The Business Edge enables you to select Customers that are eligible for Special Pricing on select Products for a defined time period. You can also maintain multiple Promotions at the same time or schedule your promotions for a future date.
When an Order is entered in The Business Edge, the system will check to see if there is a price table for the specific Customer and Product, if so they will get that price. Then the system will check to see if there is a Promotional Price that Customer is eligible for, if there is, the price table price will be over-ridden by the Promotional Price. The Business Edge will then check to see if the Customer has Contract Pricing for the Product and if they do that will over-ride the Promotional Price
Customers can be setup to receive Promotional Pricing in Enter & Edit Customers, Additional Information, by answering Yes to Allow Promotional Prices. If this Customer Flag is set to Yes the Customer will receive special pricing based on the Promotional Prices entered.
The next step is to setup the Promotional Pricing by entering the prices in the System. This can be done in Inventory File Maintenance, Selling Price Maintenance, Promotion Price Maintenance. There are two menu items, Enter & Edit Promotions and List Promotions. In Enter & Edit Promotions a Promotion Code is entered. An example might be a APR2013, the description would be April 2013. Items are then entered along with the Price, Beginning Date and Ending Date. The list can be edited at any time by selecting the Promotion Code. Customers that are set to receive the Promotional Pricing will automatically receive the special price for the time period indicated in the Promotional pricing. The promotional pricing is based on the Order Date on the Heading Screen of the Order.
