Quotation Using Variable Pricing structure:

The columns in the quotes are customisable, in our example we have the following:

ORIGINAL: Displays original price of the tariff, this is taken from the price book sell price. If the Sell price has been amended to higher value, therefore a negative discount applied, this column will not display any value.

ITEM RECURRING DISCOUNT

• if the variable sell price has been amended to lower value this will be displayed in this column and recalculated to a discount.
• if the variable sell price has been amended to higher value this column will not display any value.

MONTHLY EACH: Monthly charge per one service.

RECURRING EQUIVALENT LINE: Shows monthly value multiplied by the quantity of the services

Summary in the deal is also customisable and in our example we chose to include the following:

RECURRING DISCOUNT MONTHLY: Monthly service discount

NET RECURRING: Monthly recurring cost to customer

SERVICE DISCOUNT: Service discount for the whole term
