Reference: Linear Pricing for Purchase Items
You enable linear pricing for purchase items when you select the
Calculate Pricing
based on Conversion Factor
check box on purchase item tasks. Use
this topic to reference the best practices for maintaining linear pricing.Maintain Linear and Nonlinear Pricing on the Workday Platform
Enter prices for only the default UOMs on the
Ordering Pricing
and Just in Time
tables. Workday calculates the linear price
for the rest of the UOMs.For ordering or just-in-time, when you:
- Enter the default UOM, Workday calculates the price for the remaining UOMs.
- Add new UOMs, Workday calculates the linear price.
- Enter a new default UOM price, Workday recalculates the linear pricing.
With linear price calculation, each row on the
Advanced
Pricing
grid represents special pricing regardless of the UOM you
order in. Workday populates the linear price for alternate UOMs of price rules on
procurement transactions. Don't create the same price rule for different UOMs on the
Advanced Pricing
grid.When you enable linear pricing, Workday
doesn't recalculate existing pricing, which remains nonlinear.
Maintain Linear Pricing with Web Services
When you update purchase items with web services, Workday recommends that you submit pricing
for only the default just-in-time and ordering UOMs. The rest of the linear pricing
updates when you update only the default UOM price.
You can use web service filters to update nonlinear pricing, while keeping linear pricing the
same, by submitting only the nonlinear pricing you want to update.
Use these filters for the
Get Purchase Item
or Get Supplier Items
web services
to populate the Put Purchase Item
or Submit Supplier Items
web
services:- Exclude Pricing Calculated by Conversion Factor: Returns nondefault UOMs without linear pricing.
- Only Default UOMs with Calculate Price Enabled: Returns only just-in-time and ordering default UOMs with linear pricing.
