Pricing Scenarios

Penny Perfect Pricing lets you model complex, ERP-style pricing procedures directly on the Order object. Rather than configuring Pricing Key Types, Search Strategies, Specifications, and Calculation Schemas in isolation, this section walks through common business scenarios end to end from configuration, to loading pricing data, to seeing the calculated result on an order. Each scenario builds on a single running example so you can trace one configuration choice through to its effect on price.

Example used throughout this section: Acme Fabrication is a B2B customer that orders Steel Bracket A100 in bulk. The standard list price for Steel Bracket A100 is $120 per unit, but Acme Fabrication has a negotiated customer-specific price of $95 per unit. Acme Fabrication also qualifies for a 10% volume discount, and for an additional value-based discount once an order's total value crosses $1,000.

• Apply a Product's List Price
  Configure a fallback search so an order uses a customer-specific price when one exists, and the product's standard list price otherwise.
• Apply a Percentage Discount Off the List Price
  Calculate a discount against the result of a prior pricing step, instead of against the raw order value.
• Apply a Value-Based Scale Discount
  Give customers a bigger discount as their order value crosses set thresholds.
