iVend Retail follows a sequence of methods in attempting to resolve the price of a product stopping the search when it successfully matches the price to a product. For iVend Special Price Lists and Discount Groups are replicated from SAP Business One and cannot be setup in the Management Console.

Special Prices are defined either for the business partners or for the price lists. Further it can be applied for a particular period of time and for a specified quantity of the product. Discount Groups are the discounts which can be defined for a business partner.

The resolution order for pricing is as follows:

1)Special Prices for Business Partner - The system first picks the special price defined for business partner for a particular period of time AND/OR for a defined quantity of the product.  Special Price for Business Partner by Date AND/OR Quantity can be viewed in the Special Price List Date or Special List Quantity screens of the Management Console.

Following will be the impact of the Pricing Resolution Setup in Enterprise:

•       None: If set to None, then the pricing resolution order will be followed.

•       Solve to Lowest: If set to lowest, then the pricing resolution would go through the complete price resolution engine and then at the end pick up the lowest price available (or Highest discount available)

•       Solve to Highest: If set to highest, then the pricing resolution would go through the complete price resolution engine and then at the end pick up the highest price available (or lowest discount available)
