Volume-Based Pricing on Purchase Orders

Volume-Based Pricing allows you to set different cost prices for products depending on the quantity you are purchasing from a supplier.

Updated over a week ago

Why Use Volume-Based Pricing for Purchasing?

  • Reflects Real Supplier Costs: Matches your supplier's pricing model exactly.

  • Reduces Manual Work: No need to amend pricing for bulk buying on every Purchase Order.

  • Improves Cost Accuracy: Helps keep margins consistent and reporting precise.

When to Use This

Use Volume-Based Pricing when:

  • Your supplier offers discounts for bulk purchases.

  • You want OnRent to automatically apply the correct cost based on order quantity.
