Hinnastotiedot

Hinnastotiedot is a Finnish term referring to information about price lists for products or services. It is used in commerce, retail, manufacturing and procurement to describe the prices that apply to items, services and customer segments. Hinnastotiedot may include base price, currency, tax status, discounts, surcharges, and the validity period of a price.

Prices can be defined at multiple levels: per product, product group, customer segment, region or sales channel. They can be time-bound with effective from and to dates, seasonal or promotional prices, and may include different price types such as net price and gross price, as well as units of measure and quantity-based pricing.

In data management hinnastotiedot are stored in price catalogs integrated with ERP, CRM and e commerce systems. They require governance, versioning and change management because prices change due to costs, demand, or promotions. The data typically links to product identifiers, suppliers and price validity rules and may track currency conversions and tax rates. Formats include CSV, XML, JSON, or standard EDI, often with time-stamped updates.

Common applications include sales quoting, order handling, invoicing and VAT reporting. Accuracy, consistency and compliance with consumer protection and tax rules are important, especially in B2C pricing.
