SO-Q-D Enter Price Codes

Purpose of Program

Use this program to establish up to 999 separate price codes (price lists).

Each customer may be assigned a specific price code via the customer master file in the Accounts Receivable module.  An example of how to use price codes would be using price code 1 for retail, code 2 for dealer, code 3 for distributor, code 4 for OEM's, etc.

Ten quantity price breaks may be defined for each product within each price code.

General Program Operation

Type in the item number or select one from a pop-up window by pressing the F2 key (or clicking on the Lookup button).

The description will automatically display.  If a Base Price has been defined previously, it will be displayed.  A base (list) price must be entered.  If you do not use list prices, enter your first level price as the base price.

Enter the first quantity.  Next, assign the price that will apply from zero up through this quantity.

If you assign a price, the discount percentage from base price will automatically display.  You may skip the price, enter a discount percentage, and the price will automatically be calculated.

If you only specify one quantity break, that price will apply to all quantities.  You may continue specifying price breaks; up to ten price breaks per item may be established.  The price within each quantity break ranges from one unit above the previous price break quantity up through the quantity break specified.  For example, if the first quantity break is 50, then base price (0% discount) would be entered on the first line with a quantity of 49 meaning that no discount applies if 49 or fewer are purchased.  If the next break is 75, then a quantity of 74 would be entered on line 2 and the price applying to quantities 50-74 would be entered on that line.

When you are finished specifying quantities and prices, either continue pressing <Enter> until the system asks you if you wish to save the record, or click on the Save button (or press F10) from any point.
