Definicja price point

Special type of set sales price.

In Retail, most price points consist of amounts that are fractionally lower than a round figure (for example, 1.99 USD). Price points are used because consumers perceive them to be cheaper. Wholesalers, on the other hand, tend to use round figures.

The sales price calculation function uses price points as targets for rounding; rounding a price calculated from planning data as 1.92 USD to 1.99 USD, for example.

Price points are first grouped into price point groups by price point area. These price point groups are then assigned to an organizational level/material group or to an article hierarchy node. A rule is also defined for the price point group that specifies how the price calculated with the sales price calculation function is to be rounded to the set price point of a price point area (rounded up or down, or to the nearest whole figure, for example).
