Using Quantity Pricing
Quantity-based pricing lets you automatically set different sales prices for items based on how many are being sold. This lets you offer discounts to customers who buy in bulk.
To enable quantity pricing:
-
Go to Setup > Company > Enable Features.
-
On the Transactions subtab, check the Quantity Pricing box.
-
Click Save.
After you enable the feature, set your accounting preferences for quantity pricing.
To set quantity pricing preferences:
-
Go to Setup > Accounting > Preferences > Accounting Preferences.
-
Click the Items/Transactions subtab.
-
In the Maximum # of Quantity-based Price Levels field, enter a number to set a limit for the quantity-based price levels for each item.
These quantities show up as columns on the Sales/Pricing subtab of item records.
-
To enter different discounts for each price level, check the Allow Quantity Discounts per Price Level on Schedules box.
-
Click Save.
Now you can enter your prices on the Sales/Pricing subtab of item records.
Quantity prices for items that appear in your web store also include a small chart with the item that explains the quantity-pricing discounts. To show this chart on item lists, go to Setup > Web Site > Setup Tasks > Set Up Web Site, click the Shopping subtab, and check the Show Quantity Pricing in Lists box.
The Quantity Pricing feature doesn't work with the Billing Classes feature, so you can't use both at the same time. If both are turned on, billing classes replace quantity pricing on service item records.
