Amalgamated pricing (BL/DST)

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 groups to separate order lines with similar items and to offer a quantity break price on items that are priced independently.

For example, an office supplier sells ball point pens in three colors of red, blue, and black. Each color is priced independently on a separate order line. The office supplier offers a 15% discount on pen purchases of 30 boxes or more. Usually, the customer would have to buy 30 boxes of one color to receive the discount. However, if the office supplier groups the pens amalgamated, then the customer can purchase 10 boxes each of red, blue, and black pens with discount.

If you use amalgamated pricing, then the order or invoice entry requires a special group pricing action code.
