Quantity Discounts Tab
This section includes the fields and descriptions for the Quantity Discounts Tab.
Item Island
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Item No. | This is the number of the item. You can retrieve items using the search functions in the Find menu. |
| Description | This is the item text from the “Description Lang. 1” field from the Item Information Card. The text cannot be changed here. |
| Bill of Materials | This field shows whether the item is a BOM or a standard item. If the field is marked, the item is a BOM. BOMs must have price control to be assigned to a price list. |
| Graded Quantity Discount | If you mark this field, Maconomy will calculate quantity discounts as a graded discount. By graded quantity discount is meant a discount which does not affect all items on an order line but only the quantity of items within the quantity range of each quantity discount. If you for instance grant a discount of 10% on 2-4 items and a 20% discount on 5-10 items, it means that an order for 8 items will be granted no discount on the first item, a 10% discount on the next 3 items, and 20% on the last four items.
The field determines how quantity discounts are calculated in the subscription module. |
| Unit, Sales | This is the item sales unit. It cannot be changed here. |
| Minimum Sales Unit | This is the item’s minimum sales unit. The value cannot be changed here. |
| Pricing Unit, Sales | This shows how many item units are included in the unit price. This applies to sales price, cost, weight and volume. It cannot be changed here. |
| Unit, Purchase | This is the unit used when the item is purchased in the Item Purchase Orders window. It cannot be changed here. |
| Min. Purchase Unit | This is the item’s minimum purchase unit. It cannot be changed here. |
| Pricing Unit, Purchase | This shows how many units of the item are included in the unit price of the item for purchases. It cannot be changed here. |
| Sales/Purchase Unit | This shows how many sales units are included in one purchase unit. It cannot be changed here. |
Price List Island
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Here you select a price list from the existing price lists in the pop-up field. If you select a price list, which already includes the item, the table will show prices and discounts on all five steps. If you select a price list that does not already include the item, Maconomy suggests you include the item. |
| Currency | This is the currency of the price list. It cannot be changed here. |
| Period | In this field, the period in which the price list issue is valid is shown. |
| Issue | In this field, you can enter an issue number. If the number is zero, Maconomy will search for the period containing the current date, and the issue number of that period will be transferred to the field. |
| Quantity | Here you enter the minimum quantity a customer must buy to receive the discount. You can specify a value for up to six price steps as well as a recommended sales price.
Quantity and price on one price step can be zero even though they are greater at the higher price step. If quantity and price are zero, Maconomy uses the price from the highest underlying price step, for which quantity and price are not zero. If you enter a quantity, you must also enter either price or discount. If you leave this field blank, you cannot enter price or discount. The price at step 1 is, by nature, the price of one pricing unit of the item. Hence, the quantity at step 1 is always one. Maconomy verifies that the quantity is higher as the steps rise. |
| Price | Here you can enter a price per pricing unit on up to five steps.
The price applies to a customer order for as many items as are specified in the “Quantity” field. Maconomy verifies that the price at one step is not higher than the price at the lower price step. Alternatively, you can specify a percentage in the “Discount %” field. Prices are then automatically calculated from the price at step one. If you enter a value in this field and in the “Discount %” field, Maconomy calculates the discount percentage from the fixed price. |
| Discount % | Here you can enter a discount percentage per pricing unit on up to five steps. The price applies to a customer order for as many items as are specified in the “Quantity” field.
The percentage at step 1 is always zero. Maconomy verifies that the discount per pricing unit increases as price steps rise. Alternatively, you can specify a price in the “Price” field. Maconomy then calculates the corresponding discount percentage. |
| Step 1 | Here you enter the price of one pricing unit of the item. Quantity and Discount % cannot be changed at step 1, as the quantity is always one and the discount always 0. Maconomy suggests the price from the price list, but you can change it here. If you change the price at step 1, Maconomy automatically recalculates the prices at the other steps, using the discounts in the “Discount %” column. |
| Step 2 | Here you enter quantity, price and discount at step 2. Maconomy verifies that the quantity and discount are higher than at step 1, and that the price per pricing unit is lower than at step 1. |
| Step 3 | Here you enter quantity, price and discount at step 3. Maconomy verifies that the quantity and discount are higher than at step 2, and that the price per pricing unit is lower than at step 2. |
| Step 4 | Here you enter quantity, price and discount at step 4. Maconomy verifies that the quantity and discount are higher than at step 3, and that the price per pricing unit is lower than at step 3. |
| Step 5 | Here you enter quantity, price and discount at step 5. Maconomy verifies that the quantity and discount are higher than at step 4, and that the price per pricing unit is lower than at step 4. |
| Step 6 | Here you enter quantity, price and discount at step 6. Maconomy verifies that the quantity and discount are higher than at step 5 and that the price per pricing unit is lower than at step 5. |
| Recommended sales price | Here you enter the item’s recommended sales price. When you edit and create price lists from costs, the recommended sales prices is set at zero. |
| Recommended Markup % | In this field, you can enter a recommended markup percentage. This percentage determines the relation between the prices in the field “Step 1” and the field “Recommended Sales Price.” The amounts in the two fields are calculated as the price in the field “Step 1” plus the markup which is based on the markup percentage and the recommended sales price.
If the markup percentage or the recommended sales price is zero, the two price fields will not affect each other. If all three fields are completed, the values of the fields will be adjusted as follows:
