Break Pricing Tab will allow setting up quantity breaks on a "per item" basis with the following options:
•Set Starting and Ending dates (both dates optional),
•An option to control whether the Break Price will override a Customer Special Price
•An option to determine whether or not the prices will be updated to follow changes in the cost of items.
Break Pricing eligibility for a customer is controlled by a "Break Pricing" option setting on the Special Pricing Tab in Customer File Maintenance.
Once a pricing structure has been established the appropriate price will be chosen based upon the "Quantity Shipped" value of the item. As edits are performed the system will review the price to determine if the item has moved to a different break point.
The review and update of the price will only be done if the current Unit Price is a Break Price.
