Pricing/Discount Template

There are four components which effect the way a pricing/discount template is processed: type of template, key fields, values of the key fields, and the template start date.  These factors influence applicability, qualification requirements, and date eligibility.  

• The type of template determines when a template is applicable.  The primary template type (pricing or discounting) indicates the template's intended use.
• The key fields (defined on Reference File category G69) determine which fields from the order header and/or order line will be used with the template.  
• The values of key fields (defined on the Pricing/Discount Template Relationship Detail screen) determine the actual target set of the template (i.e., the template will be used if the values of the order header and/or line match the template criteria -- the values of the key fields).  You can also establish multiple target sets for one template by using different template sequence codes.  
• The template start date determines the templates eligibility.  You can have multiple variations of a template, but only one, open-ended start date.  To be eligible for a template, the order's pricing date must be greater than or equal to the template start date.
