File - Product Category - Sell Breaks

Micronet 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 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 sell price breaks are applied is setup in the Sell Price Breaks field on the Invoicing Configuration screen (refer to "Edit - Program - Invoicing").
This tab is only enabled if the Sell Price Breaks field on the Invoicing Configuration screen is set to Category.

For example, an item may be setup with the following retail price breaks:

Retail Price	Retail Price Name	Sales Quantity
Retail 1	Promotion	Not Applicable
Retail 2	Contract	Not Applicable
Retail 3		Not Applicable
Retail 4	Volume	10000 +
Retail 5	Bulk	1000+
Retail 6	Quantity	100+
Retail 7	Wholesale	10+
Retail 8	Retail	Not Applicable

To enter category-wide selling price breaks:

Add a new product category or open an existing one.

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

Select the Sell Breaks tab.

Micronet displays the Category File Updatescreen - Sell Breaks tab .

Complete the following fields:

	Field	Value
	Price Group 2 Break
	Break 200 - 1	Enter each sell break quantity for retail (Price Group 2) customers for the selected product category, where sell price 1 is the lowest price (largest quantity) and 8 is the highest price (smallest quantity). Micronet checks that the sell price breaks are entered correctly.
	Price Group 1 Break
	Break 200 - 1	Enter each sell break quantity for wholesale (Price Group 1) customers, where sell price 1 is the lowest price (largest quantity) and 8 is the highest price (smallest quantity).

Select FILE | SAVE.

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:
