Universal Containers (UC) sells to partners in multiple regions. Each region has a unique price multiplier that should be applied to the pricebook price of the product.
A custom object has been created to maintain the regional multipliers for each region. Any discounts should be applied after the regional multiplier has been applied. An admin needs to create a Lookup Price Rule.
Which field should the admin configure the price action to update?
A. The special price
B. The partner price
C. The customer price
D. The list price
A. The special price
Explanation:
Lookup Price Rule Purpose:
Lookup Price Rules are used to modify prices before any discounts are applied.
Since the regional multiplier should be applied before discounts, the price action should update a field that influences the final calculated price but does not override the base List Price.
Why "Special Price"?
Special Price is designed to temporarily adjust the price (e.g., promotions, regional adjustments) before discounts are applied.
The regional multiplier should adjust the price before any further discounts, making Special Price the correct target.
Why Not Other Options?
B. Partner Price & C. Customer Price: These are typically used for final customer/partner pricing (after all adjustments), not intermediate steps.
D. List Price: This is the base price and should not be modified by regional multipliers (as it would affect all pricing, not just region-specific adjustments).
Correct Configuration:
Lookup Price Rule should update "Special Price" with the List Price × Regional Multiplier.
Discounts will then apply on top of the adjusted Special Price.
