| | Global Update of Freight Prices via Price Matrices (tdpcg0230m340)Use this session to update freight prices in
freight rate matrices. To update prices, proceed as follows: - Select a Matrix Definition and Matrix Type to update prices that are linked to
freight rate matrices that use the selected Matrix Definition and Matrix Type.
- Specify your selection range on the General tab of this session. Specifying ranges will
narrow down the selection of freight rate matrices selected in the previous
step.
- Specify the selection range for matrix attributes. By
specifying a range of matrix attributes, you can fine-tune your selection of
applicable price matrices: only matrices that have matrix attributes of the
specified range are selected. As a result, only the prices of the selected
price matrices will be updated. You can specify a range of matrix attributes on
the Freight and Line tabs of this session.
- Create a report to update the (ranges of) attributes. If you
only want to simulate an update report, select the Simulation Only check box.
Note - Update the price on the General tab of this session. Specify the percentage or
the amount by which the prices must be updated.
- Only matrix attributes are enabled that are defined for the Matrix Definition.
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. Note - Matrix definitions
are maintained in the Matrix Definitions (tdpcg0110m000) session.
- You cannot enter
matrix definitions without matrix attributes in this session.
Matrix Type The matrix type, which is Carrier Freight Rate or Client Freight Rate in this session. Update Price Use this field to update the price. You can update the price
with a percentage or with a value. - Select the By Percentage check box if you want to update the price with a
percentage. As a result, the Percentage to Change By field is available.
- Select the By Value check box if you want to update the price with a value. As a
result, the Value to Change By field is available.
Value to Change By The value with which the price is updated. Note The price can either
be updated with a percentage or with a value. Currency A generally accepted medium of exchange such as coins, treasury
notes, and banknotes. The following currency types are available in LN: - Home currency, which is used internally by companies to
calculate costs, record budgets, and register tax amounts
- Transaction currency, which is used in transactions with
business partners, such as orders and invoices
Note If you select a
specific currency in the currency range, enter that currency in this field.
Otherwise, the home currency is used in this field. Percentage to Change By The value with which the price is updated. Note The price can either
be updated with a percentage or with a value. Rounding Code Set of up to six ranges of values and their rounding values.
Rounding codes can be linked to quantities and amounts. They are used when you
calculate, for example, purchase prices and discounts, sales prices and
discounts, and warehousing rates. Example A rounding code can define the following ranges with their
rounding values: - Up to 100: round to whole numbers
- From 100 to 100,000: round to a multiple of 5
- From 100,000 onward: round to a multiple of 100.
New Effective Date The date and time as from which the updated price must become
effective. New Expiry Date The date and time as from which the updated price expires. Fixed Amount If this check box is selected, fixed amounts are
upgraded as specified in the Percentage to Change By field or the Value to Change By field. If the selected Matrix Type is Client Freight Rate, fixed amounts for client freight rates are upgraded. If the
selected Matrix Type is Carrier Freight Rate, fixed amounts for carrier freight rates are upgraded. Minimum Amount If this check box is selected, minimum amounts are
upgraded as specified in the Percentage to Change By field or the Value to Change By field. If the selected Matrix Type is Client Freight Rate, minimum amounts for client freight rates are upgraded. If the
selected Matrix Type is Carrier Freight Rate, minimum amounts for carrier freight rates are upgraded. Amount by Distance If this check box is selected, amounts by distance are
upgraded as specified in the Percentage to Change By field or the Value to Change By field. If the selected Matrix Type is Client Freight Rate, amounts by distance for client freight rates are updated. If the
selected Matrix Type is Carrier Freight Rate, amounts by distance for carrier freight rates are updated. Amount by Weight If this check box is selected, amounts by weight are
upgraded as specified in the Percentage to Change By field or the Value to Change By field. If the selected Matrix Type is Client Freight Rate, amounts by weight for client freight rates are updated. If the
selected Matrix Type is Carrier Freight Rate, amounts by weight for carrier freight rates are updated. Amount by Additional Rate Unit If this check box is selected, amounts by additional
rate units are upgraded as specified in the Percentage to Change By field or the Value to Change By field. If the selected Matrix Type is Client Freight Rate, amounts by additional rate units for client freight rates are
upgraded. If the selected Matrix Type is Carrier Freight Rate, amounts by additional rate units for carrier freight rates are
upgraded. Simulation Only If this check box is selected, a report simulating the
update of prices is displayed. The data update is only displayed, not
processed. Print Changes If this check box is selected, a report can be
displayed or printed and the updated or deleted data is processed. | |
