In addition to special prices for business partners, SAP Business One lets you define validity periods
and quantity-dependent prices for your standard price lists.
Use this function if you want special prices to depend on the items and associated price lists, and not
directly on the business partners.
After setting up period discounts and volume discounts for all business partners, you can define
special business partner-dependent prices for items in specific price lists.
If a customer purchases an item, and neither a special price nor a discount group has been defined for
the customer or this item, the special prices for the price list apply. This is the price list specified in the
Business Partner Master Data window.
Procedure
1. From the SAP Business One Main Menu, choose Inventory Price Lists Period and Volume
Discounts.
The Period and Volume Discounts window appears.
2. Select a price list.
3. Either select each item individually in the Item No. column, or enter a range of items by using
the Add Items button, as follows:
a. To select multiple items, choose the Add Items button.
b. In the Special Prices – Items – Selection Criteria window, specify a range of items for
which you want to define special prices in the selected price list.
c. To copy the selected items to the table in the Period and Volume Discounts window,
choose the OK button.
These items are displayed in green in the Period and Volume Discounts window. Green
indicates that these item rows have not been changed; that is, no special price or
discount has been assigned to them in the selected price list.
Note
The item description is displayed automatically when you select an item number.
The Price field displays the item's price as defined in the selected price list. If you define
a special price for this item in the selected price list, the price changes accordingly (only
in the selected price list).
4. In the Period and Volume Discounts window, right-click a row and select Period Discounts.
Alternatively, double-click a row.
The Period Discounts window appears.
5. Specify the Valid from and Valid Until dates for the discount. You can define as many validity
periods as needed.
6. Verify that the price list displayed is the one from which you want the base price to be taken.
The price list displayed is the one you selected in the Period and Volume Discounts window.
Do not change the price list in this window.
7. Specify a discount percentage.
Note
The Price after Discount value is calculated as the price in the selected price list minus
the discount. If you set the Price after Discount manually, the discount percentage is
calculated automatically.
8. Specify in one of the following ways how the special price should be updated whenever the
price list linked to the item row is updated:
To recalculate the price automatically according to the discount percentage, leave the
Auto checkbox selected.
To keep the special price the same, deselect the Auto checkbox.
9. To define volume discounts for a validity period, double-click its row number and proceed as
10. To save your changes, choose the Update button.
Example
The HP LaserJet 4 in Price List IBM has a price of $30. However, the prices for
transportation have risen, and the manager decides to raise the entire price list by a
factor of 1.5. The updated price for the HP LaserJet 4 is now $45.
In reviewing the updated price list, the company decides that the new prices are too high
for some items. The company offers a discount of 20% just for the HP LaserJet 4 during
July and August by entering 20 in the Discount column of the Period Discount window.
The Price after Discount is now $36.
Although the Price field in the Period and Volume Discounts window does not show the
new price after discount, the item is displayed in blue. This indicates that a discounted
price applies conditionally.
