When you create a subscription, the sales price is derived from the sales price setup created in the Sales price - Subscription form.

In the Sales price - Subscriptionform, you can create sales prices for a specific subscription or you can create sales prices that apply more broadly. For a sales price to be applied on a subscription, the period code and the currency of the subscription and the sales price must be identical.

If the period code and currency are identical for both the subscription and the sales price, subscription sales prices are selected on the basis of the priorities listed in the following table. Blank indicates an empty field and X indicates a value equal to the value in the subscription from which the transaction is generated.

Priority	Category	Project	Subscription	Currency	Period
1	X	X	X	X	X
2		X	X	X	X
3	X		X	X	X
4			X	X	X
5	X	X		X	X
6		X		X	X
7	X			X	X
8				X	X

When a subscription fee is created, the sales price with the greatest level of detail (as noted in the table above) is selected as the subscription sales price.

Update and index subscription sales prices

You can update the subscription sales price by updating the base price or the index. You can update by a percent or to a new value.

Subscription fee sales prices

When you create a subscription fee, the sales price is based on the sales price setup of the subscription. You can either use the base price from the subscription price setup or you can create indexed sales prices.

Example

You want to set up subscription sales prices of EUR 500 for a new project 9030. In the Sales price - Subscription form, you create a subscription sales price line as follows:

Valid from	Category	Project	Subscription	Period code	Sales currency	Sales price
28-08-2006		9030		Month	EUR	500

Note that the Categoryand Subscriptionfields are blank.

You then create the following subscriptions:

Service subscription	Project	Subscription group	Category	Currency	Period code
00020_135	9030	Sub1	SubCat1	EUR	Monthly
00021_135	9030	Sub1	SubCat2	EUR	Monthly

Now you create subscription fees for both subscriptions in the subscription group Sub1:

Click Service> Setup> Service subscriptions> Subscription groups.
In the Subscription groupsform, click Function> Create subscription fee.
In the Create subscription feeform, enter the appropriate information. For more information, see Create subscription fee (class form).

Subscription fees with a sales price of EUR 500 are created for both subscriptions:

Project date	Service subscription	Project	Category	Start date	End date	Sales currency	Sales price
28-08-2006	00020_135	9030	SubCat1	01-01-2007	31-03-2007	EUR	500
28-08-2006	00021_135	9030	SubCat2	01-01-2007	31-03-2007	EUR	500

Later, you decide that you want to specify sales prices for the category SubCat1 for project 9030. Therefore, you create a new sales price line with a sales price of EUR 550 for the combination of project 9030 and fee category SubCat1. There are now two subscription sales price lines for project 9030:

Valid from	Category	Project	Subscription	Period code	Currency	Sales price
28-08-2007		9030		Month	EUR	500
28-08-2007	SubCat1	9030		Month	EUR	550

You repeat the procedure described above to create subscription fees for both subscriptions in the subscription group Sub1. Two transactions are created, one for each subscription that is attached to the subscription group:

Project date	Subscription	Project	Category	Start date	End date	Sales currency	Sales price
28-07-2007	00020_135	9030	SubCat1	01-01-2008	31-03-2008	EUR	550
28-07-2008	00021_135	9030	SubCat2	01-01-2008	31-03-2008	EUR	500

In the first transaction for subscription 00020_135, the sales price of EUR 550 derives from the subscription sales price set up for the combination of the specific project and category. In the second transaction for subscription 00021_135, the sales price of EUR 500 is used as the project subscription sales price because there is no price set up for the combination of project 9030 and category SubCat2.
