Multiple Purchase Trade Agreements for the same Account on the same item.

Posted on by Community Member

I am trying to see if there is a way to create multiple Trade agreements for the same Account selection on the same item. AX always looks for the best possible pricing so it always pulls the lower price on POs.

We have different prices for an item that is shipped LTL and shipped from container. I am trying to solve for only having to use one item instead of 2 different items.

Any suggestions?

Hi bhughey,

Do you mean you have separate purchase price for the same item from different vendor?

Are you getting the same item being shipped LTL (Less than truckload) from two vendors?

Kindly share more details about the scenario.

Separate purchase price for the same item from the same vendor. The same item from different vendors we are already doing.

Hi bhughey,

If you have two purchase prices from the same vendor for the same item for the same period, and other dimensions then I fear there is little that can be done and AX will always honor the lower price.

There has to be some logic to declare the winner in case of two eligible contenders. Isn't it. :)

I guess pricing that considered 'Mode of delivery' would be ideal.... but that doesn't exist ;-)

A couple of ideas I can think of:

Use 'price group' to set your prices e.g. VendA-LTL & VendA-Con. On each PO, you will have to set the Price group (or, have a default price group on the Vendor, and set the other one on each PO when needed).

Use Purchase agreements. Have one for LTL and one for Container and select the correct one when you create the PO.

It occurred to me that an 'AX way' to do it is to use the same price on both types of order, but use Charges to add the cost of the delivery method to the PO. A Charge Code which posted to the Vendor balance and the Item cost sounds right.

But I guess that with the pricing agreemennt you have with the vendor that this wouldn't be suitable.

In addition to this, if you are using the find next option, you can have two different behaviours : best price applied or lower/finest price applied.
