Industry: Discrete Manufacturing
Context & Challenges
- Kit pricing with multi-layer components where the hierarchical relationships are dynamic
- Indefinite number of layers of kit components for price calculations. Pricefx doesn’t support more than 3 dirty passes, so we had to find out an alternative way.
- The kit component definitions are not of the same type and are not kept on the same table either. The structure varies based on product hierarchy
Solution
- We extended Pricefx’s default capability by calculating Kit’s price of unlimited layers of hierarchical components.
- All kit mapping was stored on different size of PX tables and the reference to those PX tables were kept on a PP. Based on the tables, we developed a forest of tress where we calculated the price of all the components recursively to finally get the kit price of all the components.
