Aggregate Quantity Break Discounts for Suppliers

We have added new functionality to our Sage 200 Purchase Order Plus module to allow the system to automatically calculate quantity break discounts for different suppliers from within Sage 200.  Within Price Book, aggregate discounts can be set up for different quantity breaks for a selected product group.

This means that if there are several items from the same product group added to a purchase order, an aggregate discount can be created, even if the products do not meet the quantity break individually.

Sage 200 Purchase Order plus has been developed to allow rapid creation of purchase orders from within Sage 200, from within the standard Sage 200 purchase order entry screen.

How does it work?

In the example below, 2 aggregate quantity discounts have been created for a product group; 10% off for 5 products, 15% off for 10.  This can then be linked to a supplier, in this case Atlas Ranges Ltd.

Once in Purchase Order Processing, if an order is created from Atlas Ranges, which is equal to, or over the quantity break, the discount can be applied on save.  The discount is only applied if the products are all from the same product group.

The discount can also be over-written however by selecting No.  The aggregate discount is now added to the purchase order.

If a new purchase order from Atlas Ranges is created where the quantity total is greater than or equal to 10, a discount of 15% is now added to meet the quantity break discount that was set up.  The discounts are also applied if a purchase order is amended.
