Specific pricing contract – one or more customers
There is a selection of products available to sell to a customer at an agreed price and period of time.
▪Create a new promotion and set promotion Type to CardFile.
▪Add the cardfile(s) to the promotion Recipients (use Enter twice to move to a new line). This can be done individually, or via Load Recipients from CardFile List. To use this option, create a cardfile list first. This will then be selectable in this area.
▪Set the promotion start and end dates (if based on a period).
▪Add the stock, along with price, buy breaks, commission information, etc.
▪Tick Promo Break, ensuring that no other promotions will apply. The Promo Break forces a price to be calculated at that point, and stops moving down the ranking to see if there are lower prices.
The above example is the same as adding customer-specific pricing to stock, but a lot more manageable. The only current limitation in using a cardfile promotion in this way is the price calculation method is effectively Fixed Pricing only. |
Specific pricing contract – multiple customers (eg. buying group, franchise, etc.)
There is a selection of products available to sell to a group of customers at an agreed price and period of time.
▪Create a new promotion and set promotion Type to CardFile Group
▪Add the cardfiles to a Non Report Group
▪Add the CardFile Group to the promotion Recipients. This can be done individually, or via Load Recipients from CardFile List. To use this option, create a cardfile list first. This will then be selectable in this area.
▪Set the promotion start and end dates (if based on a period)
▪Add the stock, along with price, buy breaks etc.
▪Tick Promo Break, forcing that price to be used and ensuring that no other promotions will apply. The Promo Break forces a price to be calculated at that point, and stops moving down the ranking to see if there are lower prices.
Sale promotion for retail customers only
The company is having a sales promotion, but does not want to offer it to non retail customers (wholesale, government, etc.).
▪Create a new promotion and set promotion Type to Price Level
▪Add the Price Level to the promotion Recipients (eg. Retail)
