Upgrade Product Table Building Process in Support of the New Contract Pricing Feature

Please consider upgrading the Product Table Building Process in Support of the New Contract Pricing Feature.

DPT = Decoration Price Table

I am ecstatic about the possibilities the Contract Pricing Levels Offer and like the way DN structured it.

One thought I have is that we are trading the need for duplicate products for the need for duplicate product tables.  This is a way better challenge than managing duplicate products, but still somewhat tedious and time consuming.

The good news is I have a great idea for solving the tedious nature of making duplicate product tables more efficient!

High Level Business Process:

• Think in terms of Decoration Price Table Sets (DPT). One price table with several increase/discount levels.
• Set-up a Base Price Table.  This price table could be the dealer/manufacturer cost to decorate an item.
• Duplicate the Base Cost Table to create a DPT to support a Contract Price Level
• Use a DPT Mark-Up Feature to mark-up the price table by a % or $ amount.
• Business Benefit: Eliminates the need to have a complicated spreadsheet with all of the pricing variables and then type each DPT in individually.
• Business Benefit: Simplifies/speeds up the process of updating a set of DPTs that can happen as frequently as 1-2 times per year.
• Business Benefit: Fast and nimble is always better!
