Precise price calculation using price types, price scales and pricing rules

The pri­ce cal­cu­la­ti­on func­tions sup­port both inter­nal sales and inter­na­tio­nal sales and offer out­stan­ding pri­cing fle­xi­bi­li­ty. The pri­ces for pro­ducts with cus­to­mer-spe­ci­fic con­fi­gu­ra­ti­on are cal­cu­la­ted in CREALIS® using free­ly defi­nable pri­ce lists, pri­ce sca­les and pri­cing rules. They can be dif­fe­rent for each busi­ness role, such as account mana­ger, direct sales, or exter­nal dea­ler, depen­ding on the sales regi­on and access right. The dis­play of dif­fe­rent cur­ren­ci­es gua­ran­tees the inter­na­tio­nal use of the con­fi­gu­ra­tor. Dis­counts or tar­get pri­ces may be set during con­fi­gu­ra­ti­on at indi­vi­du­al loca­ti­ons and in the over­all con­fi­gu­ra­ti­on.

Effective maintenance

  • Pri­ces are main­tai­ned in CREALIS® PDM and sup­port­ed by auto­ma­ted imports from third-par­ty sys­tems (e.g. ERP).
  • Pri­ces, con­sis­tent with the defi­ned pri­ce lists, are stored for items, packa­ges and simp­le values.
  • Pri­ce lists are cur­ren­cy-rela­ted and can be stored on a mar­ket-spe­ci­fic basis.
  • Glo­bal pri­ce adjus­t­ments, such as annu­al pri­ce increa­ses, are con­ve­ni­ent­ly sup­port­ed.
  • Artic­les can be com­bi­ned into packa­ges with indi­vi­du­al packa­ge pri­ces..
  • Pri­cing rules for glo­bal and local pri­ce modi­fi­ca­ti­on are also defi­ned in the CREALIS® PDM
  • Swit­ches, such as dis­coun­ta­ble and cal­culable, can be set indi­vi­du­al­ly for each artic­le.

Individual pricing structure

  • Pri­ce cal­cu­la­ti­on always deter­mi­nes the cor­rect total pri­ce in the cor­rect cur­ren­cy in par­al­lel with con­fi­gu­ra­ti­on.
  • The pri­ce dis­play is roll-spe­ci­fic and the con­fi­gu­ra­ti­on, the result and the docu­ments are cus­to­mi­zed.
  • If you choo­se indi­vi­du­al packa­ge items, packa­ge sel­ec­tion is recom­men­ded.
  • Role-based allo­ca­ti­ons of the pri­ce lists ensu­res that the right pri­ces are view­ed.
  • Aut­ho­riza­ti­ons for ente­ring dis­counts and tar­get pri­ces both in the over­all con­fi­gu­ra­ti­on and the indi­vi­du­al result items as well as reba­te limits are con­trol­led on a roll-spe­ci­fic basis.
  • Gra­dua­ted pri­ces on items allow volu­me-based pri­cing.
  • Pri­ce cal­cu­la­ti­on can be desi­gned as a mark­up cal­cu­la­ti­on for dis­tri­bu­tors and exter­nal dea­lers.
  • Pri­ces can be con­ver­ted direct­ly bet­ween dif­fe­rent cur­ren­ci­es during con­fi­gu­ra­ti­on.
  • Ren­tal or lea­sing pri­cing models can also be map­ped.
