better cost if you order more.
Note:Each Cost break record MUST HAVE both start and end dates to be valid. If both dates have not been selected, the system will prompt you before leaving the record.
·To add a cost break for an item's vendor, enter the purchasing quantity specified by the vendor in the "Quantity break" field. You will be prompted with a calendar to enter the start date for the cost break. ·To add additional cost breaks for the same vendor, use the "+" button within the Cost break section, or hold down the [Ctrl] key and press [A].
·If there is more than one vendor for an item, and they all have cost break information, use the black left and right black arrow buttons at the top of the Regular Cost section to move to the next or previous vendor. The Cost break information changes to reflect that vendor's cost breaks. Then, use the black left and right black arrow buttons at the top of the Cost break section to move to the next or previous cost break for the selected vendor.
·To remove a cost break from an item, select the appropriate vendor from the Regular cost section, then select the cost break information to remove and press the scissor button at the top of the Cost break section. Accept the prompt that appears asking if the cost break information should be removed from this vendor for this item.
Quantity Break: The quantity break field is used to enter the case quantities (or units if purchased that way ) that must be purchased from this vendor to obtain the cost break. Remember that you can have different levels of Cost breaks from each vendor. For example if you purchase between 10 and 20 cases, the vendor offers a certain cost, but between 20 and 30 cases, there is a better cost. Each cost break level is programmed to reflect the purchasing information.
From / To: Both the from and to fields must contain valid dates for the cost break offer. Double click the date fields to open a calendar utility, making date selection easy. You can also enter the dates manually, keeping in mind that the date format for these fields follows the Windows "Regional settings" setup for date formats on the host computer.
$ Discount: Enter the discount amount in dollars, if the vendor offers a dollar based discount for this cost break.
%Discount: Enter the discount amount as a percentage, if the vendor offers a percentage based discount for this cost break.
Unit Cost: The Unit cost field is the calculated cost per unit based on the information entered above. You cannot edit this field directly, and appears as a confirmation. This field is handy to quickly see the difference between the Regular Cost unit price, and the Cost break unit cost.

Using the inventory feature
The system can track inventory levels to assist the ordering and receiving process. The first step is to define whether stock on hand and reordering is being used on the item. These settings are available in the PLU maintenance. The inventory settings are located in the same column as the regular retail price on level 1. Note that changing to another level does not affect the inventory settings you make. All price levels share the same stock on hand.
The table below shows the fields that can be defined in regards to the inventory tracking for each item. There are four fields to define.
