Order Pricing

Overview

The Order Pricing module handles how prices are calculated for customer orders in our system. It consists of three main components:

1. Pricing Rules: Define how prices should be calculated based on different conditions
2. Pricing Groups: Pricing groups are used to group items together and apply pricing rules to them.
3. Pricing Group Mappings: Mapping customers item groups to stryde pricing groups.

Each of these components is explained in detail in their respective sections below.

Pricing Rules

Pricing Rules define how orders received on the system are priced based on various factors such as service type, delivery type, delivery area, pricing group. These rules ensure consistent pricing across all orders. Custom Pricing Rules can be created for specific customers.

Table Columns

Column	Description
Service Type	Type of service (Delivery, Installation, or Delivery & Installation)
Pricing Group	Pricing group (HA, AV, AC, Furniture, etc.)
Delivery Type	Timing of delivery (Same Day, Next Day, etc.)
Days From Delivery	Number of days from order to delivery (0 for same day)
Is Home Delivery?	Indicates if the service is for home or bulk delivery
Close Areas Rate	Price in KWD for deliveries within close proximity
Far Areas Rate	Price in KWD for deliveries to remote areas
SAP Service	Associated SAP service code
Company	Company the rule applies to (All or specific company)

Filtering Options

The table includes filtering capabilities where users can filter by:

• Service Type
• Pricing Group
• Delivery Type
• Is Home Delivery?
• SAP Service

Example Rule Interpretation

For instance, a typical rule reads as:

• Service Type: Delivery
• Pricing Group: HA (Home Appliances)
• Delivery Type: Same Day - Home
• Price: X KWD (Close Areas) / Y KWD (Far Areas)
• SAP Service: DEHD003

This means for each order item which has Service Type: Delivery, Pricing Group: HA, with the order having Delivery Type: Same Day - Home, the price will be X KWD for close areas and Y KWD for far areas. Pricing is calculated per unit quantity of the item.

Pricing Groups

Pricing Groups are used to categorize different types of products for pricing purposes. Each group represents a distinct product category with its own pricing rules and delivery considerations.

Table Columns

Column	Description

Available Pricing Groups

The system currently includes the following pricing groups:

1. Home Appliances (HA): Large household items like refrigerators, washing machines, etc.
2. Audio Visual (AV): Entertainment systems, speakers, televisions, etc.
3. Air Conditioning (AC): AC units and related equipment
4. Visual Display (VD): Commercial displays and professional visual equipment
5. Furniture: All types of furniture items

Using Pricing Groups

• Pricing groups are used in conjunction with pricing rules to determine delivery and installation costs
• Each product in the system must be assigned to a pricing group
• Different pricing rules can be applied to different pricing groups
• Groups help organize products for consistent pricing across similar items

Note: Pricing groups are fundamental to the pricing structure and should be carefully assigned to ensure accurate pricing calculations.
