Field Name

Type / Max Length

Action / Description

Apply adjustment amount or percent first

Required
1 alphanumeric

Select A to apply the adjustment amount before the adjustment percent or select P to apply the adjustment percent before the adjustment amount.

For example, suppose that the item's base price is 10.00, the adjustment amount is 1.20, and the adjustment percent is 3%.

If you select A:

Adjustment amount

10.00 + 1.20 = 11.20

Adjustment percent

11.20 x .03 = .336

Final price

11.20 + .336 = 11.536

If you select P:

Adjustment percent

10.00 x .03 = .300

Adjustment amount

10.00 + .300 = 10.30

Final price

10.30 + 1.20 = 11.50

Apply discount amount or percent first

Required
1 alphanumeric

Select A to apply the discount amount before the discount percent or select P to apply the discount percent before the discount amount.

For example, suppose that the item's base price is 10.00, the adjustment amount is 1.20, and the adjustment percent is 3%.

If you select A:

Discount amount

10.00 - 1.20 = 8.80

Discount percent

8.80 x .03 = .264

Final price

8.80 - .264 = 8.536

If you select P:

Discount percent

10.00 x .03 = .300

Discount amount

10.00 - .300 = 9.70

Final price

9.70 - 1.20 = 8.50

Read for default selling UOM?

Optional

Select to use the item's sales unit of measure (UOM) when the pricing routine cannot find a price for the Sales UOM on the sales order line. Leave blank if you want the pricing routine to continue to search for an applicable price.

If you select this option, the pricing routine first attempts to find a price based on the Sales UOM on the order line, for example GROSS. If you have not established a price for GROSS, the routine uses the Sales UOM field in the item's record in the Branch Item Maintenance (IMB) program. If that is DOZEN, the routine looks for a price for a dozen and converts it to a price for a GROSS, based on the unit of measure conversion set up in the Unit of Measure Codes Maintenance (TUM) program. If you have not set up a conversion for this UOM, the pricing routine continues to search for another applicable price in the same hierarchy level by looking for another currency, UOM, and branch.

If you leave this option blank and no price exists for the UOM ordered, the pricing routine advances to the next level of the hierarchy to find another suitable price for GROSS based on other criteria.

Read for base currency record?

Optional

Select to use the base currency when the price is not in the customer's currency or leave blank to continue searching for an applicable price.

If you select this option and no price exists in the customer's currency, the pricing routine looks for a price in your base currency. If that price exists, the routine converts it to the customer's currency. If you have not set up a conversion in the Currency Codes Maintenance (TCU) program, pricing routine continues to search for another applicable price on the same hierarchy level.

If you leave this option blank and no price exists in the customer's currency, the pricing routine advances to the next level of the hierarchy to find another suitable price.

Optional

Select if you want to use the price set by the pricing branch when no price is set in the sales branch or leave blank if you do not.

If you select this option and no price exists for this item and customer in the sales branch for the sales order, then the pricing routine will look for a price in the pricing branch for the sales branch.

If you leave this option blank, no price exists for this item and customer in the sales branch, and you do not select the Read for enterprise branch? option, the program displays a message: No pricing was found for this customer/item or There is no pricing set up for this item in this branch.
