Product Pricing Overview

When you create a product record in Product Maintenance or by adding a product through an automatic price update, the system uses the following criteria to determine the correct price or cost for the product:

• Buy and sell groups - Classify buying and selling criteria into groups of products.

• Discount classes - Assign each formula a price sheet discount class when price sheets have different pricing formulas for different items.

• Commission groups - Assign products to commission groups if you calculate commissions on products.

• Package quantities - Assign a sell package quantity for a product at each branch.

• Freight charges and freight factors - Assign a freight charge to be added to a sales order each time a product is ordered from a branch.

• Quantity breaks - Assign quantity breaks at the product level to encourage increased sales for some products.
