Promotional Pricing Order of Processing

How Jim2 calculates the selling price for a piece of stock depends on several factors. It is possible that the pricing for stock is used on several promotions (and types of promotions) and may also be related to a project, etc.

 

The standard order of calculating a selling price is as follows:

 

Rank

Source

Based on

Explanation

1

Project/Machine

Price level on project/machine

If job/quote is related to a project, is there a price based on the project's price level?

 

If yes, use this price.

2

Job/Quote

Customer (Cust#) on job/quote

Is there a customer-specific price for this stock?

 

If yes, use this price.

3

Job/Quote

Price level on job/quote

Is there a price for this stock for this price level?

 

If yes, use this price.

 

For this to be used with promotions, additional ranking and a method of breaking (stopping) when finding a price is required. In general, the lowest will be used based on ranking and breaks in the following order:
