The Miscellaneous Item|Pricing page defines the pricing for the miscellaneous item. You can define prices by user role and specify how charges are calculated if you have the permission to do so. Unlike service charges, you cannot specify multiple prices per user role. Price and charge information is tied to the version of the miscellaneous item and cannot be modified unless the version is effective in the future. Versions provide you with the means to change the membership and pricing for a miscellaneous item, while maintaining a complete record of all previous versions. For more information, refer to Creating a Miscellaneous Item Version.
To define the pricing of a miscellaneous item, complete the following:
- Open the Product Configuration application from the AudienceView Desktop.
- Select the Miscellaneous Items tab.
The Miscellaneous Items|Search page appears.
- Search for and select the miscellaneous item that you want to work with. For more information, refer to the Product Configuration Miscellaneous Items-Search Page and Performing Searches.
The Miscellaneous Items|Details page appears.
- If you want to modify the pricing for a version that is currently in effect, create a new version. For more information, refer to Creating a Miscellaneous Item Version.
- Select the Pricing tab.
The Miscellaneous Items|Pricing page appears.
- In the miscellaneous item pricing section, specify the charge details:
- From the 'Available Charges' list, select the charges that apply.
To select more than one user role, hold CTRL or SHIFT while making your selections. To remove an item from the Included, Inside or Additional charges list, click the item and click '<<'.
- To move the selected item(s) to the Included Charges, Inside Charges or Additional Charges list, click '>>' next to the charge list.
Included Charges implies that charge is included in the price (price = gross value). Additional Charges are calculated in addition to the price (price = net value). An internal charge used when the amount of the item is fixed and a fixed dollar value or percentage of the amount is desired.
 | Information
The following example assumes that your organization is using the Included and Inside Together strategy.
If you specify that the price of a miscellaneous item is $50.00. If a 7% charge is included in the price, the net value of the miscellaneous item is $46.73 ($50.00 - 7%). If the 7% was charged as an additional charge, the net value is $50.00 and the gross value would be $53.50 ($50.00 x 7%). For an inside charge for a net value of $45.00 and an inside charge of 10%, the gross value would be $50.00 [($45.00 + $50.00 x 10%) = $50.00]. |
