How to create Special Price Schedules (SPS) for Customer Discounts

Updated over a year ago

Description

This document explains how to create special price schedules (SPS) for Customer Discounts.

  • This feature requires the optional Special Pricing module for WMS.

  • Ensure the SPS tag is switched on in Prefs.xml <WMSAsSPSSource>True</WMSAsSPSSource> (done by Datapel Support)

  • Ensure that SPS is also switched on in Preferences (Sales tab) under "Use Special Pricing Schedules (SPS)"

  • Special price uses best price , lowest price.

  • If the same Item involved in two or more SPS setups then if any setup price set to 0 price and/or 0 discount then WMS will default to Base Sell Price. To resolve this issue please amend/delete zero value line or put 100% discount to give for free to re-calculate correct price.

Workflow Restrictions

Tools > Preferences > Sales setting - "Always use Item Special Price if available".

When this option is ON, Best price is ignored and the priority is individual Customer in special pricing then Group pricing.

For example:
Item Standard price = $800.00
SPS for the customer = $1000.00
SPS for the customer Group = $500.00

  • If "Always use Item Special Price if available" is ON, the customer sales will be charged $1000.00

  • If "Always use Item Special Price if available" is OFF, the customer sales will be charged $500.00
