Pricing Components in Unified Pricing Management

 

Unified Pricing Management (UPM) determines pricing based on several key components:

 

  • Price Attributes – These provide a flexible way to define pricing factors by using data from customers, products, sales order headers, and sales order lines. Since they integrate with the customer and product attribute framework, they are highly customizable. Additionally, extension points are available for further modifications.

 

  • Price Component Codes – These serve as the foundational elements of the pricing structure by grouping related price attributes. When setting up price and discount rules, each rule is assigned to a specific price component code.

 

  • Price Structures – These define the order in which price component codes are applied. A company can use a single price structure or multiple structures based on different order attributes. The embedded pricing logic ensures that a base price is established before any adjustments are applied (Base Price + Adjustments = Final Selling Price).

 

  • Concurrency Modes – These determine how the final price is calculated when multiple pricing rules apply to the same price component code, ensuring accurate price determination. 

 

In summary, Unified Pricing Management (UPM) in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management provides a structured and flexible approach to pricing.

 

By leveraging price attributes, component codes, structured pricing logic, and concurrency modes, businesses can ensure consistency, transparency, and adaptability in their pricing strategies.

 

This comprehensive system not only streamlines pricing operations but also enhances accuracy and competitiveness across multiple sales channels.
