The Price Matrix in Optimizely <<product-name>> creates a generic construct used for storing complex pricing information across various ERP systems. It intentionally is non-normalized data to create a data structure that can perform the calculations with minimal latency. It does have its limitations, such as a maximum of 10 price breaks.

Each ERP or custom application of the matrix can use different data in specific fields as needed to accommodate pricing functions.

## Configuration settings

Configure the appropriate settings to use the Price Matrix. Remember to correctly target the desired website using the **Configuring** menu on the left side of the screen.

  5. Use the **Activate On** and/or **Deactivate On** fields to select the date and time (or span of time) the Price Matrix is active. Leave **Deactivate On** blank if the Price Matrix record is active indefinitely.

  6. For the **Currency Code** field, enter the appropriate currency.

  7. The **Unit of Measure** and **Warehouse** fields are optional.

    If the **Warehouse** field is populated, the Price Matrix only displays pricing for products available from the warehouse identified in the Warehouse field.

    The **Unit of Measure** field is optional; however, if it is filled with a unit of measure that differs from the unit of measure listed on the product's **Detail** page, the Price Matrix record will not execute.

## Pricing details section

  1. Modify the quantities in the **Break Qty** column. The first quantity always is 1. The second break level is the price or percentage to select for the break quantity (such as the second break quantity of 5 equates the first break level to purchases between 1 and 4 items, while the second break level equates to purchases of 5 items or more). Continue this process for each break quantity, up to ten fields.

## Set up a price matrix record for a product

Set up a Price Matrix record to create pricing information for a product.

### Use a product's basic list price

Use the Product's **Basic List Price** as a basis for the Price Matrix record. In this example, the User selects a product with a Basic List Price of $37.00.

#### Price matrix details section

  1. Within the **Admin Console**, go to **Catalog** \> **Price Matrix**.

  2. Click **Add Price Matrix**.

  3. Select **Product** from **Record Type**.

  4. Select a **Product** from **Product**.

  5. Use the **Activate On** and/or **Deactivate On** fields to select the date and time (or span of time) the Price Matrix is active. Leave **Deactivate On** blank if the Price Matrix record is active indefinitely.

  6. For **Currency Code**, enter the appropriate currency.

  7. The **Unit of Measure** and **Warehouse** fields are optional.

    If the **Warehouse** field is populated, the Price Matrix only displays pricing for products available from the warehouse identified in the **Warehouse** field.

    The **Unit of Measure** field is optional; however, if it is filled with a unit of measure that differs from the unit of measure listed on the product's detail page, the Price Matrix record does not execute.

#### Pricing details section

  1. Modify the quantities in the **Break Qty** column. The first quantity always is 1. The second break level is the price or percentage to select for the break quantity (such as the second break quantity of 5 equates the first break level to purchases between 1 and 4 items, while the second break level equates to purchases of 5 items or more). This user chooses to set break quantities at 1, 5, and 10.

  2. Select **List** from **Price Basis**. List calculates the price of the item +/- the value entered in the **Amount** field.

  3. Select **Percentage** from **Adjustment Type**. This recognizes the value entered in the **Amount** field as a percentage.

  4. Enter an amount in the **Amount** field. This user chooses to enter 0 for break quantity 1, -10 for break quantity 5, and -25 for break quantity 10.

  5. Click **Save**.

  6. Rebuild the **Product Search Index** by going to **Admin Console** \> **Marketing** \> **Search** \> **Indexing**.

The second break level is the price or percentage to select for the break quantity (such as the second break quantity of 5 equates the first break level to purchases between 1 and 4 items, while the second break level equates to purchases of 5 items or more). This user chooses to set break quantities at 1, 5, and 10.

    

  2. Select **Cost** from **Price Basis**. Cost calculates the price of the item by either multiplying the unit cost by the value entered in the Amount field (if Adjustment Type = Percent), or adding the unit cost to the value entered in the Amount field (if Adjustment Type = Amount).

  3. Select **Amount** from **Adjustment Type**. This recognizes the value entered in the **Amount** field as a whole number.

  4. Enter an amount in **Amount** . This User chooses to enter 15 for break quantity 1, 13 for break quantity 5, and 11 for break quantity 10.

  5. Click **Save**.

  6. For **Currency Code**, enter the appropriate currency.

  7. **Warehouse** and **Unit of Measure** are optional.

    If **Warehouse** is populated, the Price Matrix only displays pricing for Products available from the Warehouse identified in the **Warehouse** field.

    **Unit of Measure** is optional; however, if it is filled with a unit of measure that differs from the unit of measure listed on the product's **Detail** page, the Price Matrix record will not execute.

#### Pricing details section

  1. Modify the quantities in the **Break Qty** column. The first quantity always is 1. The second break level is the price or percentage to select for the break quantity (such as the second break quantity of 5 equates the first break level to purchases between 1 and 4 items, while the second break level equates to purchases of 5 items or more). This user chooses to set break quantities at 1, 5, and 10.

    

  2. Select **Margin** from the **Price Basis** drop-down. Margin calculates the price of the item by adding the unit cost to the value entered in the **Amount** field.

    Note

    The **Margin** option does not work with the **Adjustment Type Percent**.

  3. Select **Amount** from the **Adjustment Type** drop-down. This recognizes the value entered in the **Amount** field as a whole number.

  4. Enter an amount in the **Amount** field. This user chooses to enter 20 for break quantity 1, 16 for break quantity 5, and 12 for break quantity 10.
