Use scales to define pricing conditions for different quantities or value of products
in an order. You can add scale conditions to a calculation schema. Based on the condition, the
system determines the scale of an order item or order header (for example, freight surcharges)
and applies the corresponding rate.

Scale Types
You can add these types of scale conditions:
From Scale (a scale rate is applied when the scale base is between the scale value and
the next scale value)
To Scale (a scale rate is applied when the scale base is up to the scale value)
Graduated Scale (rate is applied based on various scale ranges defined)
Scale Base
You can define scales based on different scale sizes (scale
base) in the pricing condition template:
Amount
Quantity
Weight
Volume
Considerations
Points to keep in mind when working with scale conditions:
When the scale base is quantity, weight, and volume, the scale rates for From and To
scales can be defined as Price, Percentage, Amount, Flat Rate, and Free Items. You can’t
define scale rate as Price when the scale base is amount.
You can define graduated scales when the scale rate is price, percentage, or amount and
the scale base is a quantity. When the scale base is the amount, you can define the scale
rate only as a percentage. You can’t use a scale base as weight and volume for a graduated
scale.
Example From and to scales can provide percentage discounts or flat rate discounts based on the
number of units ordered while a graduated scale can provide discounts based on the total value
of an order. Here’s an example of each scale type.
From Scale (scale base
quantity)
Scale
Scale Value
Rate
1
20
-3 %
2
40
-4 %
3
60
-5 %
When the product quantity is from 20 to 39, a discount of 3% is applied. When the
product quantity is from 40 to 50, a discount of 4% is applied. If the product quantity is
60 or more, then no discount is applied. When the product quantity is less than 20 then no
discount is applied.
To Scale (scale base quantity)
Scale
Scale Value
Rate
1
20
$4.99
2
40
$5.99
3
60
$6.99
When the product quantity is up to 20, a discount of $ 4.99 is applied. When the
product quantity is from 21 to 40, a discount of $5.99 is applied, and a discount of $6.99
is applied for the quantity from 41 to 60. When the product quantity is greater than 60, no
discount is applied.
Graduated Scale (scale base quantity)
Amount:
$1780
Scale
Scale Value
Rate
1
$1.60
-2.75 %
2
$99.00
-3.50 %
For the first $1600, a discount of 2.75% ($44) is applied, resulting in a total
value of $1736. For the remaining $180 (1780-1600) a discount of 3.5 % ($6.3) is applied.
This discount of 3.5% is applied to the amount after applying the first scale condition
discount ($1736 - $6.3), resulting in a total of $1729.70.
