Pricing profiles can be managed from the "Pricing Profiles" administrative menu item.
Once you navigate to "Pricing Profiles" you will be shown a list of all pricing profiles
You can search using the "Search" box at the top of the screen.
To perform an action on a pricing profile click the Actions menu on the right of the screen.
There are a number of options available in the actions menu:
Editing Pricing Profiles
Select edit from the actions menu.
Pricing rules can be added, modified, or removed from the pricing profile. Large pricing profiles can be searched using the search box at the right side of the screen.
Pricing Rule Types
There are three types of pricing rules:
Discount: Pricing will be calculated as a percentage discount off of the NAGS list price. Example: 60% off of list
Flat: Pricing will be a flat amount regardless of item quantity. Example: $120 flat labor
Each: Pricing will be a set price per item. Example: $20 per kit
Tiered: For advanced situations. See bottom of article
Pricing Rule Patterns
Pricing profiles are built using "patterns" and "rules". The quoting engine will search from most specific to least specific rule when determining which rule to apply. Consider the following example:
With the above rules, a customer searching for any vehicle using a DW01659 will be quoted $80 flat for the glass item. Any other part beginning with DW would be quoted using a 55% discount off of list.
The wildcard character (*) will act as a catch-all for any item that does not match any other rule.
Uploading a CSV file
For large or more complicated pricing profiles it may be advantageous to create and manage the rules in a tool such as Microsoft Excel. To import these files into Omega the files must be saved as a CSV file with the following characteristics:
String fields enclosed with double quotes (")
Fields delimited by a comma (,)
Rows separated by the newline character (\n) or carriage return (\r\n)
Rule types are given a numeric identifier as follows:
1: Each
2: Discount
3: Flat
An example of a valid CSV file can be downloaded here.
Tiered Rules
Tiered values work a bit differently from the above examples. There are several types of Tiered rules that will appear after toggling advanced at the top of the Pricing profile. Those rules are:
Quantity Tiered - Each
Tiered Markup - Flat and Percentage
Vendor Cost Tiered - Markup Flat and Percentage
Quantity Tiered
Click the 'Rule Tiers" button to open the window showing the tiers for parts matching this pattern.
In the example above, this means that if there was a quantity of six DW01659 parts on a job, the first four would be priced at $25, and the fifth and sixth would be priced at $10. In the Job itself, this total price would be calculated, then list the quantity as "1" with the total price of $120 ( (4 x $25) + (2 x $10) ). Were the quantity to exceed the last row, that last row's rule is applied. E.g. If there were a quantity of 10, the fifth through tenth would all be priced at $10.
Tiered Markup
Tiered Markup pricing rules are much simpler. If the list price of the part falls within a specific range, the markup on the right is applied. In the above example, if the list price was $100 or under, there would be a flat markup of $15. If it was $101 or greater, it would be marked up by $30.
When using a vendor-based version (PGW or Mygrant as of now) it bases off of the cost of the part, rather than the list price.
