If your company offers quantity breaks, set up the following information on the Quantity Breaks screen. Suggested Cost/Price information is based on selling unit of measure.
The quantity break price may be entered as a basis and multiplier, a set price or a change. The valid options for basis for quantity break prices are as follows: list price, manual cost, standard price, or any previous quantity break price.
IC Static Control record Require Descending Prices Flag
If the require descending prices flag (in the IC Static record) is set to Y, all price breaks must be the same type (basis/multipliers or fixed amounts). Furthermore, if basis/multiplier is used, all price breaks must either use the same basis or they must be based on another price break. For example, if manual cost is the basis for break 1, the bases for breaks 2 through 6 must be either manual cost or one of the previous price breaks. The basis for levels 2 - 6 may not be set to list price or standard price.
If the require descending prices flag is set to Y, the prices for breaks 1 through 6 must be entered in a descending order. For example, if price break 1's price is $5.00 then the price for price break 2 must be less than or equal to $5.00.
In the Quantity Breaks section of the screen, enter the number of the quantity price break line (1-6) you want to add or modify. You can also press F3 or

You can enter the following:
1. Qty
Enter the minimum quantity that must be sold on a sales order document in order to utilize the price from the level.
For example, the standard price of I100 is $10.00 ea., the break 1 price is $9.75 and the break 2 price is $9.50. In order to receive a price of $9.75 the customer must purchase a minimum of 50. In order to receive a price of $9.50 the customer must purchase a minimum of 100. Therefore break 1's quantity is 50 and break 2's quantity is 100.
2. Basis
The system displays the basis options. Initially, you can select from L—Use List Price as Basis, M—Use Manual Cost as Basis, S—Use Standard Price as Basis. After you set the basis/multiplier all price breaks must either use the same basis or they must be based on another price break.
The basis options for additional quantity breaks are: L—Use List Price as Basis , or 1-6—Use Prior Quantity Break 1-6 as Basis. For example, if manual cost is the basis for break 1, the bases for breaks 2 through 6 must be either manual cost or one of the previous price breaks. The basis for levels 2 - 6 may not be set to list price or standard price.
