      <Paragraph>Retrieval and calculation of prices, discounts, and promotions

		out, or when the user launches the freight cost calculation process from sales
		orders, purchase orders, freight orders or shipments. A general searching logic

      <SectionTitle>General searching logic for retrieving pricing
		information</SectionTitle>
      <Paragraph>The search for valid <Link href="/baanerp/td/glossary/glossary#000361" role="glossary">pricing information</Link> includes more than just the <Link href="/baanerp/td/glossary/glossary#000360" role="glossary">pricing matrices</Link> that are defined in <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/pcg" role="module">Pricing</GUIRef>. As a rule,
		special and normal contracts have priority over pricing matrices. The <Link href="/baanerp/td/glossary/glossary#000330" role="glossary">supplier price book</Link>, in which you can store <Emphasis>purchase</Emphasis> prices,
		can also have priority over pricing matrices. This depends on the value of the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/pcg/tdpcg0131m000#tdpcg031.hipr" role="manual">High Priority</GUIRef> check
		box in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/pcg/tdpcg0131m000" role="session">Price Book Lines (tdpcg0131m000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>
      <ProcedureList>
         <ListIntro>The search sequence applied for each type of pricing
		  information is as follows:</ListIntro>
         <ListItem>From valid <Link href="/baanerp/td/glossary/glossary#SpeciaContra_td" role="glossary"
                  Update="No">special contracts</Link>
         </ListItem>
         <ListItem>From valid <Link href="/baanerp/td/glossary/glossary#NormalContra_td" role="glossary"
                  Update="No">normal contracts</Link>
         </ListItem>
         <ListItem>From the supplier price book, for combinations that have the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/pcg/tdpcg0131m000#tdpcg031.hipr" role="manual">High Priority</GUIRef> check
		  box selected in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/pcg/tdpcg0131m000" role="session">Price Book Lines (tdpcg0131m000)</GUIRef> session. This search step is only applicable when retrieving purchase prices
		  and discounts, not sales prices/discounts</ListItem>
         <ListItem>From valid matrices for which a matrix priority is specified in
		  the <Link href="/baanerp/td/pcg/tdpcg0120m000" role="session">Matrix Priorities (tdpcg0120m000)</Link> session. If a matrix
		  definition has no matrix priority, ERP Enterprise does not search the pricing matrices that
		  use that definition.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>For sales prices and
		  discounts, from the default sales price book. For purchase prices and
		  discounts, from the supplier price book, for combinations that have the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/pcg/tdpcg0131m000#tdpcg031.hipr" role="manual">High Priority</GUIRef> check
		  box cleared in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/pcg/tdpcg0131m000" role="session">Price Book Lines (tdpcg0131m000)</GUIRef> session</ListItem>
         <ListItem>From <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/isa" role="module">Item Sales Data</GUIRef>, or from <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/ipu" role="module">Item Purchase Data</GUIRef>
