Access Sequence for Determining Price Point Groups 

Use

To reduce the work involved in assigning price point groups, an access sequence that is dependent on the price point group assignment category exists to determine price point groups.

Features

Access sequence for assignment to the article hierarchy

Price point group determination always starts with the hierarchy node to which the relevant article is assigned. If the article hierarchy allows multiple assignments, the system uses the hierarchy node that is the main assignment of the article as the starting point. If this hierarchy node does not have a price point group, the system performs an ascending search for hierarchy nodes with assigned price point groups. If the system does not find a price point group, the search ends when it reaches the top hierarchy level.

If the system determines the price point group, it takes the Price Point Category and Ranking Type parameters into account.

If you reassign a hierarchy article node, the system retains the assignments of price point groups for the different price point categories and ranking types. If no price point group is assigned to the node for a combination of price point category and ranking type, the system uses the access sequence to determine whether the price point group is changed when the node is reassigned. If the system does identify changes, you can specify that the price point groups that the access sequence determined for the original hierarchy item of the node will still be valid. The system assigns the price point groups determined with the access sequence explicitly to the node.

Access sequence for assignment to organizational levels/merchandise categories

The access sequence used for assignments to organizational levels/merchandise categories depends on whether you are performing a calculation with or without price lists.

·        Calculation with price lists:

¡        Access with complete key, distribution chain, merchandise category, and price list

¡        Access with distribution chain, current merchandise category, and initial price list

¡        Access with distribution chain, current price list, and initial merchandise category

¡        Access with distribution chain, initial price list, and initial merchandise category

·        Calculation without price lists:

¡        Access with distribution chain and current merchandise category

¡        Access with distribution chain and initial merchandise category
