Pricing: Numeric List Example

Pricing > Pricing: Numeric List Example

Assume the product structure of item 01040 has ten Alkaline, six Nickel Cadmium, and four Lithium Sulphur batteries. In this scenario, we want the price of these batteries in the configuration price. One approach is to use a numeric list type variable where the variable options specify the required quantities.

Exercise 35: Pricing With Numeric Lists

Run Variable Maintenance and create the following variable.


Variable	Data Type	Extent	Functional Group	Question Type	Short Question	Question/ Temporary
battery-type	Numeric List	1	Accessories	Normal	Battery Type	Question

Enter the following values on the Variable Options tab


Seq	Option	Short Answer	Pricing Part	Qty Based	UM
1	10	Alkaline	60021	Selected	EA
2	6	NiCadmium	60023	Selected	EA
3	4	Lithium	60022	Selected	EA
4	100	N.A		Not selected

Run Feature Maintenance and make this new variable a feature of item 01040.

Note: Select Std Options so the variable options are copied to the feature.

Run Item Rule Maintenance and enter the following rule.


Item	Rule ID	Rule
01040	IR-010	If backup = No then battery-type = 100 else battery-type <> 100

Start the Configuration Analyzer and analyze item 01040.

Now run Configuration Questionnaire for item 01040 and select New Configuration.

Answer the questions for backup and battery type.

• The batteries have a pricing quantity of 10, 6 and 4.

• The option N.A. does not have a linked pricing part and therefore does not have a price.

Note: The purpose of this exercise is to provide an example of a numeric list type variable and the quantity-based pricing function. You can delete item rule IR-010 and feature battery-type as they are no longer needed in this training.
