Add/Edit Vendor Discount Code How Used When entering a line item on an Order Entry Order/Invoice, the code assigned to an Inventory PN's Vendor #3 field is compared to all the discount codes for this customer. If a match is found then the corresponding multiplier (as entered below) is used to calculate the initial default unit price for the item by multiplying the multiplier (ex .75) times the item's retail price (usually P1) If a match is not found then the remaining pricing defaults set up for this customer will apply. Note that the multiplier below may be entered with the first character as decimal point or as an M. When added to the pricing table list, it is stored as Mnnnn, which the pricing tables interpret as a multipler. The M is an assumed decimal point. Original application For a business that sells consigned inventory for a vendor, where the orders are actually billed and collected by the vendor. However the orders must be priced according to discount codes assigned to inventory, which customers have been assigned discount multipliers for these codes. Each customer may have different multipliers (resulting discounts) for similar sets of discount codes. Generally these discount codes and corresponding multipliers are imported (loaded) as text files into the pricing table for each customer using database tables furnished by the vendor. Also, the discount codes are loaded into each PN's vendor #3 field at the same time the vendors prices are also imported using text files based on Part# tables furnished by the vendor. These tables automate the pricing process so that the unit prices are automatic, therefore eliminating the salesperson from having to search tables to find the correct price for a particular customer.
