Pricing Matrix Hierarchy Details

Use the pricing matrix hierarchy to define the pricing rules the system uses for determining product prices for buying and selling products.

The Eclipse pricing hierarchy checks the matrix beginning with the standard matrix cells. If the system encounters a contract matrix cell while searching the standard matrix cells, the sequence is temporarily interrupted while it checks the list of contract customers for the correct matrix cell. The system then checks the promotional matrix cells, and finally the default matrix cell. This standard hierarchy is affected by whether your organization uses the Best Price Check functionality, including the Best Price Check Through Matrix Celland Stop Best Price Check At First Valid Sell Groupcontrol maintenance records.

Note: The system requires you set up both sell and buy All/All matrix cells to avoid pricing and costing errors.

The following table shows the sequence the system follows when determining the price to use when a product is entered on a transaction.

Note: If a price or cost comes back as zero ($0.00) dollars from a matrix cell, the system considers the matrix cell invalid and skips it. If the formula on the matrix cell is intentionallyset to zero ($0.00), then the system uses the matrix.

If your pricing varies by branch or territory, the system also checks the matrix cells for each branch or territory, and then the branch/territory default before moving on to the next matrix cell.
