Quantity Discounts Single Dialog Workspace

Use this workspace to maintain the quantity discounts that you offer to your customers.

You can page through the items in your stock and select a price list for each item. For every price list, you can enter prices and other information up to five steps. Maconomy retrieves the price lists in the pop-up field in this workspace from the Price Lists workspace.

You can work with several issues of a price list and look through available price list issues. When you look through different items, you can maintain the current price list and issue number. If the item does not exist in the current issue of the price list, Maconomy starts by searching for the item in the price list that is valid on the current date. If the item does not exist in that price list, Maconomy searches one of the existing issues of the current price list.

If the item does not exist among these issues, Maconomy searches for the item in the other price lists, starting with issue number 1 in the first price list.

You can also control the relation between the prices in the Step 1 field and the Recommended sales price field by using a markup percentage.

A quantity discount invokes a new, lower unit price, which determines the line price. Maconomy then applies any other line discount from a customer or item discount agreement.

For auditing purposes, it is recommended that you print out and file the quantity discount every time that you change it. To print out the card, use Print… in the File menu.
