File - Product Category - Buy 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 the procedure in this section)
• item wide – where quantity breaks are different for every stock item (refer to "File - Inventory - Price Breaks").

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"). This tab is only enabled if the Buy Price Breaks field on the Purchasing Configuration screen is set to Category.

You use the Category File Update screen - Buy Breaks tab if Micronet is setup for category-wide buy price breaks, to set specific item buy price breaks for each product category.

To create category-wide buy breaks:

1. Add a new product category or open an existing one.

Refer to "Adding a New Product Category" or "Updating a Product Category".

2. Select the Buy Breaks tab.

Micronet displays the Category File Update screen - Buy Breaks tab .

3. Complete the following fields:

4. Select FILE | SAVE.
