Enter Part Step Pricing for Supplier Agreement
Explanation
Use this function to enter step pricing for parts on supplier agreements.
Part step pricing is used when you receive better terms for purchasing more
from the supplier, i.e. if you purchase more, you could receive a lower price,
a better discount, and/or lower additional costs.
Step pricing could be setup in two different ways. Either using the step
pricing basis Cumulative, which means that the aggregated purchases for
the part and period is used as a basis for the step pricing. If the step pricing
basis is Order Line, it will be the quantity of each order
line that decides which step price to use. Note that
Part step pricing is specified for the supplier agreement and purchase part
combination. The part step pricing can be valid either for one site or for all
sites specified in the supplier agreement. If you want the part step pricing
to be valid for one specific site, enter this site in the Site field on Parts
line in the agreement. It is possible to enter site-specific part step pricing
for the same part on several sites. A site-dependent part step pricing will
always be retrieved before a part step pricing valid for all sites is retrieved.
Prerequisites
- A purchase part must have been entered and saved on the supplier agreement.
- The purchase part, as well as the combination of purchase part and supplier,
must be entered on the site-s that the Part Step Pricing is valid for. Note
that for an agreement that is valid for a supplier hierarchy, it is enough
if there is a supplier for purchase part connection for any of the subordinate
suppliers in the hierarchy.
- If the Object Level option has been enabled under Supplier Tax
Code Validations in Company/Tax Control/General, a tax code
must have been defined for the supplier for purchase part.
- If the part step pricing should be applied for several sites, the supplier
agreement must be set as a Group Agreement and sites should be entered in
Valid Sites tab.
System Effects
- The part step pricing is used if the supplier agreement is allowed to
be used for purchasing. The part step pricing will be retrieved, based on
the basis for the step pricing. If Order Line is selected the order
line quantity will be considered and if Cumulative is selected, the
cumulative quantity for the period, including the current purchase order
line, will be considered.
