- Setting up Item Classification pricing
From this panel you can define/maintain standard purchase prices, per supplier, for the items that are connected to the grouping structure within the item classification definition. You also have the possibility to define the following:
- Mark-up factors used to calculate Standard cost sales (SCS) for the items which can be updated together with the Standard purchase price.
- Exceptions to the base standard purchase price which can be applicable for specific items and applied using item exceptions (takes precedence) and/or characteristic exceptions.
Because the pricing routine requires the item to be completely created before any pricing calculation can be applied, you can download these prices AFTER item creation from either the Item classification definition level or the Item file. See SPP download for more information.
Note: The price will be created in two different currencies if the currency for the SPP price group differs from the supplier’s primary currency.
Options
| Delete | Select this option to delete a record. Note: The deletion of an active (current) record is not allowed. This is because it might cause the update of zero purchase/cost prices to the items. |
| Item simulation/Download | Select this option to view the items connected to the SPP price group and the associated purchase price/cost information. This program can be accessed in two modes from this location:
|
| Characteristic exceptions | Select this option to define purchase price exceptions per characteristic value. Depending on the entered criteria, items might receive a different base purchase price than the one defined as the standard for any item belonging to the applicable grouping structure. |
| Item exceptions | Select this option to define purchase price exceptions per item. Depending on the entered criteria, the item might receive a different base purchase price than the one defined as the standard for any item belonging to the applicable grouping structure. |

Selection fields
- Supplier
- This column lists the suppliers for whom the SPP price groups are defined. A SPP price group is the set-up of supplier prices in the item classification definition with exceptions applied, i.e. price groups are defined on the classification profile 1/classification profile 2/supplier levels with defined exceptions.
- P list
- This column lists the purchase price list to which the SPP price group is connected.
- From
- This column lists the start date of the pricing period for the standard purchase price.
- To
- This column lists the end date of the pricing period for the standard purchase price. The date is calculated automatically from the Valid from date from the next record added. The To date in the last record is always blank.
- Class unit
- This column lists the standard purchase price unit. When the SPP is downloaded this unit is converted to the item purchase unit.
- Price
- This column lists the standard purchase price that is defined for the SPP price group.
- Curr
- This column lists the standard purchase price currency for the SPP price group.
- Act
- This column lists the YES setting if the SPP price group has been activated. When you add a record and any exceptions, it is inactivated by default. It must be manually activated (by setting the Active field to YES on the detail panel). When the SPP is activated it can be downloaded to the items connected to the SPP price group. See SPP download for more information.
- C
- This column is set to YES if characteristic exceptions are connected to the SPP.
- I
- This column is set to YES if item exceptions are connected to the SPP.
Work with item classification definition, Standard purchase prices, Detail (DIR27704)
On this panel you add the standard purchase price details.
You can access the Item simulation program to view the items connected to the SPP price group (for the Item classification definition) and the associated purchase price/cost information by clicking the Item simulation function key on this panel.
All changes to an existing active record will trigger the update of purchase and cost prices on item level. You can configure the system to send an alert, using DC1 Alert Management, to inform the applicable person that purchase prices/cost prices have been changed and there might be a need to download purchase prices. There are a number of Alerts that can be activated for this purpose. They include: ICLDEFNCHG (Item classification definition change) and ICLDEFNSPP (SPP or SCS mark-up changed). You must activate them and assign the applicable person as receiver. See Configure the system to send/receive alert messages for instructions.

- Supplier
- The supplier for the SPP price group. A SPP price group is the set-up of supplier prices in the item classification definition with exceptions applied, i.e. price groups are defined on the classification profile 1/classification profile 2/supplier levels with defined exceptions.
- From date
- The start date of the pricing period for the standard purchase price.
- To date
- The end date of the pricing period for the standard purchase price. The date is calculated automatically from the Valid from date from the next record added. The To date in the last record is always blank.

- Price
- The standard purchase price for the SPP price group.
- Currency
- The standard purchase price currency for the SPP price group.
- Combined rules
- This flag dictates the validation of any defined characteristic exceptions. The default value for this field is YES for new records. If you set this field to NO, an integrity check (validation) must be performed to ensure that the item connected to the SPP price group (for the Item classification definition) is only connected to one characteristic exception set-up. This field is protected if the SPP record is active or if the record is inactive and characteristics exceptions for the SPP group exist. See Combined rules flag for characteristic exceptions in Item Classification pricing for more information.
- SCS operator
- The operator together with SCS price factor is used to calculate standard cost for sales. Enter the operator for this price group. Valid operators are: +, -, /, * or %.
- SCS price factor

Work with item classification definition, Standard purchase prices, Copy (DIR27705)

- Supplier
- Displays the supplier for the record you selected to copy.
- N Item classification profile 1
- The name of this field depends on what has been set up in the DIS control keys file for the Item related key that was chosen to represent the Item classification profile 1 entity of the grouping structure (defined in the DIS control file). Enter the new Item classification profile 1 code that is to be connected to the Group/Main group in the grouping structure of the selected Item classification definition.

- The name of this field depends on what has been set up in the DIS control keys file for the Item related key that was chosen to represent the Item classification profile 2 entity of the grouping structure (defined in the DIS control file). Enter the mew Item classification profile 2 code that is to be connected to the Group/Main group in the grouping structure of the selected Item classification definition.
