Alternate Pricing

Alternate pricing provides the opportunity to overwrite the system discount structure for selected parts. This ability is especially useful for parts that are sold at a lower than normal mark-up.

For example, let's say that due to market pressures you find that you can only sell a short-block rebuilt motor that costs you $900 for $1,000 -- a price well below your standard mark-up. A customer that receives a 15% discount would only be charged $869.57 -- $30.43 less than your cost. To avoid this unprofitable circumstance, you could use alternate pricing.

To establish alternate pricing on an existing part:

Note: You can also apply alternate pricing to a new part. The steps are identical to the steps in this procedure except that you will work in the Add Part dialog box.

1. In the Edit Part dialog box, select Alt Price.

The Edit Alternate Prices dialog box displays.

2. Overtype the system-generated prices (Price column) with new prices. The alternate prices appear in red.

3. Select OK to save your changes. The alternate pricing will be used on all future orders.

OR

Select Default to restore the pricing to reflect the calculated discounts.
