Hi,

 

what’s the easiest method to update the prices of certain characteristics?

 

We have a configuration price list. There is a charachteristic ‘Color’, with the option ‘Yellow’. Let’s say we want to increase the price of the Yellow in every price list with 2%, how can this be done?

 

I don’t see the same logic as with the base price update and the corresponding update of the price lists, as the charecterics are not in the base price?

 

Thanks!

Hi @First Employee , not sure which IFS track you are in. In the new features of 21R2, this was well explained. In summary, 

In Basic Bata, a few new fields are introduced where the configuration characteristics group can be connected to characteristic group. 

 

Price adjustments can be done when configurations are created or edited in Business Opportunity,
Sales Quotation or Customer Order. Price can be adjusted using three options:

●Adjust All Characteristic Prices
●Adjust Characteristic Prices by Group
●Adjust Total Price
 
‘Allow override’ in Sales Part is introduced to check if a specific characteristic price can be overridden during configuration. 
 
You may watch the following webinar for detailed explanation. From 40:13, this topic is discussed. 
 

Hi @Asela Munasinghe , 

I also have the same issue with another Customer. The price adjustment functionality you explained above allows to adjust the pricing on a specific configuration, this is on ad-hoc basis. 

What about regular yearly updates of pricing?

Through the price list, it is possible to quickly update all its part prices with a 2% offset increase for example. But characteristics included in the price list are not updated through this offset, which looks like a bug, or a piece of functionality that has been missed off?

Any help on this would be much appreciated.

Hi,

Periodic price updates of multiple characteristic values are an issue in standard functionality.  Where you have multiple sales parts with repeating characteristics, all having the same prices for each value, then applying the same manual update in each Sales Parts’ Configuration Pricing can be frustrating.   This frustration is amplified further if you are also using customer specific configuration pricing. 

As far as I am aware the only way to simplify this process is via a data migration process to first extract the configuration price data from IFS, apply the updates using excel formulars and then migrate the new prices back into IFS.

Given the rich functionality for managing updates to the sales part base prices and price lists, we can hope that IFS will extend this functionality to configuration pricing. 

Regards

Jeremy
