New Inventory Pricing Features, Including Pricing by Weight, for Version 5.4

Inventory Control’s item pricing features have been expanded to make pricing more flexible.

In version 5.4, you can now:

• Specify whether the discount price of the item is based on weight or on quantity.

If you specify weight, I/C lets you set volume discount amounts or percentages that are determined by item weight. The weights are calculated in Order Entry by multiplying the unit weight of an item times the quantity ordered, and converting the weight to default units.

Note: Pricing by weight is available only in Sage ERP Accpac 500.

• Price items by a single or multiple units of measure.

You can enter a base price for a single unit of measure or for multiple units of measure. You can also enter sale prices for single or multiple units of measure.

• Default the unit price using a cost plus a percentage or a fixed amount.

• Choose how you want Order Entry to respond to price overrides. Order Entry can:

• Do nothing.

• Display a warning message and let you continue.

• Display an error message and reject the price override.

• Force you to get a supervisor’s approval on price overrides.
