Re: Customer Order Pricing

   We are on 405 CD & have a history with earlier versions, all mixed mode so
   far.  We have had similar interests, but in our case we were interested in
   getting more decimal places, and in fixing some rounding errors in BPCS.

   1. Use Unit of Measure conversion to handle not the Inventory perspective
   but Accounting needs ... I hear tell that other folks might be able to use
   Currency or Item Classes for this
   2. Use Phantoms in BOM to convert # decimal places handled in different
   stages of operations
   3. Modify the Billing program to do the rounding of the final Invoice with
   number of decimal places desired ... and if you do this ... also check
   Post Ship Billing (a different program is invoked)

   WARNING ... We have had situations where DIFFERENT CUSTOMERS have
   different and conflicting demands upon us ... We able to comply, but then
   with personnel turnover, people can lose track of these special rules that
   only apply to certain customers, so be careful how you structure your
   solutions.

   We also use the Special Pricing.
   BPCS has more sophisticated Applications such as "Promotions and Deals"
   where Special Pricing is for companies without fancy needs.

   We'd like to have different pricing by combination of
   facility-customer-item which is not supported at 405 CD

   basically we have different sourcing and expediting rules by facility
   customer can choose to accept much longer lead times to get the parts
   cheaper

     We are on BPCS 6.01.01 mixed mode.
      
     When we do special pricing BPCS calculates out to 4 decimals, we would
     like
     it to stop at 2 decimals as this is what our customers want.
     I would like to know if anyone has a work around or has a solution to
     are
     pricing problem.
