The combined use of these two features allows for very strict control over pricing.
The security option Change Price Level allows you to lock out price level changes. So, if a customer is nominated as Price Level 1, you can be sure that stock will always be sold to him at that price level, ie. you can effectively stop users changing price levels at a job level.
Simply tick/untick this security option under Tools > Security > Jobs to enable/disable this option for individual security groups.
The second security option with respect to selling price is Price Break Movement Down. This allows you to set a unit price, as well as volume/quantity price breaks for each price level, but gives you the option to restrict which staff members can give which quantity break discounts or movements.

Each stock price level can be set with a unit price and up to four additional volume price breaks. |

Break 2 |
