Defining Cluster Differences
Use
Within a location price cluster you can define:
Differences between each location
Differences between the prices of the different materials sold at each location
These differences are used as offsets during price maintenance, so that when you copy a price to a cluster, the differences are automatically applied to the proposals for new prices. For more information, see Two-Dimensional Price Maintenance .
