Pricing Parameters (tdpcg0100m000)

Field Information

Effective Date

The date and time when the parameters are valid. The current parameter set (without an effective date) is located at the top of the list. The historical parameter sets are identified by their effective date.

Description

The description of the parameter set. For example, you can indicate why you change the parameters.

Multiple Discount Levels Implemented

If this check box is selected, multiple discount levels can be used to retrieve discounts.

If this check box is cleared, only one discount level is used to retrieve discounts.

Note: Only if this check box is selected, the Level Discount Control fields are visible and can be specified on the Sales and Purchase tabs. The number of discount levels that you can specify depends on the Number of Discount Levels field.

Number of Discount Levels

Specify the number of discount levels that you want to use to retrieve discounts. You can specify a maximum of five discount levels.

Note: 

A maximum number of 5 discount levels can result into an application of 11 numbers of discounts in LN. A maximum number of 4 discount levels can result into 9 discounts. A maximum of 3 discount levels can result into 7 discounts, and so on.

The reason for this is that:

1. The first level of discount is the discount linked to a price book.
2. The second up to the sixth level of discounts are the line discounts defined in the Sales Line Discount Matrices (tdpcg0130m110) and Purchase Line Discount Matrices (tdpcg0130m130) sessions.
3. The seventh up to the eleventh level of discounts are the total discounts defined in the Sales Total Discount Matrices (tdpcg0130m120) and Purchase Total Discount Matrices (tdpcg0130m140) sessions.

To use, for example, 11 numbers of discounts, the Add/Overwrite Total Discounts must be set to Add. If you choose Overwrite, LN overwrites the line discounts with the total discounts, which means that the maximum number of discounts can only come to 6.

You can specify the values for the line discount levels and order discount levels in the Level Discount Control fields on the Sales and Purchase tabs. For example, if you specify a number of 2 in this field, you can define 2 discount levels: level 1 and level 2. As a result, you can select values such as First Discount for level 1 and Best Discount for level 2. LN sets discount control levels 3, 4, and 5 automatically to Not Applicable.

If you use multiple discount levels, the final discount is the result of combining discount percentages or amounts across the separate levels. You can only record and search for prices at a single level.

Performance aspects

The setting of this field could affect system performance and database growth. For more information, refer to Number of discount levels.

Combine Items for Pricing

Price Control

This field determines which sales price must be used from price books that are found by means of a price matrix, which you can enter in the Sales Price Matrices (tdpcg0130m010) session.

You have the following options:

• First Price

  For a specific matrix definition, LN uses the first price found in the price matrix with the most recent effective date.

• Lowest Price

  For a specific matrix definition, LN retrieves the first price found in the price matrix with the most recent effective date. However, if other relevant matrix definitions are applicable, LN continues searching these other price matrices for lower prices. LN uses the lowest price found in a price matrix.

Note: 

• If you select Lowest Price, it does not mean that LN searches each entry (sequence) that is effective for a specific matrix definition in the Sales Price Matrices (tdpcg0130m010) session. LN only compares prices between price matrices that contain matrix definitions for which the Order Priority field differs in the Matrix Priorities (tdpcg0120m000) session.
• Because LN retrieves the price with the most recent effective date in the price matrix for a specific matrix definition, you can define an exception by entering a new entry with new effective dates in the existing price matrix.

Performance aspects

The setting of this field could affect system performance and database growth. For more information, refer to Price, rate, and discount control.

Example

Settings in the Matrix Priorities (tdpcg0120m000) session for the Sales Price matrix type:

Priority	1	2
Effectivity period	01/01/2006-31/12/2006	01/01/2006-31/12/2006
Matrix definition	Cust	Prlist

Price matrices in the Sales Price Matrices (tdpcg0130m010) session for the Sales Price matrix type:

Matrix definition	Cust
Priority	10	20
Effectivity period	01/01/2006-31/12/2006	01/05/2006-30/08/2006
Price in price book	7	10

Matrix definition	Prlist
Priority	10	20
Effectivity period	01/01/2006-31/12/2006	01/06/2006-30/09/2006
Price in price book	8	11

In addition, the following applies:

• The Price Control parameter is set to Lowest Price.
• An item is sold on the 30th of May 2006 and all price matrices are applicable.

LN retrieves the correct price as follows:

1. For the first applicable matrix definition, which is the matrix definition with Order Priority 1 in the Matrix Priorities (tdpcg0120m000), LN retrieves the price with the most recent effective date in the price matrix . As a result, LN retrieves the price of 10 from the Cust Price Matrix.
2. Because the Price Control parameter is set to Lowest Price, LN continues searching for prices in price matrices that are also stored in the Matrix Priorities (tdpcg0120m000) session. As a result, from the Prlist Price Matrix, which is stored as Order Priority 2 in the Matrix Priorities (tdpcg0120m000) session, LN retrieves the price with the most recent effective date in the price matrix, which is the price of 8.
3. LN uses the price of 8, which is the lowest price.

Price Control

This field determines which purchase price must be used from price books that are found by means of a price matrix, which you can enter in the Transfer Price Matrices (tdpcg0130m030) session.

You have the following options:

• First Price

  For a specific matrix definition, LN uses the first price found in the price matrix with the most recent effective date.

• Lowest Price

  For a specific matrix definition, LN retrieves the first price found in the price matrix with the most recent effective date. However, if other relevant matrix definitions are applicable, LN continues searching these other price matrices for lower prices. LN uses the lowest price found in a price matrix.

Note: 

• If you select Lowest Price, it does not mean that LN searches each entry (sequence) that is effective for a specific matrix definition in the Transfer Price Matrices (tdpcg0130m030) session. LN only compares prices between price matrices that contain matrix definitions for which the Order Priority field differs in the Matrix Priorities (tdpcg0120m000) session.
• Because LN retrieves the price with the most recent effective date in the price matrix for a specific matrix definition, you can define an exception by entering a new entry with a new effective date in the existing price matrix.

Performance aspects

The setting of this field could affect system performance and database growth. For more information, refer to Price, rate, and discount control.

Example

Settings in the Matrix Priorities (tdpcg0120m000) session for the Transfer Price matrix type:

Priority	1	2
Effectivity period	01/01/2006-31/12/2006	01/01/2006-31/12/2006
Matrix definition	Supplier	Prlist

Price matrices in the Transfer Price Matrices (tdpcg0130m030) session for the Transfer Price matrix type:

Matrix definition	Suppl
Priority	10	20
Effectivity period	01/01/2006-31/12/2006	01/05/2006-30/08/2006
Price in price book	7	10

Matrix definition	Prlist
Priority	10	20
Effectivity period	01/01/2006-31/12/2006	01/06/2006-30/09/2006
Price in price book	8	11

In addition, the following applies:

• The Price Control parameter is set to Lowest Price.
• An item is purchased on the 30th of May 2006 and all price matrices are applicable.

LN retrieves the correct price as follows:

1. For the first applicable matrix definition, which is the matrix definition with Order Priority 1 in the Matrix Priorities (tdpcg0120m000), LN retrieves the price with the most recent effective date in the price matrix . As a result, LN retrieves the price of 10 from the Suppl Matrix.
2. Because the Price Control parameter is set to Lowest Price, LN continues searching for prices in price matrices to which other relevant matrix definitions are linked that are also stored in the Matrix Priorities (tdpcg0120m000) session. As a result, from the Prlist Matrix, which is stored as Order Priority 2 in the Matrix Priorities (tdpcg0120m000) session, LN retrieves the price with the most recent effective date in the price matrix, which is the price of 8.
3. LN uses the price of 8, which is the lowest price.
