In order to make meaningful price comparisons between different price lists, all retail prices are specified in US dollars. In our example price list, the retail one-time price is 50 EUR, or about 57 USD. Adding a service fee for preparing the incoming product data might give a retail one-time price of 75 USD. This is specified with a constant price element in the retail one-time price section.
A retail markup of 40% of the factory base price is specified with a constant factor price element in the retail base price section. Alternatively, a curve could be specified, giving a lower markup factor as the order area increases.
If desired, a minimum markup may be specified.
The shipping cost is typically specified as a constant price per shipment plus a curve specifying a price per kg. Selectors are typically used to specify different shipping prices for different destination countries.
This gives:
Finally, the price is converted from US dollars to the customer’s currency before generating a quotation.
