Hi

We sell various hardware items.  Suppose we are selling Item A.

Item A may be issued from Stock in 3 ways:

  1. at the standard price, paid in full by the customer on invoice
  2. on a hire purchase (rental to purchase model), paid over a term of 36 months
  3. free of charge as a warranty replacement 

In each case the Item is identical so I don’t want to create more than one Inventory ID.  As far as I see Subitems or Attributes would require me to do so.

Currently we distinguish between these models as follows:

  1. price applied is the list price
  2. price applied is the list price with 100% discount
  3. free item box is ticked

Is there a better way to identify these different commercial methods on a Sales Order, such that we can report on them conveniently later?

Hi @gwynroberts35 

Along with attributes, have you looked at using Sales Price Worksheets? That would change the pricing as soon as it is added to a sales order based on criteria. 


@kandybeatty49 Thanks for your answer. 

As a Sales Price Worksheet specifies a price for each Inventory ID, this doesn’t help, does it?  I would need a different Inventory ID for each scenario, which would complicate the stock side (the system would expect individual stock levels for identical and indistinguishable items)


@gwynroberts35 best you can do is to add a custom field with 3 dropdown value so you can select desired Sales Model when a SO is created and then report as you wish.
