Micronet displays the Special Price File Update screen in Add Mode.

 

Technical Tip

The fields displayed at the top of this screen will differ depending on how special prices are configured in your company configuration. For more information, refer to "Edit - Program - Special Price". You will only see two of the first five fields described below; all the fields are the same from the Description field on.

  1. Complete the following fields:

 

Field

Value

 

Debtor Number

Enter the ID of the debtor to which this special price applies. You can also press Tab or Enter to select a debtor.

 

Sales Territory

Enter the ID of the sales territory to which this special price applies. You can also press Tab or Enter to select a sales territory.

 

Item Number

Enter the item number to which this special price applies for this debtor or sales territory. You can also press Tab or Enter to select an item.

 

Category

Enter the ID of the product category to which this special price applies for this debtor or sales territory. You can also press Tab or Enter to select a product category.

 

Bin

Enter the bin number to which this special price applies for this debtor or sales territory. You can also press Tab or Enter to select a bin.

 

Description

Enter any description that applies to this special price, e.g. Tendered price, Contract number, Created by Jim Smith, etc.

 

Starting / Ending Date

Enter or select the starting and ending dates for this special price. During order entry/invoicing, Micronet checks that this special price applies for a valid date range.

 

Head Office

Select Yes if this special price can only be maintained in head office, or No if it can be maintained in branches as well.

If a special price is Head Office maintained, store users cannot edit the price at all.

 

Price Groups / Price Breaks

Enter the special prices and/or price breaks that apply.

 

Disc One-Ten

Enter any special discount percentage or amount that you want to apply. This allows you to break down your discounts into different areas in the General Ledger. These discounts can be modified before posting an invoice.

These discounts override any default discounts setup in the discount matrix for this customer, but not debtor contract pricing.

 

Type

Select the type of discount that you want to apply based on the discount amount entered in the Disc fields. Options are:

  • Percentage
  • Dollar
  • Cents
  • Per Packet Price
  • % of Order.

 

Prevent Disc Change

Select whether Micronet should prevent further discounts being applied to items with this special price. Options are:

  • No – allows further discounts to be applied
  • Stop Discounts – prevents any further discounts from being applied
  • Stop all Prices - prevents prices from being changed during invoicing. This setting also ensures any supplier rebates setup are not negated during invoicing.

This setting applies throughout Micronet, including to invoices in the Distribution system and service billing jobs in Micronet Job Costing.

 

Technical Tip

Sell prices cannot be changed during the sales invoicing process when the Prevent Disc Change field is set to Stop all Prices.  This setting also ensures that supplier rebates, if set up, are not negated during the sales invoicing process.

 

Use Default Price

Select Yes if you want Micronet to use the price break selected in the Price field below as the customer's default price when processing sales orders for the selected item/product category/bin. This overrides the customer’s default pricing selection as setup in the Debtor master file.

Select No if Micronet should always use a customer's default price as setup in the Debtor master file.

 

Price

If you selected Yes in the Use Default Price field, select the price break that applies to this item/product category/bin for this special price.

  1. Select FILE | SAVE.

 

Technical Tip

2.8 Feature

Note that you cannot enter price breaks for sub-assembled product categories. Prices on sub-assembled items are determined by the total prices of the components, therefore when the quantity is changed, quantity price breaks do not apply.

If you have selected a sub-assembled category, Micronet displays the following message when you try to save your price breaks:
