Creating a New Price Rule for a Creditor

The Setup Cost Price window allows you to setup purchase prices from a creditor for a single stock item, a group of stock items with a discount applied. Similarly this is applied to stock price groups, where the group is any variety of similar stock items assigned to a group.

Click the New Price Rule button on the Discounts/Prices tab of the Creditor Details window to open the Setup Cost Price window.

To set up cost prices:

1. For a single stock item, enter a Stock Code (if this is unknown, enter "?" and press tab to open the Stock Search window). If the cost pricing is to be determined by a group, choose this group from the Stock Price Group dropdown.

2. Enter the Price Type details in the fields provided. If stock price grouping is enabled, the supplier price option is no longer available. If an item is not available from the supplier, a substitute may be required. If substitutes are available, enter the cost price for the substitution item here.

3. If discounts are attainable from the supplier, there may be Conditions to receive these, such a minimum order quantity. Alternatively these stock items may be sold only in batches, requiring the minimum quantity field to be completed. If discounts or prices are only for a predetermined period, enter the start and stop dates that define the discount period.
