Price & discount

The Price in IP1 is derived from the following sources:

1. Promotion Package – the initial/backup price and/or discount for the conditions defined
   in the Promotional package setup. The initial price and/or discount applies to the first
   order (order must have the Promotion ID on it) while the subsequent orders during the
   promotion use the backup price and/or discount. However, if multiple promotion orders
   are allowed and these orders have Promotion ID on the order then the initial price and/or
   discount will be applied.
2. Special Price – Special price for each customer level defined in the Special price file by
   effective period.
3. Order Form – Order Form price
4. Direct Mail – Direct Mail price
5. Normal price – Normal price

The search sequence and the Price selection keys in control file TMSDS/SEQ-PRC determines
which of the above price source to be used.

The system can be configured to search for the lowest possible price. Control files TMSDS/PR
LOW and TMSDS/SEQ-PRC must be configured to allow search for a lower price.

If   TMSDS/PR-LOW = 1 and End = 0 (column J) in TMSDS/SEQ-PRC for the defined search
sequences, then the system will continue searching for the lowest possible price.

Note: If a matching promotional price is found and the system is configured to search for the
lowest price, it will only search Normal Price and use the lower price of the two. It will skip
searching for special price, direct mail price or order form price even if defined in the search
sequence.
TMSDS/TR-TOS can be setup to sell at zero price and discount, e.g., for complimentary items
etc.

During order entry, the system will check the line item TOS and will override the price and discount
to zero if it’s configured in the above control file.
Note: Manual price and/or discount override during order entry will take precedence over all
except for Bonus Incentives.

The Discount comes from 3 sources:

1. Promotion Package discount- the initial/backup discount for the conditions defined in
   the Promotional package setup. Promotion Package discount can be defined with non
   zero price or zero price. If Promotion Package discount has zero price, then Promotion
   Package discount will apply to the normal price.
2. Special Price discount- Special discount for each customer level defined in the Special
   price file by effective period.
3. Normal discount

Note: Order Form and Direct Mail have their own special price and do not have any discounts.
Special Price discount and Normal discount have discount accumulation codes to accumulate
applicable discounts to give a customer more than one discount if required. The discount
accumulation is based on the following accumulation codes.

Apart from above discounts, Order based bonus reward options created either
for Coupons, Promotional Packages or Direct Mail campaign lists can affect the order line
discount. These rewards are given by means of discount rate override or an additional discount
on an order line as set up in TMSDS/BO-RWDOP.

Reward rules:

1. 6 = % off each line
   This gives an additional discount on top of normal discount.
2. 9 = Override discount online
   This will apply if it is more than the applicable normal discount.
