Pricing Rules

 

The configured pricing rules calculate a price based on the sales order options selected.  In our desk example, we defined a secondary variable called BASEPRICE with the base price of a standard desk of 469, but there are other methods of creating prices for configured parts.  For more information on secondary variables, see Secondary Variable; Key Concepts and  Procedures:  Secondary Variable Rule; and the screen Standard Rule Maintenance - Detail:  Secondary Variable Rule.

After creating a variable with the basic price of the desk, we created a Finalize Price Rule to calculate the price of a luxury desk as one and one-half the amount of the base price.  The Finalize Price Rule for the standard model sets the price equal to the base price of the desk.  The syntax for the final price calculations appear in the VALUE OF FINAL PRICE field on the Pricing Rule Inquiry Screen as follows:

Standard:    (S-BASEPRICE,X,1)

Luxury:       (S-BASEPRICE,X,1.5)

We ensure that the proper price rule is executed by conditioning the luxury price calculation to be processed only if the luxury model was selected on the sales order option selection screen.  See below for an example of the Finalized Price Rule for the luxury desk option.
