Maintaining Cluster Prices

Purpose

Use

A location cluster is a group of service stations that share characteristics that allow them to be grouped together for pricing purposes. For example, a cluster may include all locations within a region, or locations that share the same competitors.

SSR provides a price maintenance screen that allows you to display and maintain prices within a location and copy changes for one location to the other locations in the cluster, applying any differences defined in Pricing Master Data maintenance. For more information, see Defining Cluster Differences .

You can define your own price maintenance screens. For more information, see Two-Dimensional Price Maintenance Tool .
