Enhanced Pricing Available in Order Entry

Pricing for items in Order Entry is handled in Inventory Control. The item pricing features in version 5.4 of Inventory Control let you:

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

If you specify weight for an item, Order Entry can use 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.

The weight unit of measure for orders is the Default Weight Unit of Measure set in the I/C Options form in Inventory Control.

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.

This means that the unit of measure is now used in Order Entry to determine prices. (Previously, the way to do this was through volume discounts or by creating a kit for the different unit of measure.)

• Price items using a cost plus a percentage or a fixed amount.
