Unit price list
The first step when configuring unit pricing for customer contracts, is to define a 'library' of Unit price lists (UPLs). This can be done in the Unit price lists TSI. The standard price lists from the library can later be used as a starting point when specific contract price lists need to be created for a customer contract.
 | A typical use case for having multiple unit price lists in the library, is when you need different generic unit price lists per country or region. But of course there are many more conceivable criteria that can be applied to your library. |
Once a UPL is added to the library, you can link products and define product unit prices, for each product that may be relevant to your customer contracts. Products on the unit price list may include maintenance materials, spare parts or cleaning agents, but also catering products for example. In any case, the selection of products depends on the type of customers and/or regions you are defining the unit price list for. See Linked products for more information on the links.
When you are satisfied that a unit price list (and related data) is configured correctly, you can set its status from In preparation to Active. Unit price lists that are no longer relevant can be Ended and subsequently Archived.
Benefits: the use of a Unit price lists library will facilitate the work of sales and contract managers when they are linking products to a customer contract.
| | The Unit price list is just the starting point for your contract negotiations. Unit price lists can be linked to a customer contract for further customization. The actual product prices that will be agreed for a specific customer contract can therefore deviate from the standard price in the unit price list. These contractually agreed prices are defined by the contract price lists and their linked price list products and any product exceptions. |
