Contract Pricing
Create contracts for specific products or by product group, category, or sub-category. Assign any number of contracts to a specific customer or list of customers, and assign the specific priority in which the contracts will be applied. Contract pricing discounts include: percent discounts off list price, percent markups from standard cost, specific dollar amounts, specific quantity break levels and more. Expiration dates can be assigned to each item on a contract list.
Advertised Pricing
Advertised pricing for special promotions specifies the starting date and expiration date and pricing. Specify pricing as discounts off list price, markups from cost or as specific dollar prices. Allow advertised price to override contract pricing or to assign the better of the two.
Special Pricing
Use special pricing on top of discounts other than contract and advertised pricing. As with contract pricing, special prices may be defined for specific products or for groups, categories or sub-categories of products and for specific customers or for shared list of customers.
Quantity Break Pricing
Define quantity break schedules to give standard percentage discounts off list price at specified break levels for specific products or groups, categories or sub-categories of products. Can also be assigned as specific dollar amounts for each quantity break level and can be assigned to specific customers or groups of customers. Also supports columnar pricing where quantities from different line items on the same order may be combined to give a cumulative discount quantity break.
Discount by Price List (Matrix Pricing)
Create customer price lists specifying discounts off list, markups from cost or specific dollar amounts on particular products. Multiple customer price lists can be defined for various customer types and pricing profiles. Specific customers can then be assigned to specific pricing profiles depending on the customer type. Contracts can reference the pricing from the Pricing Matrix, so that all prices can be maintained in one place.
Discounts by Warehouse
Discounts may be applied based upon the selling warehouse.
