Item Prices and Line Discounts

Sana being the ERP integrated e-commerce solution uses pricing logic of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. This means that all prices are managed and calculated real-time in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central you can set up:

• Unit price - the standard price of an item.

• Sales price - the sales price of an item for all customers, for a customer discount group, or for a specific customer based on the agreements reached between a customer and a merchant.

• Sales line discount - the discount that applies to the sales / unit price of an item. It can be set for all customers, for a customer discount group, or for a specific customer based on the agreements reached between a customer and a shop owner.

Using sales prices and sales line discounts, you can also set up volume prices.

The item price and discounts are shown on the product details page using the Product price and Product discounts content elements.

When a customer creates an order, the price that will be used for an item is based on priority. First, the system checks if there is a sales line discount and applies it to the sales price if it exists, or to the unit price, if there is no sales price. If there is no sales line discount, the system will search for a sales price. If there is no sales price that matches the criteria, the unit price will be used for an item.

Price Rounding Precision

If you need to round item prices, you can use price rounding precision in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. It determines the fixed number of decimal places to which an item price is rounded. For example, if an item price is 5.758 $, it can be rounded to 5.76 $.

This functionality is especially useful for merchants who sell small components that are used in construction or repair, such as screws, bolts, nuts, etc. which prices are cheap, however these items are usually bought in large quantity, therefore the rounded item price has a great influence on the total order amount.

Configure Price Rounding Precision

Sana Commerce Cloud supports:

• Invoice Rounding Precision

• Unit-Amount Rounding Precision

These are two standard options in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central open the General Ledger Setup window. On the General FastTab, use the Inv. Rounding Precision ($) and Unit-Amount Rounding Precision ($) fields to specify the size of the interval used to round item prices. This is the default setup for both options.

In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central the price rounding precision can be configured per currency. Open the Currencies window and specify rounding precision for the required currencies.

Choose Price Rounding Precision for Your Webshop

In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central click on the search button and enter Webshops.

On the Webshop Card, on the Pricing FastTab, you can choose which rounding precision to use for the Sana webshop. The available options are:

• Invoice Rounding Precision – This option is set by default. It allows to display the item price with two decimal places in the Sana webshop.

• Unit-Amount Rounding Precision – This option allows to display the item price with three and more decimal places in the Sana webshop.

The option you select will be used for all item prices in the Sana webshop. Only the totals in the shopping cart and sales documents are always shown with two decimal places using invoice rounding precision, regardless of the selected option on the Webshop Card.
