How is the price of an item determined for a customer?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

The price of an item for a customer in NetSuite can be determined in several ways based on the business requirements. Here are some of the methods discussed in the threads: 1. Quantity Based Pricing: This is a standard functionality in NetSuite where you can set different prices for different quantities of an item. For example, if a customer buys 10 units of an item, they might get a discounted price per unit. However, this method applies the discounted price to all units once the quantity threshold is met. If you want to apply the discounted price only to the units that meet the threshold and charge the regular price for the remaining units, you might need to use a different approach. 2. Kit Items: If you sell items both individually and in packs (like a 12-pack of beer), you can use a kit item for the pack and a regular item for the individual unit. This way, you can track inventory under one item and sell it at both prices or quantities. However, this approach might have some challenges, such as scanning UPC codes and pulling up the right item. 3. Pricing Levels: You can create pricing levels and adjust the price level based on the quantity for specific items. This method might require you to manipulate the price literally with every combination, which could be time-consuming if you have many items. 4. Discount Items: If you provide a free product, you can either assign a 0 rate or use the full rate but add a discount item for the same rate. If the product is free only sometimes, you can use functionality to have this item added when a customer chooses another item or has a certain dollar amount on the order. 5. Stacked Prices: If you want to charge different prices for different quantities of an item (like charging a lower price for the first 10 units and a higher price for the remaining units), you might need to use a combination of the above methods or look for a custom solution. Remember, the best approach depends on your specific business requirements and how you want to manage your inventory and pricing. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
