Setting Up Adjustment Definitions

Access the Price Adjustment Definition form.

Click the Options tab.

Level Break Type

Select one of these types to indicate how level breaks occur in the F4072 table:

Select Quantity and the system determines the correct adjustment based on the quantity ordered in the sales order. You can set up different adjustment breaks for different units of measure.

Select Weight and the system uses the weight assigned to the sales order detail line item to determine the proper adjustment level break.

Select Amount and the system uses the extended amount of the sales order detail line to determine the proper adjustment level break. When Currency Conversion is activated, all amount-level breaks are stored and displayed based on the floating decimals of the currency code.

Select Quality and the system uses the results from quality tests that are associated with the receipt line to determine the adjustment level break

Up Sell/ Volume-Buying Adjustment

An option that indicates whether an adjustment is eligible for up-sell processing during sales order entry or volume buying during purchase order entry. If you turn on this option, then you can specify only one entry for the selected adjustment hierarchy.

Override Price

Select to indicate that the override price overrides the base price. Clear to indicate that the adjustment calculates a discount or markup to the base price.

For Agreement Penalty Schedules, clear the override price.

Manual Add/Change

Specify whether the adjustment type can be manually added to or changed from the Price Adjustments form when you enter sales orders.

Mandatory Adjustment

Specify whether an adjustment is mandatory. Values are:

Y: This adjustment is mandatory.

N: This adjustment is optional.

Apply Absolute Value

Select to direct the system to disregard whether an order quantity is positive or negative when determining an applicable level break. This option affects negative values, such as those found on credit orders. Clear to accept the negative value (do not disregard the sign) of the order quantity. For example, assume that you select the option (the system disregards whether the order quantity is negative) and the following level breaks are set up in Advanced Pricing:

Quantities of 1 to 49 = 100 USD each

Quantities of 50 to 99 = 85 USD each

Quantities of 100 and over = 75 USD each

When you enter a credit order for −200 EA, the system disregards the sign before checking for a level break. In this example, the order line qualifies for the 75 USD level break.

Apply on Override Price

Select to indicate the system applies a price adjustment regardless of whether the unit price has been manually overridden. You can activate this option for any adjustment; however, the system issues a warning with adjustments that change the unit price.
