File - Inventory - Price Breaks

Micronet supports quantity buy breaks, where the larger the quantity bought from a supplier, the better the buy price selected by Micronet. The buy price break is checked during the receipting of items from suppliers during the goods received process.

Product buy breaks can be setup within Micronet to be applied:

• system wide – where the same quantity breaks apply for all items for the entire company (refer to "Edit Company - Edit - Price Names").
• category wide – where the same quantity breaks apply throughout a product category (refer to "File - Product Category - Buy Breaks")
• item wide – where quantity breaks are different for every stock item (refer to the procedure in this section).

Technical Tip The option to set the way buy price breaks are applied is setup in the Buy Price Breaks field on the Purchasing Configuration screen (refer to "Edit - Program - Purchasing"). Note that buy price breaks are overridden by any special supplier prices.

Micronet also supports quantity sell breaks during the invoicing process, where the larger the quantity ordered by the customer the better the selling price selected by Micronet. Pricing normally reduces from Price 8 (highest price) to Price 1 (lowest price) as the quantity being sold is increased. Price breaks are overridden by any special prices.

Product sell breaks can be setup within Micronet to be applied:

• system wide – where the same quantity breaks apply for all items for the entire company (refer to "Edit Company - Edit - Price Names")
• category wide – where the same quantity breaks apply throughout a product category (refer to "File - Product Category - Sell Breaks")
• item wide – where quantity breaks are different for every stock item (refer to the procedure in this section).

Technical Tip The option to set the way sell price breaks are applied is setup in the Sell Price Breaks field on the Invoicing Configuration screen (refer to "Edit - Program - Invoicing").

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