An organization may use a Pricing Object instead of the standard Pricing Matrix or a Price Rule to implement the required price selection logic for a product. In this case, a developer creates the pricing object with the desired logic in Visual Studio .NET and adds the compiled object to Aptify's Object Repository. When a pricing object is specified, the system uses the pricing object only and ignores any pricing matrix or pricing rules.
The following is an overview of the process for creating a new Pricing Object and associating it with a product:
Confirm that the pricing object operates as expected by adding the product to a new test order.
If the logic in a pricing object applies to all products in a particular category, you can specify this object at the Product Category level. Whenever a new product or sub-category is added to that category, Aptify automatically flows down the pricing object information to the new record. See Specifying Category Level Pricing for details. |
