Our company is looking to define certain percentage discounts to our distributors based on specific product lines we offer.
We are currently utilizing the Price Level and Discount Rate fields in Customer Maintenance but want to move away from having use the Discount Rate entirely. The problem is we have too many permutations of percentage discounts for our distributors than characters to create price levels.
For instance, say we have 100 different product lines with 40 different price codes. Each price code has a different break quantity and percentage discount at each tier. We then have 75 distributors each with a unique combination of discounts based on the price codes (company "Alpha" gets 15% of Price Codes AAA and BBB, but company "Beta" gets 20% off AAA and 15% off BBB - we would set two different price levels for those distributors).
What we would like to do is ultimately have a code that specifies this discount for this product line (or price code) and apply those codes (one or more) to each customer. Otherwise, something similar to the price levels where we can create a greater number of permuations of percentage discounts per product line (or price code) and apply those codes to the customer.
I've found an extended solution called "Price Level by Customer/Product Line (SO-1005)" and wondered how this differed from what we are currently using and whether or not this solution would help solve our problem. Any help or information on other MAS options is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
