Global Pricing Tiers provide the ability to manage the pricing of multiple parts and modifiers from one location. They need to be assigned to a part or a modifier before they affect any pricing.
Create a Global Pricing Tier
- Navigate to Management Module > Global Settings > Pricing Settings > Global Pricing Tiers.
- Click Create New
- A window will appear. Give your tier a name, and select if you want it to use Cost-Plus Pricing or Market-Based Pricing and click Create
- You'll now see your Pricing Settings grids (margin percentages for Cost-Plus — discount percentages for Market-Based). Choose one Pricing Type.
If using Market-Based Pricing:
- (A) Enter the Maximum Discount allowed for the part. Click Save & Recalculate to auto populate the Discount Chart Table
- The Maximum Discount populates to the highest Quantity Break and Customer Tier
- 0 will populate in the lowest Quantity Break and Customer Tier
- (B) Click Use Interpolation to allow a range of discount percentage between Quantity Breaks.
- For example: Using the chart below, at a quantity break of 75 a customer tier of 1
- Without Interpolation, the customer will receive a discount of 7.5%. 75 is above 50 but lower than 100, so it will receive the discount assigned to the quantity break at 50
- With Interpolation, the customer will receive a discount of approximately 8.125%. 75 is halfway between 50 and 100, so it will receive the discount value between 7.5% and 8.75%.
- For example: Using the chart below, at a quantity break of 75 a customer tier of 1
- (C) To use Custom Discounts replace percentage amounts in the grids with your custom percentages. Click Save Custom Discounts
IMPORTANT NOTE: CLICKING SAVE & RECALCULATE WILL OVERRIDE ANY CUSTOM DISCOUNTS ENTERED.
- (A) Enter the Maximum Discount allowed for the part. Click Save & Recalculate to auto populate the Discount Chart Table
- If using Cost-Plus Pricing:
- (A) Enter the Minimum Margin and Maximum Margin desired for the part. Click Save & Recalculate to auto populate the Margin Chart Table.
- The Minimum margin will populate to the highest Quantity Break and Customer Tier
- The Desired Margin will populate to the lowest Quantity Break and Customer Tier
- (B) Click Use Interpolation to allow a range of margin between Quantity Breaks.
- For example: Using the chart below, at a quantity break of 75 and a customer tier of 1
- Without Interpolation, the margin will be 64%. 75 is above 50 but lower than 100, so it will receive the margin assigned to the quantity break at 50
- With Interpolation, the margin will be 63%. 75 is halfway between 50 and 100, so it will receive the margin value between 64% and 62%
- For example: Using the chart below, at a quantity break of 75 and a customer tier of 1
- (C)To use Custom Margins replace percentage amounts in the grids with your custom percentages. Click Save Custom Margins
