classify a group of suppliers or vendors with the same prices or pricing agreements.

Order Origin

The source of the information on which an order is based, such as LN sessions, or user defined sources such as phone, mail, and so on.

Order Type

A code used to determine the character or function of an order and, consequently, of the message.

Examples:

  • Normal order versus return order
  • Invoice versus credit note

The classification that determines which sessions (in which sequence) are part of the order procedure. You can also assign one of the following categories to the order type: cost order, collect order, return order, and subcontracting order.

Order type codes are required in the ERP EDI messages that relate to a single order. EDI messages that relate to single orders include messages that process:

  • Orders (ANSI X12 850, UN/EDIFACT ORDERS).
  • Order changes (ANSI X12 860, UN/EDIFACT ORDCHG).

Sales Office

A department that is identified in the company business model to manage the business partner's sales relations. The sales office is used to identify the locations that are responsible for the organization's sales activities.

Price List

List of default prices and discounts for customers and suppliers. You can link price lists to items and item groups, and to sold-to and buy-from business partners.

Payment Method

The way in which the payment (purchase invoice) or the direct debit (sales invoice) takes place. The payment method defines details such as, the maximum amount, the type of due date, if foreign currencies are allowed, and which details must be printed on the report.

These details are default values that you can change on the order or invoice as necessary.

Delivery Terms

The agreements with the business partner, concerning the way the goods are delivered. Relevant information is printed on various order documents.

BP Channel

A sales or distribution channel used to assign goods to customer groups.

You can link channels to sold-to business partners and to items. Channels can be used in connection with available-to-promise (ATP).

You can assign a certain ATP volume to a channel. This volume limits the ATP for that channel to a maximum.

User-definable item grouping data that is used as a sorting and selecting criterion. The product type is intended for classifying items with similar characteristics for production purposes.

Determining

If this check box is selected, the quantity and value from the order line is taken into account when the total order value is calculated. The total order value determines whether an order discount can be applied to an order.
