Omni Price and Promotions that Add Quantities, Add Items, or that have Tier Pricing

Subject:

 

The information here describes how Omni Price works with promotions that add quantities or items and promotions that have tier pricing.

 

Information:

 

Omni Price can change pricing by altering the Unit Price or adding a Markdown Amount or Percentage. It works on a single line in a transaction basis.

 

Omni Price is currently not designed to do the following:

 

  • Add item quantity on Sales Order Processing (SOP) or Invoicing transactions for promotions such as buy 2, get 1 free. (See Workaround 1 below.)
  • Add another item on SOP or Invoicing transactions for promotions such as buy2, get 1 another item free. (See Workaround 2 below.)
  • Tier pricing on SOP or Invoicing transactions for promotions such as first 100 quantities on the line item are priced at $1.00/EA, the next 101-200 quantities on the same line item are priced at $0.75, and so on.
  • Multiple tier pricing on SOP or Invoicing transactions for promotions such as an item is priced at 30% markup and for specific customers that order that item, they receive a 10% discount. (See Workaround 3 below.)

 

Workaround 1:

 

Example: Buy 2 of Item A, and receive Item B for free.

 

  • Create a Kit Item in Inventory that contains both Item A and Item B.
  • Create an Omni Price contract for the Kit Item and assign the special price to the Kit item.
  • Sell the Kit Item to the customer.

 

Workaround 2:

 

Example: Buy 2 of Item C, and receive a third quantity of Item C for free. Item C is $10.00, but if the customer purchases 2 Item C’s, the 3rd one is free.

 

  • Create an Omni Price contract with the following:
    • Item C quantities 1-2 using the Pricing Mode of No Special Pricing to default $10.00 per quantity.
    • Item C quantities 3-3 using the Pricing Mode of Fixed Price and assign a price of $20.00.
  • Sell Item C for 3 quantities on the Sales Transaction and the Fixed Price would be $20.00 (2*$10.00 plus one free Item C).

 

Workaround 3:

 

Example: An item is priced at 30% markup and for specific customers that order that item, they receive a 10% discount

 

  • Option 1: Offer the item to the specific customer range for a 20% markup.
  • Option 2: Apply the 30% markup in the Microsoft Dynamics GP pricing, then create an Omni Price contract where you can apply the 10% discount to specific customer range for that item(s).
