Volume Prices

WATCH THE VIDEO

Volume pricing is a pricing strategy that allows discounts for bulk purchases. Typically, the greater the number of products purchased the greater discount.

Volume prices are triggered in the shopping cart based on the business logic coming from SAP, and are shown on the product details page. This way a customer can see the pricing offers directly on the product details page, before ordering the product.

Those condition types which should be used for pricing and discounts calculations in your Sana webstore should be set up in the Pricing Calculation table. To access Pricing Calculation table, in the main menu of the Sana add-on, click Webstore Configuration. In the Webstore Id field, select your webstore and click on the Change Webstore Settings button at the top. Expand the Pricing & Payments area.

For more information, see Pricing Calculation.

To set up volume prices in SAP use the Change Condition (VK12) transaction and the PR00 condition type: VK12 > PR00 > Sales Org. /Distribution Channel/Plant/Sales Unit/Customer.

Select the necessary price condition record or create a new one and click Scales. Using the scale based pricing in SAP you can set up volume prices.

The table below provides the description of the fields in the Scales table.

Description

Scale quantity

Enter the quantity of products that a customer should purchase to gain the agreed discount.

Amount

Enter the unit price based on the quantity of products (for example, for 10 pieces the unit price will be 800,00).

If scale based prices are set for a product in SAP, then in the webstore on the product details page a customer will see a link View volume discount under the product price. Clicking on this link opens the table with volume discounts coming from SAP.

The link View volume discount is shown on the product details page using the View volume discount link content element.

The View volume discount table on the product details page presents the following information:

  • The minimum quantity of items that the customer should purchase in order to gain the agreed discount.

  • Unit of measure (UOM) the customer can order in.

  • The scale based price.
