Standardized Price Types for Packaged Goods & Supply Chain
This document defines the allowed values for the Template:Code attribute within the Pricing XML schema. Using these standardized codes ensures compatibility across suppliers, datapools, and internal ERP systems without requiring schema changes.
1. Market & Baseline Prices (Public/Broad)
- LIST
- The "Sticker Price" or Gross Price. It is the baseline before any specific customer agreements. This is typically the value sent to generic datapools (e.g., GDSN).
- MSRP
- (Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price). The price the manufacturer recommends the final consumer pays. Primarily used in B2C or retail-facing data.
- MAP
- (Minimum Advertised Price). A legal/contractual floor price below which a retailer is not permitted to advertise the product.
2. Transactional & B2B Prices (1:1 Relationships)
- NET
- The actual price a specific buyer pays after standard "on-invoice" discounts are applied.
- NET_NET
- The final price after all deductions, including "off-invoice" rebates, year-end bonuses, or marketing allowances.
- CONTRACT
- A price locked in via a specific legal agreement for a set duration. Common for packaging components (e.g., corrugated boxes or resin-based materials).
- PROMO
- A temporary price for a specific marketing window, seasonal event, or circular.
3. Production & Material Specifics
- TRANSFER
- The internal price used when moving goods between entities of the same parent company (e.g., from a packaging plant to an assembly plant).
- COST_PLUS
- A price calculated by taking the production cost and adding a fixed margin percentage.
- LANDED
- The total price including logistics, insurance, and customs duties. Critical for international component sourcing.
4. Surcharges (Modern Essentials)
- SURCHARGE_CARBON
- A specific price adder for CO2 taxes, plastic taxes, or sustainability offsets.
- SURCHARGE_FUEL
- Floating price additions based on fluctuating logistics and freight costs.
- SURCHARGE_RAW
- Used when raw material prices (e.g., aluminum, pulp, resin) are volatile and billed as a separate, adjustable line item.
