dynamic pricing with MDM?

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

we are currently proposing for a new customer that is asking for a catalog with dynamic pricing (dependent on product amount). I've been checking some MDM info material and only found rare information if this is configurable while enrichment of catalog data.

Can anybody clearly state if it is possible to enter discount scales and where I can find specific information (any config guide for data enrichment).

Thanks a lot in advance!

Cheers,

Hi,

This can be achieved either calculated field or assignments.Using assignment u can write the assignment expression based on product amount.Say there are fields like original price,discount,quantity,final amount.The expression can be as

final amount =original pricequantity- ((original pricequantity*discount)/100).Assign this value to field final price .u can run the assignment manuaaly or through workflow using assign step.start-Assign-stop.

In assign step enter the assignment name.

Hi Richard,

I guess it can be possible through a calculated field. You can create a field price in MDM which will be a calculated field. In the expession for this field you can write something like (Price Per Unit) * (No. of units) - (Price Per Unit) * (No. of units) * (Discount) / 100.

Here Price Per Unit, No. of units and discount are the fields in your repository.

Hope this will work.

Regards,

Dheeraj.
