The Break Pricing feature will allow setting up quantity breaks on a "per item" basis.
The feature provides:
•Both 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 "Miscellaneous 1" page of Customer File Maintenance. Break Pricing feature has been given its own option setting in the on the Miscellaneous 1 tab in CFM_BreakPricing.
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.
