Single Item Marketing
This is a special functionality that can determine a second price advantage based on a better single item condition, parallel to the calculation of the price advantage of a block calculation. A requirement for that however, is that your supplier offers the possibility of single item marketing. If so, you receive from your supplier a second condition, which is only used if the planning is free, meaning without block calculation.
The following illustration should clarify this:
- As long as the quotation value of a planned kitchen approximately corresponds to the block value, using a block calculation initially results in a better price advantage than single item marketing.
- When the quotation value is twice as high, the single item marketing will usually already outweigh the block price savings.
- As soon as the quotation value clearly differs from the block value, normally the better gross condition of the single item marketing will clearly overtake the price advantage of the block.
Due to the possibility of CARAT, to enter in addition Addition (in Latin: addere) is one of four basic operations in arithmetic. In primary school and in common language it is the expression used for the adding of two or more numbers. to the conditions for the block calculation also the conditions for the single item marketing, you get the advantage of being able to make a comparison for each quotation, if rather a block calculation or a single item marketing is suitable to achieve a higher PP The PP (purchase price) in CARAT, refers to the price less conditions but before designated cash discounts and bonus. advantage.
This is how it is done
- In order to be able to calculate also the price advantage of a single item marketing, in addition to a block calculation, you first must activate the condition schemes of the single item marketing. To do this, please open the catalogue master data Head data in CARAT is the generic term for all details that are needed for the design and ordering of a kitchen. This is for example, the selected program or variations in carcase versions, or worktop edge. of the supplier for that you would like to enter a single item marketing, and then activate the option The word option (from Latin: optio = free will) used in computing means a choice. In CARAT it is normally used with a list box. SIM - Single item marketing on the Catalogue index card Some dialogue windows are too voluminous, therefore the functions are separated into indexed groups. The subgroup names typically appear on the tab of the index card at the top of the dialogue and can be selected by clicking on the appropriate tab..

- Thereupon, you have two additional indexes for the single item marketing available in the condition schemes area. In the process make two index cards always one associated couple:
- Scheme 1 and single item marketing 1 cover the surcharges 1 till 6.
- Scheme 2 and single item marketing 2 cover the surcharges A till F.
The following illustration should help clarify the connection between condition schemes. We assume, you use for a plan via the consultant key The Consultant key is a three digit string, with which you can assign a plan the necessary surcharge factors and conditions. Every calculation group is always assigned one of the three digits. Normally these are: 1st digit wood parts, 2nd digit accessories, 3rd digit electro. 111 the surcharge 1. As already described, is condition scheme "scheme 1" always used for the surcharges 1 to 6. As soon as the single item marketing is activated, the condition scheme "single item marketing 1" is used in parallel, because also this condition scheme responsible is for surcharges 1 to 6.
When you carry out a block calculation, CARAT calculates the value advantage PP as well as SP The SP (selling price) in CARAT is a result of multiplying the CARAT list price by the entered net surcharge factor, plus VAT.) that results from the block calculation. Because of the condition settings of the condition schemes in use, CARAT calculates, when the single item marketing is activated, parallel the alternative PP as well as SP. After the block calculation has taken place, is now in the block selection dialogue Dialogue, dialogue windows or dialogue fields are special windows in software applications. Dialogue windows are displayed by application programs in different situations to request input or confirmation from the user., besides the blocks, also the singe item marketing (SIM) shown. The single item marketing will be sorted like a block, thus based on its price advantage. If the single item marketing is on the first position of the block list, it generates the biggest purchase benefit, and can be included like a block in the quotation.
