The Special and Quantity Discount Pricing On Inventory program is used to enter in part numbers for Special and Quantity discounts.

The Location entered into the Special and Quantity Discount Pricing On Inventory Entry must correspond to the Order Location when calculating special pricing at “POS Order Entry” in POINT OF SALE (1.1).

The Start and End dates in the Special and Quantity Discount Pricing On Inventory are used to give specials for a specified period of time.  Press <ENTER> to activate the special pricing immediately.

There are up to five levels to assign Quantity Sold Price Breaks. Quantity sold break points must be in ascending amounts. You may set the quantity to one (1) for monthly specials that are not based on the number of items sold.

To set up a Monthly Special, set the Start and End Dates for the beginning and ending dates of the month. Set the Quantity Sold break to 1. Be sure to activate the special pricing. When the month is over - so is the special.

After typing in a Quantity Sold Break, you are prompted for the Quantity Discount Percent. Type in the percentage and press <ENTER> or just press <ENTER> to assign exact dollar amounts in the Price Code section.

The list of inventory Price Codes will be displayed with the different price levels. Type in the Price Code you want to discount, if not listed, and press <ENTER>. If you change a Price Code you must go to line 3 and

<ENTER> through the "Quantity Discount %" for the system to recalculate the discount.

If you want to eliminate a Price Code, press <DEL>and press <ENTER>. To change the price of a level, type in the dollar amount and press <ENTER>. 

NOTE: You need to run "Recalculate Special Pricing" (2.2.4.3) whenever a change has been made. Items without a Quantity Discount Percent (%) WILL NOT GET RECALCULATED. Also, every time you make changes in "Costs and Prices Entry" in INVENTORY (5.1.2 field 2) you should recalculate the discounts.

When <S>aving or <D>eleting an item in a multi-location environment you will be prompted for Region to Copy to.

There is a TCL command REM.ISP.PC that will allow removal of price codes from the Inventory Special Price File. Use this to remove Price Codes for all Part Numbers and all Locations in this file. The Price Codes setup in "Costs and Prices Entry" in INVENTORY  (5.1.2) will not be affected.  And The Location entered into the special Pricing entry must correspond to the Order Location when calculating special Pricing in "POS Order Entry" (1.1) in POINT OF SALE.

Customers can also be setup to receive a specific quantity break price level on both Mfrs and Part numbers, regardless of the quantity purchased. This is setup at the Price Code prompt, using L1 through L5 for quantity discount pricing level breaks. The % Discount option is still available if desired. In the following example, the customer receives 10% off Quantity Discount Pricing level 5 pricing (or best available level) for all Mfrs:

1. Mfr  Name       Group Code                    Unit   % Disc Price Code

   *                                                     10.00 L5 Level 5

Since most quantity discounts are not setup for every part in a Mfr, level pricing will be skipped over on any items that do not have a quantity discount on file. This only applies to Mfr special pricing, not individual part special pricing.

For example:

1. Mfr.  Name           Group Code         Unit   % Disc Price Code

   3M    MMM COMPANY                                     L5 Level 5

   3M    MMM COMPANY                                5.00 5 Refinisher

If a 3M part has a quantity discount setup, the customer will get Level 5 (or best available level) pricing.  Otherwise, the special price would be 5% off Refinisher. It must be setup in the above order, which is standard with our special pricing rules.

Also an appropriate description ("Level 1"-"Level 5") was added to the Special Pricing for Customers Listing (2.2.2.5).
