• availability response and
• order response.

This change is based on an increasing number of market requirements in several European countries and the important goal to standardize integration processes between buyers within the TecCom community, using TecLocal, CAP or tXML standard with the TecOpen Messaging (TOM) integration method.

TecCom proposes to dedicate the field “Price 2” in the current standard to transport the unit net price instead of Euro conversion. “Price 2” was initially designed for Euro conversion from “Price 1”. This field is now used for different purposes without any clear standardization.

As a result the global business rule for prices would be the following after this change. All suppliers are instructed to follow these rules:
Price 1:
Business rule on “Price 1” remains the same as in the past. Following info can be returned:

• No price
• Gross price per unit(s)
• The public price before discount and without tax for the number of units indicated. Default number of units is 1.
• Total Net amount
• The total amount of the line for the confirmed quantity without taxes 
• The total net amount must include charges applicable to the line, for instance: Surcharge for old material.
• N.B. Charges applied at header level (e.g. shipping) should not be included in the total net amount of the line.

Price2:
Following info can be returned:

• No price
• Unit net price
• A unit net price is the price that the buyer will find on his invoice from the supplier using the same currency that is in the “Price 1” field.
• It does not include surcharge for old material.

Additional information:

• In TecLocal the security settings for hiding price information per TecLocal user also works for  “Price 2”.
