Box 1: Owner tracking dimensions

Requirements. White labeling

• Trey Research wants to start white labeling its products under the brands of major nutritional retail store brands. These products would only be sold to specific customers.

• Trey Research will provide and maintain a ' Compare to ' price for customers to use to compare the white-labeled products. This Compare to price will also be the default item price for the customer if the customer accidentally lets a contract price expire.

• The configuration of these restrictions must be applied automatically when creating new products for those customers.

The tracking dimension is a lower-level assortment of products, irrespective of whether it is a serial number for electronic inventory items or a batch number.

Box 2: Released product

To change the Tracking Dimension Group for Products in Dynamics Operations, you need to change settings on both on the product level and the released product level. However, you need to delete the tracking dimension group at the product level prior to making changes to the corresponding released product.

Box 1: discount

Requirements. Pricing

Trey Research plans to do promotional pricing. Certain products will receive special pricing during the hours of extreme sporting events that Trey Research sponsors. Before or after the event, normal pricing will resume.

Box 2: periodic

A discount period defines the period during which a price adjustment or discount is valid.

Box 3: catalog

A product catalog is a collection of products with their pricing information. The product catalog entities let you create a rich product classification system in Dynamics 365 for Customer Engagement that provides support for:

* Defining multiple pricing and discounting models. You can also use custom pricing instead of the Customer Engagement system pricing to calculate prices when you associate a product or bundle to an opportunity, quote, order, or invoice. Further, you can select whether to apply discounts for products at the per-unit or line level.

* Etc.

Note: Price groups are at the heart of price and discount management in Commerce. Price groups are used to assign prices and discounts to Commerce entities (that is, channels, catalogs, affiliations, and loyalty programs). Because price groups are used for all pricing and discounts, it ' s very important that you plan how you will use them before you start.

* trade agreement discounts

The capability to work with categories is a key differentiator between discounts and trade agreement discounts, and the main reason that we discourage you from using trade agreement discounts. Categories are organized in a multi-level hierarchy. By contrast, the item discount groups that are used by trade agreements are only a single level of grouping, and each group is specific to one of the three trade agreement discount types, such as Line discount, Multiline discount, and Total discount. Therefore, for trade agreements, if you want to use the same set of products in all three trade agreement discount types, you must create and manage three independent discount groups.

* An affiliation identifies customers who are members of a group, or are associated with one, for example, seniors or students. Before you can add affiliations to customer records, you must set up affiliations and their discounts.

Box 1: Planned

If a vendor can no longer deliver the raw materials for the energy drinks due to supply chain issues, the costs for using an alternative vendor to source the raw materials should be used to determine the impact on profits.

Planned costs

A costing version can contain a set of planned cost records about items and manufacturing processes. A costing version that contains planned costs is often used to support cost calculation simulations, such as simulations of the effect that cost changes to purchased materials or manufacturing processes has on the calculated costs of manufactured items. The item cost records for planned costs can also be used to support an actual cost inventory model by providing the initial values for item costs. These values include the calculation of planned costs for manufactured items.

Box 2: Standard

The profitability for nutritional supplements manufacturing processes needs to be expressed in terms of the cost categories for routing operations and the calculation formulas for manufacturing overheads.

Standard costs

A costing version can support a standard cost inventory model for items, where the costing version contains a set of standard cost records about items and manufacturing processes. Cost data about manufacturing processes is expressed in terms of the cost categories for routing operations and the calculation formulas for manufacturing overheads.
