    Abstract: A preferred set of prices for a plurality of products, generally demand coefficients is provided. Cost data including activity-based costs is also received. A preferred set of prices that will provide a local optimum for the preferred set of prices which maximizes profit is then determined. In one embodiment, a sales model and a cost model are created. A plurality of rules is specified. The preferred set of prices is then determined based on the sales model, the cost model, and the plurality of rules.

    Abstract: The invention organizes various pricing tables and price adjustment tables and various products and purchasing organizations based on “who” (i.e. which purchasing organization) is purchasing “what” (i.e. which product). The invention utilizes a denormalized table to relate the “who” to the “what” using denormalized numbers. The invention further organizes various purchasing organizations and products into hierarchical tables. These hierarchical tables are called organizational groups and product groups. Various price adjustments may be specified for each level of the organizational groups and product groups hierarchies. The price adjustments for a particular purchasing organization are determined by retrieving the price adjustments for that particular purchasing organization as well as the price adjustments for organizational groups above the particular purchasing organization in the organizational groups hierarchy. Likewise, the price adjustments for a particular product are determined by retrieving the price adjustments for that particular product as well as the price adjustments for product groups above the particular product in the product groups hierarchy. The invention sorts the various pricing adjustments applicable to a particular product offered to a particular purchasing group based on several criteria. After the sorting is accomplished the pricing adjustments are applied in sequence to arrive at a final price at which a particular product can be sold to a particular purchasing organization.

    Abstract translation: 本发明根据“谁”(即哪个采购机构)正在购买“什么”(即哪个产品)组织各种定价表和价格调整表以及各种产品和采购组织。 本发明利用非归一化表将“谁”与“什么”相关联使用非规格化数字。 本发明进一步将各种采购组织和产品组织成分级表。 这些分层表称为组织组和产品组。 可以为组织组和产品组层次结构的每个级别指定各种价格调整。 特定采购组织的价格调整通过检索该特定采购组织的价格调整以及组织层级中特定采购组织以上组织团体的价格调整来确定。 同样,特定产品的价格调整通过检索该特定产品的价格调整以及产品组层次结构中特定产品上方的产品组的价格调整来确定。 本发明根据几个标准对适用于特定采购组的特定产品进行各种定价调整。 分类完成后,依次应用定价调整,以获得特定产品可以出售给特定采购组织的最终价格。

    Abstract: An electronic label wirelessly connected to a product information updating system. The electronic label includes a wireless communication interface to receive information from a server to be displayed on a display, a means for processing connected to the communication interface, a means for updating the display connected to the means for processing, and at least one dot matrix display to display a dot matrix image, where the dot matrix display is connected to the means for updating the display. The communication interface receives the information to be displayed from the product information updating system. At least a part of the dot matrix display displays a first barcode that can be scanned by a barcode scanner, where the first barcode identifies the electronic label or a product linked to the electronic label.
