Internal Prices

 

There are several types of internal prices that can be created. This document will outline the steps in the Field Products Internal Prices creation process. The process is the same for all types unless otherwise noted. If actual costing is used, then the product will be transferred based on the internal price. The period end process will adjust the internal price to actual price. If standard costing is utilized, then the internal price establishes the standard price to be used in the system. If standard cost methods are used and the Protein Cost Mode is set to Standard and Actual or Standard with Variance, click here to review the details that need to be entered.

 

Prior to creating an Internal Price, the following items must be created.

 

The following procedures are outlined in the Internal Prices process.

Create an Internal Price

  1. In General>Products>Prices>Internal Prices, select Field Products, or the internal price type required to be created.  
  2. In the Internal Prices main index, click to create a new internal price.
  1. In the Products Transfer Prices dialog box, In the Product No field, enter the number for the product of the price being created.
  2. From Source Cost Center No, select the required cost center that will supply the product, and then click 'OK'.

 

Internal Prices

The Internal Prices screen contains the base data for internal pricing.

 

  1. In the Field Products Internal Prices screen, click on the Internal Prices tab.
  2. Click to create a new internal price line.
  3. Click on the Internal Prices tab.

 

 

  1. In the Effective Date field, enter the start date for the new internal price.
  2. Enter the Price of the per inventory unit.

  3. From Destination Cost Center No, select the cost center that will be receiving the product. This field is optional. If the field is left blank, then the price is used when delivered to all cost centers. If the field is populated, then the price will only be charged to that cost center.

  4. Destination Cost Center Name will default from Destination Cost Center No and displays a description of the cost center.

  5. Current Cost  is used only in field products and allows the transfer to occur at cost and then apply add-ons. For example, if the product is at cost, but the user wants to charge contract growers an additional 10% as a markup to cover overheads. If Current Cost is selected, then there cannot be a value entered in the price field. The value transferred to the facility or farm is based on the current cost using FIFO or Average Cost mode.

  6. The Active flag is selected by default.  When the price is no longer required, de-select the flag to set the price as inactive.

 

Add-Ons

Internal add-ons are defined on the product and cannot be added to internal prices if they are not defined on the product. Add-ons are used when adding a service fee or surcharge for the product when transferring to a facility or farm.

  1. Click on the Add-Ons tab and select to create a new add-on.

 

 

 

  1. In the Product No field, enter/select the product to be used. The remaining fields will auto-populate based on the set up of the internal add-ons for each product.

  3. AddOn Type indicates whether the product is a Premium, Discount or Commission add-on.

  4. Transaction Basis determines how the add-on is calculated.

  5. Payee Type is an optional field that indicates the source type for the add-on.

  6. Transaction Entity ID is used only if a different Payee Type is selected.
