The customer matrix code can be used for matrix code pricing or as another way to group customers for reporting purposes.
Up to 2 characters for the customer matrix code may be used when defining the customer's matrix code.
Matrix Code Pricing
Matrix code pricing allows for distributors to assign matrix codes to each of the items and to each of their customers. Markup percentages are then defined using the Inventory ribbon menu Cost/Price Utilities Price Matrix option. The markup % of the item is determined by the percentage value that is defined in the Price Matrix, where the customer and item matrix code intersect.
Using the Matrix Code for Customer Grouping
Some distributors use the matrix code as another means of grouping customers together, similar to an item class. Many of the reports in entrée can be filtered by customer matrix code. In addition many reports can optionally print, sort by, and/or group by customer matrix code.
