The base unit (BASIC_UNIT) specifies on which dimension the prices in the ITEM_PRICE (P1) and ADDITIONAL_PRICE (P2) elements relate. The unit of measure depends on the number of dimensions specified as "1". Possible options are: mm, mm² and mm³. If the price of a width-dependent item refers to one meter, the value in this element must be entered as "1000". In the case of a volume-dependent price, 1 m³ will be entered as "1000000000" [mm³]. If they are piece prices, i.e. no dimension was specified as "1", the value "0" must be entered in this element. If the price is not a piece price, the value must be different from "0".
The rounding unit (ROUNDING_UNIT) is used to specify the upward rounding for the length, the surface area and/or the volume. The unit of measure depends on the number of dimensions specified as "1". Possible options are: mm, mm² and mm³. If the price of a width-dependent item refers to one centimetre, the value in this element must be entered as "10". If they are piece prices, i.e. no dimension was specified as "1", the value "0" must be entered in this element. If the price is not a piece price, the value must be different from "0".
To specify the different types of the rounding, the ROUNDING_UNIT element is supplemented with the element ROUNDING_TYPE, with possible values being 1, 2 and 3, that identifies commercial rounding (up and down).
If the element is set to 1, the price will be calculated on the basis of the base price and a base price unit. If the value is 0, the price calculation is independent from a base price.
The element .../ITEM/PRICE_FEATURE_GROUP_BASE_PRICE_REF/ITEM_PRICE/PRICE_MINIMUM_BASIC Izzy is to specify the items base price applicable for the calculation and in .../ITEM/ PRICE_FEATURE_GROUP_BASE_PRICE_REF/ITEM_PRICE/BASIC_PRICE_UNIT the .../ITEM/PRICE_FEATURE_GROUP_BASE_PRICE_REF/ITEM_PRICE/BASIC_PRICE_UNIT element. The base price unit is used as a base value and/or starting point for the dimension-variable calculation.
The element ...ITEM/ADDITIONAL_PRICE_GROUP/PRICE_FEATURE_GROUP_REF/ITEM_PRICE/PRICE is used to specify the price that serves as a basis for the calculation of the filler price that corresponds to the basic unit defined in the BASIC_UNIT element. The base price is always a piece price. An item that is assigned a base price calculation cannot be assigned a minimum price. The final price of the item consists of the base price + the calculated filler price in consideration of the logic defined in the element. Base prices can only be assigned to items for which at least one-dimensional is used for calculation purposes.
The effective item prices are calculated as follows: The dimensions of the base price unit must be subtracted from the item dimensions. The remaining dimensions are the infill dimensions. To calculate the price for the infill dimensions, the logic from the PRICE_TYPE element in conjunction with the price from element .../ITEM/PRICE_FEATURE_GROUP_BASE_PRICE_REF/ITEM_PRICE/PRICE is used. If the infill dimensions are less than 0, the calculations continue with an infill dimension value of 0.
Price calculation formulas can be specified when defining price types (PRICE_TYPE). Formulas must not be specified for standard price types, such as a calculation that relies squares or cubic metres. The following rules apply for the definition of price type formulas: - the parameters b, h and t can be used in formulas. Parameters b, h, t correspond to the parameters b, h and t of the carcase basic shape. Depending on the b, h, t parameters used, the corresponding element WIDTH_Y (P1) (b), DEPTH_Y (P1) (t) or HEIGHT_Z (P1) (h) must be set to "true". - the basic calculation methods addition (+), subtraction (-), multiplication (*) and division (/) can be used; - arithmetic brackets can be used; - +/minus signs must not be used; - only the final result is rounded; - elements BASIC_UNIT (P1), ROUNDING_UNIT (P1) and BASIC_PRICE_DEPENDENT (P1) also apply in conjunction with the price type formula;
This element is used to specify a designation for the defined price type. The designation simplifies data collection and communication. The designation is not analysed by the planning software.
