Enter Price Breaks for Quotation Lines

Explanation

Price breaks on quotation lines are used to specify ranges of quantities, in which the part on a specific quotation line has a different price per piece. When price breaks are used, the quotation line will not necessarily contain a fixed quantity. This requires that the customer specifies the actual quantities he or she wants to order when confirming the quotation, and that these quantities are entered on the quotation lines before the order is created.

Price breaks are entered manually in the Price Breaks dialog box and will decide the final prices for the customer. You can reach this dialog box by right-clicking a quotation line in either the Sales Quotation/Quotation Lines tab window or the Sales Quotation Lines window and selecting Price Breaks in the menu that appears.

If a quantity is later added to the line, it must be within the range for the price breaks, i.e. it is not possible to enter a quantity for which there is no price specified. In that case, the price breaks must be removed from the line or a new line without price breaks must be created.

Any possible discount will have no influence on the prices.

Prerequisites

• The quotation line must have been entered and saved.

System Effects

As a result of this entry, price breaks for the quotation line are defined for different quantities. These price breaks will be listed on the printout of the quotation. If there are price breaks, quantities and totals will not be printed on the printout.
