Special pricing 2 for one buy any three etc Points

The pricing mechanism in Dynamics Ax, which was inovative when it was introduced in Concorde, the ancestor of the ancestor of Dynamics Ax, now seems rather dated.

As a minimum what is needed in the Ax model is to remove the groups from being directly attached to the product and customer units, as well as opening up for the ability to create prices in one go for more than one product.

But really what needs to be done is to revisit the model completely and add:

Price groupings
- Similar to kit pricing ability

Buy Set / Get Set control
- Ability to define that the fact of purchasing a series of items gives special prices / free products or points to be used in the future for purchases / rewards

Retroactive discounts
- Ability to define multiple threshold after the fact discount levels that are given end of month / period

Reintroduction of Trade Agreement no and Contracts
- Trade agreement no is in the table but not exposed it needs to be exposed and attached to an agreement so that a number of lines can be attached to the same agreement no and managed as a whole
