Description

This article describes how to manage Special Pricing (SPS) in WMS.

This feature requires the optional Special Pricing module for WMS.
3. Ensure that SPS is also switched on in Preferences (Sales tab) under "Use Special Pricing Schedules (SPS)." (done by superuser login [email protected])

Workflow Restrictions

Special price uses best price, lowest price.

If the same Item is involved in two or more SPS setups, then if any setup price is set to 0 prices and/or 0 discount, WMS will default to Base Sell Price.

To resolve this issue, please amend/delete the zero value line or put a 100% discount to give for free to re-calculate the correct price.

(Workflow Options)

Options > Preferences > Sales tab - "Always use Item Special Price if available".

When this option is ON, the Best price is ignored, and the priority is individual Customers in special pricing than 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
