Pricing Question - #1741846




Ran into a question on the extremely complex issue of understanding pricing options in Exploris - and wondering how we can get a simpler overview of the process. hen I talk with other jobbers it is amazing there is such a poor level of grasp on this subject.

Call # 1741846 has two parts == the image on the HELP BOOK in EXPLORIS is fuzzy and near impossible to read ( see CUSTOMERS>ACCOUNTS>PRICE PLAN on the help book ) the image is shown here ( click to enlarge )

Part # 2 is ... what does the box in CONTROLS>SYSTEM>GENERAL SETUP labeled 'BEST PRICE OVERRIDE' actually do and where is it represented in these fuzzy flowcharts? AND -- oh yes - there is more -- if you use CONTRACT PRICING --I am told that this option TRUMP
S ALL ... so if it does ...is it incorrectly shown in the flow process - should it be FIRST ?

UPDATE- Thur July21 - summary - if oyu are a jobber who wants to IGNORE the CQ billing schedules - click this box - otherwise leave blank and handle your exceptions some other way

Pricing is on huge complex system = and jobbers need to understand it .... help ???
