Setting up limit dependent pricing

Related topics

Using limit dependent pricing it is possible to vary the price and/or discount that you give to your customers dependent upon the amount, quantity, or matrix quantities for items that belong to an item matrix that they buy at a single time.

This is performed in two main ways:

  1. Either, by using a predefined set of limits, along with their discounts, held against a user-defined limit code in the Limit code table. These predefined limits can be connected in a Sales price list, Customer contract and/or Sales pricing method.
  2. Or, by defining the limits, prices, or discounts, uniquely against an item in a Sales price list, Customer contract, or Sales pricing method.

This document and the related documents describe the process of setting up predefined limit codes.

(Predefined) Limit codes are used to store frequently used quantity, matrix quantities for items that belong to an item matrix, or amount discounts that are dependent upon the quantity entered or the amount on the quotation or sales order line. These could typically be used as a company standard.

Where used:

Quantity dependent, matrix quantity dependent or amount dependent limit codes may be used to define the limits for Customer contracts and Sales pricing methods. However, for Sales price lists, only quantities or matrix quantities can be used to define the unique limits and only a quantity dependent limit code or matrix dependent limit code can be used.

In a Sales price list, Customer contract or Sales pricing method either a limit code or unique limits may be used, but not both.

Limit codes must be defined as amount dependent (A), quantity dependent (Q), or matrix dependent (M). If (A) then a currency is mandatory and the unit is optional. If (Q), the unit is mandatory and the currency is optional. If (M), both the unit and currency is optional. If both unit and currency are defined then both must match those on the order before the prices, or discounts, held against the code will be applied. Furthermore they must both match the currency and unit entered on the Sales price list, Customer contract or Sales pricing method before the limit code can be attached to them.
