Price Tiers

There are a bunch of different pricing structures used in the industry, and at GoSimple we aim to support all of them if possible.

Our pricing system supports multiple Price Tiers, and an order can be set as to which we look into for a price 1st, 2nd, 3rd…etc. Using the order specified by our client, we will look into the stack of Price Tiers until we find a match.

First, some notes about how Price Tiers work.

1. They are temporal, meaning if the price changes for a specific key, we store a new row with a column denoting when it went into effect.
2. For each key we are given a price, and a UOM that price corresponds to.

Lets go over the current supported Price Tiers, and their key:

• Price Default - Product
  • Allows specifying a single price for a product. This can be sent directly on the product feed.
• Price List - Product, Date Range, Cost Basis Type
  • Allows specifying a price for a product by different time periods, and cost basis types. This is sent in it's own feed.
• Price Class - Product, Price Class(ifier), Date Range, Cost Basis Type
  • Allows specifying a price for a product by price classifier, different time periods, and cost basis types. Price Classifiers can be created in an admin screen, and a companies' bucketed into Price Classifiers, pricing can then be set up at the Price Classifier. For clients with a large number of companies and products, we advise using this. Gives the same level of detail as Price Company and Price Sale. This is sent in it's own feed.
• Price Company - Product, Company, Date Range, Cost Basis Type
  • Allows specifying a price for a product by company, different time periods, and cost basis types. For clients with a large number of companies and products, this is not advised. Gives the same level of detail as Price Class and Price Sale. This is sent in it's own feed.
• Price Sale - Product, Company, Date Range, Cost Basis Type
  • Allows specifying a price for a product by company, different time periods, and cost basis types. Gives the same level of detail as Price Class and Price Company. This is generated from sale data sent by the client.
