Understanding Microsoft Dynamics 365 Pricing

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Commerce offers a range of pricing APIs that enable businesses to manage complex pricing scenarios with ease. These APIs are designed to provide accurate and timely pricing information, helping retailers make informed decisions about their products.

CalculateSalesDocument API

The CalculateSalesDocument API is one of the most powerful pricing APIs offered by Microsoft Dynamics 365 Commerce. This API takes into account both single-line discounts and multi-line discounts when calculating prices for products at given quantities. The CalculateSalesDocument API was introduced in version 10.0.25 of the Commerce platform.

When using this API, you can set the `includeSimpleDiscountsInContextualPrice` parameter to true to include simple discounts in the pricing calculation. This parameter also allows you to retrieve the minimum and maximum prices among all variants for a master product.

GetActivePrices API

Another important pricing API offered by Microsoft Dynamics 365 Commerce is the GetActivePrices API. This API calculates the price of individual products, including any effective discounts, making it ideal for use cases such as the product details page (PDP). The GetActivePrices API supports the Employee, Customer, Anonymous, and Application Commerce roles.

This API can also take a list of products as input and query the price of individual products in bulk. However, it does not calculate multiline discounts and assumes that each product in an API request has a quantity of 1.

Retail Server APIs

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Commerce offers several Retail Server APIs that can be consumed by external applications to support various pricing scenarios. These APIs include:

* RemoveCoupons: This API removes coupons from a cart.

* AddCoupons: This API adds coupons to a cart.

* GetAvailablePromotions: This API gets applicable discounts for products in the cart.

* CalculateSalesDocument: This API calculates prices and discounts for products at given quantities if they are bought together.

* GetActivePrices: This API gets a product's calculated price, including simple discounts.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Commerce offers a range of pricing APIs that provide businesses with the flexibility to manage complex pricing scenarios. The CalculateSalesDocument and GetActivePrices APIs are just two examples of the powerful tools offered by this platform. By understanding how these APIs work, retailers can make informed decisions about their products and stay ahead of the competition.
