Contract Price Entry (SOE560)

How to

The Contract Price Entry program allows you to create and/or maintain contract prices. The entry screen consists of these parts:

header, where you can specify that the contract is for all customers and/or items, the contract type, the effective and expiration dates and whether the contract is for all direct ships or all warehouse ships .
standard pricing, where you create contract standard pricing and commission information for the customer/item scope selected.
price level pricing information, where you create contract price level and commission information for the customer/item scope selected.
quantity break pricing information, where you create contract quantity breaks, prices and commission information for the customer/item scope selected.

Processing Details

You have these options.

Contract Price by Ship-To: You can specify that a contract is valid for all customer ship-to addresses or for only designated ship-to addresses.
Copy Contract: Any new contract can be copied from an existing contract.
Contract Price by Warehouse: Any contract can be valid for all shipping warehouses or only the warehouses you specify.
Shipment Type Designation: For each contract, you can specify whether the pricing is valid for warehouse shipments, direct shipments or both.
Multiple Scopes for One Contract: Instead of creating the same contract more than once for a few customers or items, you can simply create the contract and then assign which customers/ship-tos, items, warehouses, and vendors the contract applies to.
"Approval" Flag: You can create contracts in Contract Entry with an effective date. A contract is not active until it’s been approved, even after the effective date. Select the Approve button to set this flag (check the box to approve the contract, un check the box to set the contract as ‘not approved’ and thus inactive, even if the effective date has passed). Fields for Approved Date and Approved Reviewer are also available.
Rounding Codes: Each contract can be assigned a flexible rounding code, which can round prices up or down to a specified cents (i.e., to .99) and/or dollar increment (i.e., the nearest $5.00). The rounding codes are completely user-defined.
