Price Matrix - Wizard (Price Methods)
The style of the Price Methods window depends on the Price List Type selected on the Price List window.
This topic describes the window for Standard Price Lists. For Standard Price Lists you must choose the price method for the products in your price list.
Each product selection will be displayed and can have a different pricing method applied.
Product Selection grid - Pricing
First you should select the pricing structure that is to be applied to each product: Single or Quantity.
Double-click the product line to change the selection.
Single
The discount method you select is applicable to each item ordered.
Quantity
The discount is applied based on the quantity ordered.
The entry fields in the lower pane of the window vary according to the method selected.
Method
The pricing methods are: Fixed, Line Discount, Price Discount, and 'Cost Price +'. APM Method is set to 'Cost Price +' for a Price List created via the APM, and the entered discount % or value is applied to the Cost Price. The Cost Price is dependent on the 'Calculate Cost + from' option selected in System Control APM options.
Example: Calculate Cost + from Cost Price 1: Always uses Cost Price 1 unless the Stock Record is flagged as Sub Analysis, in which case the Sub Analysis Cost Price is always used, unless 'Use Main Cost' option in System>>Stock options>>Sub Analysis is = ON - in which case, the Sub Analysis Main Cost Price will be used.
All these methods are available to both Single or Quantity based pricing methods.
Fixed
The price for each unit is entered and is fixed.
Line Discount
The discount you enter will be applied to the whole line of the order.
Price Discount
The price for each unit is discounted by the amount you enter.
