Setting Up Item Pricing
Use the following procedure to set up pricing for items.
To set up pricing for items:
-
Open an item record in edit mode, and then click the Sales/Pricing subtab.
Note:To let customers choose the amount of an item, such as a donation or a gift certificate, do not complete this subtab. Instead, click the Store subtab, and then check the Variable Amount box.
If you enter a price on the Sales/Pricing subtab, and then check the Variable Amount box, the price you set is the default amount.
-
Under Pricing, if you use quantity pricing schedules, select the pricing schedule you want to use to set prices for this item. Selecting a pricing schedule sets the Use Marginal Rates and Calculate Quantity Discounts fields.
You can create pricing schedules at Lists > Accounting > Quantity Pricing Schedules > New.
-
Check the Use Marginal Rate box if you want the quantity discounts in the schedule to be applied to each pricing bracket separately.
For example, a schedule offers no discount for the first 100 items sold and a 5% discount if more than 100 are sold. If 150 items are sold, the first 100 are at normal price, and the other fifty items are sold at 5% discount.
Leave this box clear if you want the discount to apply to all of the items sold.
-
In the Calculate Quantity Discounts field, choose how to determine the quantity for pricing:
-
By Line Quantity - pricing is applied according to the quantity included in the line item.
-
By Overall Item Quantity - pricing is applied for all line items for the same item on a transaction.
-
By Overall Parent Quantity - pricing is applied for all items with the same parent item on the transaction. This can be useful for applying quantity pricing to matrix items.
-
By Overall Schedule Quantity - pricing is applied to all items that use the same pricing schedule that are included in the transaction.
-
-
In the Pricing Group field, select the pricing group this item is a member of. Using pricing groups enables you to assign customer-specific price levels for a group of items.
