Contracts can be applied across Invoicing and Sales Order Processing Modules.

Contracts are assigned a priority from 1 (Highest) to 10 (Lowest). Higher priority contracts take precedence when more than one contract is valid.  When there is more than one contract valid at the highest priority, the system can be setup to take the lowest price, highest price or use an interactive dialog to select the contract to use.

Contracts can be used to either alter the unit price or to use the markdown amount or percentage to change the effective unit price of an item.  If using markdown, you may specify a separate GL Account to distribute the special price markdowns to.

A Contract can apply to All Customers, a specified Customer, or use a Customer Filter to select the required Customers.

The items a Contract are to be applied to can be limited by using an Item Filter. You may specify items in the Pricing Matrix and have the option of allowing these items to override the Item Filter. You can also force only items which exist on valid contracts to be allowed in transactions.

A Contract can be restricted using a Date Filter, or you can be left valid for all dates.

A Contract can be limited by field values on the transaction itself, by using the Additional Filter.

Lines in the Pricing Matrix can have Item Number, Site ID, Currency ID, Price Level and Unit of Measure specified.  If you leave any of these fields blank, the line will apply to all values for those fields.  Lines where these fields are specified take precedence over lines where the fields are left blank.

For lines where no Item Number is specified, the default number of Decimal Places for Currencies and Quantities can be controlled.

If Unit of Measure is not specified then all information for that line is assumed to be for the Base Unit of Measure and will be multiplied by the appropriate factor when used with other Units of Measure.

Each line in the Pricing Matrix may have one of 13 pricing modes.  These are: Fixed Price, Fixed Adjustment, % of Standard Cost, % of Current Cost, % of List Price, % of Calculated Price, % Markup - Current Cost, % Markup - Standard Cost, % Margin - Current Cost, % Margin - Current Cost, % Discount - List Price, % Discount - Calculated Price and No Special Price.

Rounding Options for rounding Up, Down or Nearest and to a Multiple of a number or ending in a number are available for each Set of Quantities.

Quantity Breaks are automatically calculated and can have different pricing modes for each.

The Pricing Matrix can be viewed selectively using an explorer style tree.  The tree can be viewed in six different orders.

Contracts can be duplicated to create slightly different contracts based on the current contract.

Comprehensive Contract Enquiry window allows simple checks of which items and customers fall into a specified contract and which contracts are valid a specified customer or item.

Powerful reports from both Contract Maintenance and Contract Enquiry windows allow all details viewed on screen to be printed.
