Price Detail Rule

A price detail rule results in the creation of a price detail record. Each record represents detailed component values of the final line price, when the price is configured. Price components are associated either with an option or with a user-defined price component description.

The price detail information can be printed on the standard reports as indicated by the print code, or you may create custom reports. The Price Detail File for sales orders is EC240AP, and for quote orders it is EC240AP2.

Note: If the parent part of a configured item is processed using the Price Detail Rule, then the Finalize Cost Rule determines the cost, not the cost generation process. This is because the a manufacturing order is not processed for a purchased part.

The SEQ field is the first two characters of this field. These characters must be numeric. The SEQ field will be used to determine the print order of price element records on reports. The CODE field is the third character of this field and is one character long. This is the PRINT CODE as defined on Reference File category Y33. The PRINT CODE determines where price elements will be printed. The OPTION field is the fourth character of this field. The OPTION FLAG is used to determine if the value in the VARIABLE portion of this field is an option name from a screen generation rule or a user defined price element description. Valid values for the OPTION FLAG are Y and N. The VARIABLE field begins in the fifth position of this filed. If the OPTION FLAG is Y then only a 15 character option name can be entered. This option name must be found on a screen generation rule. If the OPTION FLAG is N then the user may use 25 characters to define the price element. The VARIABLE portion of this filed cannot be blank and the last character in this field must always be blank.
