Why:

Special prices are created after agreements are made between the dealer and the customer. These agreements can be set as a discount percentage, fixed price or quantity discount and can be applied to customer, customer discount category and department (parts or workshop).

Depending upon parameter settings special prices can be set higher than the Volvo retail price. Where special prices exist at both branch and company, a parameter determines which of the two should take precedence.

 

Where:

From the Part View, select Actions > Special Price.  This displays a company view of special prices. From the part view highlight a part, right-click and select Part > Open > Pricing. This displays the Parts Master File at the ‘pricing’ tab, alternatively, double-click a part and select the ‘pricing’ tab.

 

How to Maintain Special Prices:

To view all special prices, from the part view, select Actions > Special Price. Prices can be viewed, opened for amendment, copied from one part to another or deleted. Where dates have expired these can be purged.

To create a new special price, from the part view, highlight the required part, right click and select part > open > pricing.

Within the pricing tab select File > New > Special Price to display the Create special price window.

Enter required selection criteria. Where fields are left blank the special price affects all branches, customers and customer discount codes. There is an option to exclude customers from a special price offer, to create an exclusion select File > New > Exclusion and input the customer or discount category.

To create a quantity discount select File > New > Quantity Discount and input the quantity and either the discount percentage or fixed price to be applied within the special price.

Once created, special price records can be amended or deleted from both the Company view or from the Pricing Tab in the parts master file against the individual parts.
