In the Customer Details window - Price Schedule Exceptions tab, you can setup a price schedule discount system that offers different prices to different customers. This is common with many industrial and wholesale companies but if you are in the retail trade, this may not apply to you. Note: Price Schedule Exceptions specified on a Default Customer will carry over when creating new customers.
On the inventory records, you can enter a list price and then up to 99 discount schedules. On each inventory item, you can specify what price or discount to apply for each schedule. Price schedule 1 might be a 10 percent discount from list price and price schedule 2 might be cost plus 5 percent.
If a customer is negotiating for better prices, you could view their purchase history and find out what they are buying. If they purchase a lot of filters, gaskets and seals, you could offer them discounts on those items only while leaving the other items at the regular price. This way you can offer discounts on some products without giving away the store.
It's not very common, but sometimes a customer has a special pricing agreement with a manufacturer. You can setup a price schedule so that whenever this customer purchases goods you buy from that manufacturer, they get the discount.
Note: Price Schedule Exception ONLY work if the Exception is for a Price Schedule with a Number greater than the Price Schedule set for the Customer.
In the example above, the Price Schedule Exceptions are numbered 1 and 2. If the Price Schedule on the 'Financial' tab is Price Schedule 3, then the listed exception has no effect on the Customers pricing at the Point of Sale.
