It is often possible to achieve different cost pricing from a particular supplier or group of suppliers, depending on certain criteria on the Purchase Order. It is also occasionally possible to obtain a discount on items by purchasing in bulk. This method of pricing and price discounting can be achieved by using the Price Variance system.

Variances can be created for specific currencies and can be set to apply between certain date ranges.

It is then possible to configure Price Variances depending on a Product Group, a specific Product or a specific Supplier. Price Variances can be either a Fixed Cost or a percentage or value variance on the original Cost. In the example below a price variance has been created which will allow a 5% discount by purchasing 10 - 19 DVD's, and a 10% discount when purchasing 20 DVD's.

As a purchase order line is created, where Price Variances are found they will be automatically be applied. Also, a small icon is shown which will allow the user to view all available price variances, thus allowing user to see the discounts available. In the screen shot below, a line has been entered for 15 of a particular DVD. A discount of 5% has automatically been applied. The icon allowing the user to view the other price variances is circled.
