| An outline of the pricing information retrieval processes |  |
| The search for valid pricing information includes more than just the Pricing Control (PCG) matrices that are defined in Pricing. As a rule, special and normal contracts have priority over Pricing matrices. The supplier price book, in which you can store purchase prices, can also have priority over Pricing matrices. This depends on the value of the High Priority check box in the Price Books (tdpcg0131m000) session. For more information on defining a supplier price book, refer to To set up a supplier price book. For more information on defining pricing matrices, refer to Matrix structure. General searching logic for retrieving pricing information The search sequence applied for each type of pricing information is as follows: From valid special contracts. From valid normal contracts. From the supplier price book, for combinations that have the High Priority check box selected in the Price Books (tdpcg0131m000) session. This search step is only applicable when retrieving purchase prices and discounts, not sales prices/discounts. From valid matrices for which a matrix sequence is defined. If a matrix definition is not listed in the matrix sequence, ERP LN does not search the Pricing matrices that use that definition. ERP LN only searches Pricing matrices whose matrix definitions are part of the matrix sequence, as defined in the Matrix Sequences (tdpcg0120m000) session. 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 High Priority check box cleared in the Price Books (tdpcg0131m000) session. From Item Sales Data, or from Item Purchase Data. Note As soon as a price is found in one of the levels, ERP LN stops the searching process in lower levels. Retrieval and calculation of prices, discounts, and promotions takes place in one run when an order or contract is saved. Freight costs are calculated when load building is carried out, or when the user launches the freight cost calculation process from sales orders, purchase orders, freight orders or shipments.
