When defining the System Setup, you define the following sets of Pricing parameters:
o
Business parameters—this set of parameters include currency and how to round off amounts
(
S
YSTEM
S
ETUP
->
B
ASIC
->
R
EGION AND
L
ANGUAGE
).
o
Tax Packages—this set of parameters includes various taxing packages that can be added to the
price of the job.
o
Line Items Library—this set of parameters consists of individual items that you generally define
elsewhere (for example, stock paper items, shipping items). Not all the items in this library need to
contain cost or pricing information, but many of the items do contain this information (for example,
prices for specific paper types, prices for shipping, etc.). You can add additional items to this
library directly, without defining them elsewhere.

When you define a job type, you define the job intent joblets that are included in the job. Then, when
you define the job pricing settings, you define the following:
o
Calculation model to be used in determining the job’s pricing. This is the default pricing model and
can be one of the following models:
Intent—this model allows you to define pricing based on the job intent definition. You can
define base costs and prices for the job and particular intent options included. Though you can
have in mind the time, labor, waste, and other costs, when you define the cost and price of an
intent joblet, there are no fields that allow you to actually specify these amounts. Therefore,
the job price is fixed according to the intent price regardless of the actual time, labor, waste,
and so on, that the job requires.
Manual—this model allows the CSR to define the price manually while the job has not been
ordered yet (in shopping cart, saved job, etc.).
Excel pricing—this model allows the CSR to define pricing at the account level using an Excel
file.
o
If you select Intent Pricing, the following sections allow you to define the Intent Pricing for the job:
Planner—this section of the Pricing tab allows you to specify output devices and related
parameters according the quantities being printed.
Job Type Options—When you select Intent Pricing, this section allows you to define both
basic pricing for the job, and pricing for all of the intent options that might be selected by the
Print Buyer.
o
If you select Manual Pricing, the Planner section allows the CSR to define pricing at the time the
job is ordered.

When you define a template, the template inherits the characteristics of the job type, including the
Calculation Model. In the Pricing tab of the Settings, you can accept the default Calculation Model of
the parent (that is, the job type), or you can choose to use new settings. If you choose to use new
settings, you can change the Calculation model (that is, make a different model the default model)
and/or modify the pricing settings.
4
If different pricing plans are possible (for example, the job can be printed on different output devices,
and pricing will be different depending on the device chosen), you can see the plans in Track jobs.
Hierarchy FreeFlow Web Services Uses to Calculate the Price of a Job
When FreeFlow Web Services calculates the price of a job request, the pricing mechanism has a
hierarchy that contains the following 4 levels. It begins with the most specific pricing, and if that level is not
found, it moves to the next level:
1
Manual override for a pre-ordered job. This is where the Print Service Provider has overridden the
default pricing model and manually selected the pricing model to use for the job (including setting the
prices manually).
2
Price setting per template (Intent).
3
Account pricing (Excel).
4
Price setting per job type.
