The net purchase price is calculated as follows:
Discount 1: 100 - (100 * (10/100)) = 90
Discount 2: 90 - 10                = 80
Discount 3: 80 - (-10)             = 90
Discount 4: 90 - (90 * (20/100))   = 72

Net purchase/sales price = 72

Matrix Definition
Defines the group of elements (matrix attributes) that a Pricing matrix uses to determine a price, discount, promotion, or freight rate.

Imagine you are a furniture vendor and you decide to maintain your sales prices based on two elements:

  • The specific item you sell.
  • The way to handle payments.

In this case, the matrix type is Sales Price, the matrix definition is Furni (this name is user-definable), and the matrix attributes are Item and Payment Method.
