SO-Q-H  Enter Contract Prices

Purpose of Program

Contract prices allow you to establish special prices on specific items for individual customers.

In sales order entry the system will always look for a contract price first and if it exists, the program will not pull in the price code price and applying the appropriate discount.

An expiration date allows a time limit on contract prices.

General Program Operation

Type in the customer code or select a customer code by clicking on the Lookup icon (or press F2).  The customer name will automatically be displayed.

Type in the item number or select one from a pop-up window via the F2 key (or the Lookup button).  The product description will automatically be displayed, as well as the base price for reference.  If a base price does not exist, enter the first quantity contract price; this is a required field.  Type in a start date and, optionally an expiration date of the contract price.

You may specify up to ten quantity price breaks.  Enter the first price break and price.  If you enter the price, the discount from the base price is automatically calculated.  If you skip the price and enter the discount, the price is automatically calculated.  If you only enter one quantity and price, that price will apply to all quantities.

The price applies from one unit above the previous quantity break through the quantity break specified.  For example, if the first quantity and price are 100 and $50 respectively, the price of $50 applies to quantities from zero through 100.  If the next quantity break and price are 150 and $75, the price of $75 applies to quantities from 101 through 150.

Continue pressing <Enter> until the program asks you if you want to save the record, or click on the Save button (or press F10) from any point on the screen.
