    Abstract: Systems and methods for outcome based pricing may be useful in conjunction with an enterprise resource planning system in order to generate desired outcomes for a customer and provide optimized profitability for the vendor. Outcome based pricing is achieved by first generating a bundle of line items. The line items are selected from a listing of known goods and services, and each line item includes an output. The summation of the outputs for the bundle of line items achieves a desired outcome. The desired outcome includes a quantity value and a quality value, and is received from a customer. Next, the bundle of line items is priced to determine invoice price, pocket price and margin. More than one such bundle is generated for the desired outcome, each bundle containing different combinations of line items. The pricing for each of these bundles is compared to identify a preferred bundle.
