347 • an Other Pricelist given in the field If Other Pricelist, • the price that varies as a function of a supplier defined in the Partner section of the product form. Several other criteria can be considered and added to the list, as you will see in the following section. Next, various operations can be applied to the base price to calculate the sales or purchase price for the partner at the specified quantities. To calculate it you apply the formula shown on the form: Price = Base Price x 1 + Field1 + Field2 . The first field, Field1, defines a discount. Set it to 0.20 for a discount of 20 from the base price. If your price is based on standard cost, you can set -0.15 to get a 15 price uplift compared with the standard costs. Field2 sets a fixed supplement to the price, expressed in the currency of the pricelist. This amount is just added or subtracted, if negative to the amount calculated with the Field1 discount. Then you can specify a rounding method. The rounding calculation is carried out to the nearest number. For example if you set 0.05 in this example, a price of 45.66 will be rounded to 45.65, and 14,567 rounded to 100 will give a price of 14,600. Note: Swiss special situation In Switzerland, the smallest monetary unit is 5 cents. There are not any 1 or 2 cent coins. So you set OpenERP’s rounding to 0.05 to round everything in a Swiss franc pricelist. The supplement from Field2 is applied before the rounding calculation, which enables some interesting effects. For example, if you want all your prices to end in 9.99, set your rounding to 10 and your supplement to -0.01 in Field2 . Minimum and Maximum margins enable you to guarantee a given margin over the base price. A margin of 10 USD enables you to stop the discount from returning less than that margin. If you put 0 into this field, no effect is taken into account. Once the pricelist is defined, you can assign it to a partner. To do this, find a Partner and select its Sales Purchases tab. You can then change the Purchase Pricelist and the Sale Pricelist that is loaded by default for the partner.
