Given:
- An active pricing book per the desired vendor
- Corresponding to the desired equipment and grade group combination, there already exists a PRICE_PER quantity rule corresponding to the equipment and grade group
The combination of the following properties can be used to generate any number of unique sample & retain pricing rules.
- Grade group code: GRADE_TYPE (based on the categorization of grades)
- Equipment code: TANKER / BARGE
- Service code: SAMPLE_RETAIN
As an example, if a line entry in a price book reads as follows:
GRADE_GROUP_CLIENT_CODE | EQUIPMENT_CODE | SERVICE_CODE | GEO_REGION_CODE |
BITUMEN | BARGE | PRICE_PER | 10.00 |
BITUMEN | BARGE | SAMPLE_RETAIN | 53.50 |
NI will interpret the row with the SAMPLE_RETAIN rule as a cost to be associated to any Barge with any products belonging to the group Bitumen in the specified geo-region to estimate a cost of $53.50 per parcel.
To generate estimations based on the provided rule(s):
