Vendor Price Breaks

 Vendor Price Breaks are set up at the Product Level. You might purchase the same item from multiple Vendors, each of whom have a different pricing structure. This is what Vendor Price Breaks are for!

Vendor Price Break costs are only calculated during Purchase Order Entry.

Vendor Price Break costs will not be reflected when entering a Vendor during Sales Order Entry. The Default PO Cost will be displayed on the Sales Order.

1. Open the Product window.

  1. Open the Product record
  2. Select the Price Breaks tab
  3. Click the + symbol under Vendor Price Breaks to add a new pricing level.
Open the Product window.

After you click the + symbol, you'll see the window below. Enter the price break info as follows:

  • From Date: The first date on which the Price Break is active, in MM/DD/YY format. If the Price Break is not date-sensitive, either leave this field blank or at 00/00/00.
  • To Date: The last date on which the Price Break is active, in MM/DD/YY format. If the Price Break is not date-sensitive, either leave this field blank or at 00/00/00.  
  • From Quantity: The minimum order quantity for quantity-level Price Breaks. If your company orders an amount between the From Quantity and the To Quantity amount from your Vendor, then you qualify for the Price Break discount. You can define multiple quantity-level price breaks for each Vendor Price Break (although you want to be sure that the quantities do not overlap). You are not required to use a quantity-level delimiter. If the Price Break is not quantity-sensitive, either leave this field blank or at 0.  
  • To Quantity: The maximum order quantity for quantity-level Price Breaks. If your company orders an amount between the From Quantity and the To Quantity amount from your Vendor, then you qualify for the Price Break discount.
