DBC: Price Adjustments

Enable Price Adjustments for the Company

The first step is to enable Price Adjustments for the company in Distributor Admin. This permission is found in the "Work With Companies." Edit the company needed. On the Company Information section, click the radial button to enable the "Group-based Price Adjustment."

Create a New Price Adjustment

Log on to the customer site as an admin user. Click on the "Work With Price Adjustments," and then click on the "Create a new price adjustment" link.

To create a new price adjustment:

1. Select the group(s) that the new price adjustment applies to.

2. Using the Get Catalogs or Items dropdown box, select the type of price adjustment. Then click on the "Show available catalogs and/or items" button to display a list of catalogs and/or items from the selected groups.

   a. If the adjustment applies to a specific catalog or an item in a specific catalog, select the Get catalogs with items option. This will display as:

   
   

   

   b. If the adjustment applies to a specific item (regardless of which catalog), select the Get items only option. This will display as:

3. Select a catalog or item(s) the adjustment applies to. Use the “minus” sign by the catalog names to expand them.

4. Checking the Turn pricing display off suppresses the price display of the item(s).
5. Enter a Description for this price adjustment.
6. Designate if this adjustment should be an increase or decrease.
7. If the adjustment is a flat adjustment, the value of the 'Amount' must be a dollar value (without the '$' sign). If the percentage adjustment option is checked, then the value of the amount must be between 0% and 100% (without the '%' sign).
8. Enter in the date the adjustment should become effective. This date may be a past or future date. The adjustment will take place at midnight when it becomes this date.

Note: When price adjustments are used, they will trigger a manual order entry when orders are placed. You will be responsible for entering the order in your back-office. If you would rather not receive manual order requests, you can tell DB/c not to send the request.

Also, the price will not transmit to your back-office. You will be responsible for adjusting the pricing in your back office unless you set the parameter “Send Price to WebEC?” to Allow.

Don’t Send Manual Entry for Price Adjustments

In distributor admin, go to "Work With Companies," select your company, and edit. Change the "Send Manual Entry for Price Adjustments" from the default of Send to Don’t Send. This is located directly beneath the "Group-based Price Adjustment Enable" option.

Send Price to WebEC

In distributor admin, go to "Work With Companies," select your company, and edit. Change the "Send Price to WebEC" to Allow to have the adjusted price send from the site into your back-office.

If you are using DB/d, under the main customer record in the "Customer Default Data" area, there is a section (in GUI only) for "Sales Journal Bypass Custom Item Master Update." You will most likely want to make sure that the Price option has the checkbox checked on. This will make sure that the adjusted price from the website does not update the custom item master record to be the new "default" sales price.

Edit and Delete Existing Price Adjustment

Upon entering "Work With Price Adjustments" on the customer admin site, you will see a list of existing price adjustments, along with their basic information. You can use the Edit link to make modifications to any specific price adjustment, or you can use the Delete link to remove any price adjustments.
