All products in your product file must have a price line association. Price lines group products for selling, buying, and reporting purposes. Price lines are usually groups of items whose prices are updated at the same time, such as, products in a vendor line, products in a major segment within a vendor line, or products with a unique unit of measure.
Vendors supply you with their own local basis names. Local basis names vary from one vendor to the next, depending on location, vendor pricing, and price update information. Map local basis names to the Eclipse global basis names. The system refers to the global basis names to maintain standard pricing.
Set up product variables for each price line at the branch or territory level, such as product discounts and monitoring functions.
Determining default units of measure for each price line makes special orders easier to manage for order writers. You can override unit of measure settings at the product level.
Assigning authorization levels to each price basis in a price line restricts user access to pricing parameters as needed for security purposes at your organization. First, assign view levels to each user in your company, then assign a view level to each price basis in the price line.
You can set up rewards for customers who purchase a target dollar amount of selected products in a price line. Assign a points-per-dollar multiplier or percentage at the price line level. The customer is thereby encouraged to buy more products from this price line.
Define a default minimum gross profit percentage for the products in a price line to ensure your profits do not fall below that percentage for any product in the price line.
Define product zones for price lines to restrict bill-to customers from buying products within certain geographic zones. This approves the sale of certain products only in those zones.
You can sort items within a price line alphabetically, numerically, or by like products. Arrange the product list by priority according to how you work with the products.
