Once you have finished modifying or setting up a pricing model or a price level calculation, you click the Accept button on the Pricing Model screen of the Pricing tab to save your changes. At that point, the system validates, or checks, the price level calculations. This validation occurs before any of your updates are saved to your system's database.
If the system finds any validation errors, a warning message is displayed in a Validation Error(s) pop-up window to let you know that errors exist. In addition, a circle with a red exclamation point () is added to each pricing rule that needs to be corrected. (Click Validation Error(s) pop-up window to see a sample.)
Such validation errors do not occur often. However, if an error does occur, you can easily correct it.
Note: To access the Pricing Model screen, you must have the proper security privileges. The Pricing Maintenance job function needs to be assigned to one of your roles. Roles are assigned to users in the User Maintenance on the Security Maintenance screen of the Vision Configuration tab. For more information, refer to About roles and job functions.
On the Pricing Model screen of the Pricing tab, right-click the gray box in the far left column of the rule whose price level calculations you would like to correct, and then select Change Calculation Data on the shortcut menu. The Price Level Calculation dialog box appears, enabling you to set up and maintain the pricing calculations. A red circle with an exclamation point () is displayed next to any area that has an error.
To correct an error in the Price Level Calculation area, remove the invalid calculation from the Calculation listing. Then create a new calculation and add it to the listing. For more information, refer to Add or remove a price level calculation for a pricing rule.
To correct an error in the List Price Calculation area or the Replacement Cost Calculation area, select a different price level in the Based on Price Level drop-down list.
Click the Accept button to save your price level calculations. The Price Level Calculation dialog box is closed.
