Setting Up Customer Special Pricing

§     Businesses occasionally offer special prices to a customer or group of customers. These are different to stock specials defined in the stock master that apply to all customers.

§     Customer specials can be loaded from Order Processing > Maintenance > Special Pricing.

§     The Maintain Debtor Special Pricing screen allows you to either load the special prices for a customer or view a list of customer with specials already loaded against them.

§     To load specials:

a)    Click Superfind All Customers to search the customer you want to load specials for.

b)    Select the customer and click Add New Specials.

c)     This powerful program allows you to either choose a range type of Product or Group.

d)    Only specify the Start and End Range when loading by group range.

e)    The system also enables you to enter a quantity range within which the special will apply.

f)      Specify the Start (can be blank) and End date within which the special will run.

g)    The Special Type is determines how the selling price will be computed. Can be a function of any of the 1-8 price levels less a given percentage of the price level (entered in the Percentage or Price field). The same applies for the “Cost + Percentage” and “Cost + Margin” special types. Alternatively a fixed price can be used by selecting this option and entering the amount in the Percentage or Price field.

h)    Goods on special normally sell at less than the normal retail price. However, it is not uncommon for a business to charge a special price even if it is higher than the normal price. Choose the selling price to be used from Load These Specials drop-down list.

i)      Click Add. To load a special against another customer click Select Customer.

 §       Special prices can also be applied to a group of customers, e.g. to a chain of supermarkets like Foodtown. This will mean all customers (branches in this example) that below to a particular group will buy product(s) at a special price(s).

 §       To do this enter the debtor code (either be a master debtor code or the Head-office) to link specials in the Special Pricing option field in the Maintain Debtors screen.
