CINCH Customer Documentation

Chapter 5_Extended Pricing

This chapter describes enhancements made to call Dynamics GP Extended Pricing instead of the Cinch Modified Dynamics GP standard pricing.
This chapter contains the following sections:


Extended Pricing
Cinch Sales has been modified to use Microsoft Dynamics GP Extended Pricing when enabled (Tools>Setup>Sales>Extended Pricing). Refer to Microsoft Dynamics GP Inventory Control, Extended Pricing for information on setting up Extended Pricing.

  1. When GP Extended Pricing is enabled the system will search pricing information as follows.

    1. The system searches item-specific pricing for a price in the price sheets assigned directly to the customer first. Then, the system searches the price sheets in the price book assigned to the customer, and finally it searches base price book.

    2. If no item-specific pricing is found, the system searches for a price group that includes the item. Price sheets assigned directly to the customer are searched first, followed by price sheets in the customer's price book, and finally the base price book.

    3. If an adjusted value-off or percent of list price is found, the rest of the pricing structure is searched for a list price to apply the discount to. For example, if there's a value-off price in a price sheet assigned to the customer, the customer's price book and the base price book are searched for a list price.

    4. It is possible for the final price to be the result of two adjustments applied to the base price. For example, a customer sheet might give 2 percent off the customer price book price, which is itself 5 percent off the base price.

  2. When multiple Price Sheets exist the following is used:

    1. If there is more than one current price sheet, the one which starts most recently is used in price calculation.

    2. If two price sheets start on the same date, the one which finishes earlier is used in price calculations.

    3. If the same item is found in two price sheets with identical start and end dates, you will receive an alert message because system will be unable to calculate a price.


New Price List Maintenance
Price List Maintenance has been created to provide the ability to add/update/delete item prices on a Price Level.
