When creating a new price break, the screen will display a base structure with 5 levels. This is normally enough for most price break structures.
If you need an additional level, enter and save the first 5 levels and edit the price break record again. The system automatically adds another level. This process can be repeated at will, adding a new level every time.
If the price break is defined with less than 5 levels, the system will trim down the number of level appropriately. If you add additional levels, the mechanism described above will provide additional levels as needed.
Example:
We need to create a price break structure for a product specifying 3 levels with various discounts per level:
| Level 1: 0 to 10 | Set the 'From
Quantity' to 0, set the 'To Quantity' to 10, set the discount rate to 0%. No discount until 10 products are ordered. |
| Level 2: 11 to 25 | Set the 'From
Quantity' to 11, the 'To Quantity' to 25, the discount rate to 10%. 10% discount is applied when at least 11 products are ordered. |
| Level 3: 26 and more | Set the 'From
Quantity' to 26, the 'To Quantity' to 999,999, the discount rate
to 20%. 20% discount is applied when at least 26 products are ordered. |
| Field Name | Description |
| Product | Product name. This field is read-only. |
| From Quantity | Enter the 'floor' quantity for the price break. Price break will be applied if the number of products in an order equals or exceeds this threshold. |
| To Quantity | Enter the 'ceiling' quantity for the price break. Price break will be applied if the number of products in an order is less or equal to this value. |
| Discount | Enter the discount rate (percentage) corresponding to the price break level. |
Repeat the data entry specified above for all desired price breaks.
