Defining Pricing Variance for XML Customer Transactions

For each customer you do business with using XML, you can select whether to use the pricing information defined in Eclipse, or the pricing information the customer sends to you in an XML document for a transaction. In addition, you can set an acceptable dollar amount or a percentage range in which the price can differ and still use the customer's pricing information. Set the following to set the pricing variance for XML customer transactions:

If the Use Partner Pricing parameter is set in the order document details for this customer, the system uses the setting as defined in the order document details rather than the setting in Customer Maintenance for XML transactions. However, other remote transactions still use the Customer Maintenance parameter setting.

To set the partner pricing parameter for a customer:

  1. From the File menu, select Customer to display the Customer Maintenance screen and open a customer record.

  2. Use the Remote hot key to display the Remote Order Entry Parameters screen.

  3. Use the WOE Info hot key to display the B2B/WOE Remote Order Entry Parameters screen.

  4. Use the IDMS hot key to display the IDMS-XML Parameters screen.

  5. In the Use Partner Pricing field, enter Y to indicate that you want to use the pricing information the customer sends to you with an order.

  6. Press Esc until you return to the Remote Order Entry Parameters screen.

  7. Continue with the next procedure.

To set the allowed variance in pricing:

  1. Complete the previous procedure.

  2. In the Allowed Pricing Variance % field, press F10 and select Dollar Amt or Percentage to indicate the measurement type for the pricing variance.

  3. Enter the dollar amount or percentage in which a customer's pricing information is allowed to differ from the pricing defined in Eclipse.

If the difference between the customer's pricing information and that defined in Eclipse is outside the range that you enter here, the system uses the pricing information defined in Eclipse.

Note: The variance you enter in this field is the variance the system uses for all remote order entry transactions, not just XML transactions. However, if the pricing parameter is not set, the variance does not apply to XML transactions.

  1. Press Esc to return to the Customer Maintenance screen.

  2. Press Esc to save the record and exit the screen.
