Typically you will have one or more price lists set up to represent your vendors’ prices for regularly purchased items.Įvery item in your system is automatically linked to every price list. Price lists are not only used in sales, but like all of the pricing functionality, they are used in purchasing as well. Pricing could also be based on the size of a customer. Managing multiple price lists allow you to provide flexibility in pricing.įor example, you want to offer customers that make regular purchases from you or who purchase large quantities a lower price than customers who only make occasional purchases or purchase small quantities of an item. If no period and volume discount, it uses the price list assigned to the business partner to find the price.Īs of the 9.0 release, the system also looks at for pricing associated for the unit of measure used on the row.
If no discount group applies, it looks for period and volume discounts. If no special price exists for that business partner, it looks for discount groups. The system starts looking for a special price for that business partner. So, that means it starts with the types of prices listed in the opposite order of how they have been introduced in this graphic.
When the system searches for a price, it looks for the most specific type of price first. You will notice that the four types of prices range from the most general “price lists” to the most specific “special prices for business partners”. However, please note that the unit of measure defined in the special price must match the unit of measure specified in the row for the discount to apply. Special prices defined for a business partner override all other prices. You can define discounts by date range and quantities and units of measure. You can base your discounts on any price list, or simply enter them manually. In that case, you can use special prices for business partners. Some times you want to give an even better deal to your favorite customers. If a sales order line item is relevant for a discount group price, then that price will override a discount based on a period or volume discount or a price list price. These types of prices are called discount groups. You can add discounts based on item group, item properties, and item’s manufacturer. The next level of pricing is the discount groups. The unit of measure used for the purchase must match the unit of measure defined in the discount for the discount to apply. The discounts entered here will override the basic price in the business partner’s assigned price list. Period and volume discounts allow you to define discounts by dates and based on volume based on an existing price list. You may want to give a discount when a customer buys in volume. You may want to set up sale prices for a limited time period. Then when a business partner who belongs to that price list buys an item, they get the right price for their customer group.Ī basic price for the product may not be enough. On each price list you can enter a price for each item and unit of measure. You can set up price lists for different groups of customers. The first and most basic way of pricing is price lists. In SAP Business One, we have price lists, period and volume discounts, discount groups and special prices for business partners. Let us look at some of the different tools available to set up pricing. That is why SAP Business One has several ways to handle pricing. Internet customers get a lower price than customer who need customer service in a store environment. Similarly a customer buying a larger volume will get a better price than a customer buying only one.
Different customers receive different prices based on the circumstances of the sale.įor example, a one-time customer pays a higher price than a regular customer or one of your resellers.
