Precise price calculation using price types, price scales and pricing rules

The price calculation functions support both internal sales and international sales and offer outstanding pricing flexibility. The prices for products with customer-specific configuration are calculated in CREALIS® using freely definable price lists, price scales and pricing rules. They can be different for each business role, such as account manager, direct sales, or external dealer, depending on the sales region and access right. The display of different currencies guarantees the international use of the configurator. Discounts or target prices may be set during configuration at individual locations and in the overall configuration.
