Product Prices and Line Discounts

WATCH THE VIDEO

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

In Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations you can set up:

• Base sales price - the standard price of a product.

• Price (sales) - the sales price of a product for all customers, for a customer price group, or for a specific customer based on the trade agreements reached between a customer and a merchant.

• Line discount (sales) - the discount that applies to the sales / base price of a product. It can be set for all customers, for a customer price group, or for a specific customer based on the trade agreements reached between a customer and a merchant.

Using trade agreements (sales prices and sales line discounts), you can also set up volume prices.

The product 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 a product is based on priority. First, the system checks if there is a trade agreement with a Line discount (sales) and applies it to the Price (sales) if it exists, or to the Base sales price, if there is no Price (sales). If there is no trade agreement with a Line discount (sales), the system will search for a trade agreement with a Price (sales). If there is no trade agreement with a Price (sales) that matches the criteria, the Base sales price will be used for a product.

Set Up Base Sales Price for a Product

Step 1: Open the necessary product.

Step 2: On the Sell FastTab, in the Base sales price section, enter the Price of a product.

Create Trade Agreements

Trade agreements are fixed price or discount agreements that are set up for one or more customers for the sale of individual or multiple products. They are applied to orders according to a set of built-in rules to determine the valid price and / or discount.

Using trade agreements, you can set up:

• Price (sales)

• Line discount (Sales)

• Multiline discount (Sales)

• Total discount (Sales)

Price and discount rules in the trade agreements can be set up for:

• A specific customer

• A group of customers

• All customers

Price and discount rules can be set for:

• A specific product

• A group of products

• All products

To use trade agreements, you must first activate those combinations of items and customers that you need. You can activate price and discounts to create trade agreements here: Modules > Sales and marketing > Setup > Prices and discounts > Activate price / discount.

For more information, read the official Microsoft documentation Trade agreements.
