Purpose
Contract Pricing can be used to establish “Special” (non-Standard) product pricing for a specific customer or for a group of customers. If you want to apply the same Contract Pricing to a group of customers, then you should create a Contract Price List ‘Code’ using this function so that you only have one set of contract pricing to maintain.
Contract Prices are linked to customers by specifying the Contract Price List Code on the Customer’s Details.
The actual product pricing is defined in the Contract Prices function using a specific Contract Price List code.
Note that Contract Pricing takes precedence over all other pricing criteria, including discount percentages. Where Contract Pricing applies to a given customer/product combination during transaction entry, the abbreviation “CP” will appear (on screens and reports) as a visual indicator.
Data Input
Step 1 – Contract Price List Code
Contract Price List Code
Enter a new, unique contract price list code that does not already exist on the system. You may select an existing Contract price list code for editing.
The Contract Price List code is used to group non-standard product pricing that can then be applied to one or more customers. For details on the use of “codes”, see The Role of “Codes” in Online Advantage

Step 2 – Description
Name
Enter the contract price list name. It is used as a general description of the contract pricing included under a given “list”. For more details on descriptions, see The Role of “Names & Descriptions” in Online Advantage
Price List
Optionally select the Standard Price List that this Contract List ‘overrides’. This Price List is used for reporting purposes to retrieve the Replacement Cost and the Standard Selling Price of the products involved for comparison to the Contract Pricing and for calculating margin/markup. If no Price List is specified, then the system Default price list is used.
