The following summarizes how Prima calculates selling prices. These rules apply to both Prima itself, and to PrimaGO webstores from Version Number 6.2023.29.

 

The rules are numbered 1 to 8, where 1 is the highest priority and 8 is the lowest.

 

1. Featured/Special Price Product:

 

If the product is set to Featured/Special Price and is within the specified Expiry Date, then the Special Price entered against the Unit is used. Special prices will apply to all customers, unless Include Contract Price is ticked against the stock product. In this scenario, contract price will take priority if it's cheaper than the special price.

 

2. Customer's Standard Contract:

 

If a product exists on a Customer's Contract, then that price will be used.
 

 3. Customer's Parent Standard Contract:

 

This is the same as the Standard Contract option but when the item exists on the Customer's Parent Contract. The Parent is determined as the topmost Parent in the Parent – Child chain.


4. Price Break

If the item has been assigned a price break (discounted prices for when larger quantities are purchased), these prices will take effect AFTER any featured or contract prices. To set up price breaks see article: https://primaedge.freshdesk.com/a/solutions/articles/48001200915

 

5. Customer's PACT Contract:

 

As before, if the item exists against the Customers PACT Contract, then that Selling Price is used.

 

6. Customer's Parent PACT Contract:

 

If the item exists against the Customers Parent PACT Contract, then that price is used.


7. Direct Mailer Price:

 

If the Customer is ticked to Use Direct Mailer Pricing and the code entered exists within a Mailer assigned to the customer, and the code matches a code in that mailer's Mailer Code or Prefixed/Suffixed code column, then the mailer price is used.

 

8. NEW - Pricing Bands*:

 

If the Customer is ticked to Use Pricing Bands and the code entered has a pricing band assigned to the customer at a margin or discount, then this price will be used.

 

9. Cheapest Price from the following:
 

  • A Mailer Price if it's applied against the customer's account but they're not ticked to use direct mailer pricing.

 

  • If the item is a product, then the Product Unit's Selling Price is used. If the customer is a Cash Sales Customer, then the List price is used. Till customers will use the List price including tax.

 

  • If a customer has a pricing band applied, this will work out a margin of the cheapest cost price linked to the product. This can be from the cost price in the supplier tab, linked catalog product, or product unit and pricing tab.

 

  • If the item exists against a Catalog marked as ‘Best Pricing’ that is in date then either the Selling Price against the Catalog(s) or in the case of a Cash Sales Company, the List price from the Catalog(s) and the Catalog(s) is used.

 

  • If the Company is not a Cash Sales Company and the item exists in a Best Priced Catalog and the Default Pricing Band has been set against the Company, then this Discount/Margin off the Selling Price and the Catalog is in date.

 

*Use Pricing Bands is not available for customers who have not upgraded to 6.2023.29 or later
