Set up a predefined set of matrix limits together with their discount

Related topics

Pre-defined matrix limits can be defined together with the discount you want to grant. Matrix limits are typically connected to a matrix base item.

For example, if your company standard is to give 1% discount for each 1000 sold then you would create a matrix limit code according to the following matrix quantities:

Matrix quantity limit	Discount
1000	1%
2000	2%
3000	3%
4000	4%
5000	5%

The Matrix limit codes can then be assigned to the following:

Sales pricing method
Customer contract
Sales price list

To set up a matrix limit code, do as follows:

Access the Limit codes table.
On the initial panel, click Add.
You access Work with limit codes in add mode. Complete the following fields:

Limit code: Enter the code.
Description: Enter the description.
Limit type: Enter the panel value for Matrix.
Unit: Mandatory entry when defining a matrix limit code. Enter the unit in which the item must be sold in order to qualify for the price or discount for this limit code.
Currency: Optional entry when defining a matrix limit code. Optionally enter the currency in which the item must be sold in order to qualify for the price or discount for this limit code.
Claimable: This field is only displayed if the DC1 Supplier Marketing Support (SMS) application is activated. If you have Customer contracts and/or Sales price lists that use limit codes and you plan to claim the discount generated by this limit code, set this field to True. (See About DC1 Supplier Marketing Support (SMS) for more information.)

Press enter to update and return to the initial panel.

Highlight the new record and click Details.
On the Work with limit codes, Matrix limits panel, click Add and complete the following fields:

Matrix limit: Enter the quantity that the customer has to purchase in order to receive the discount. The pricing retrieval will work as follows: the accumulated quantity for all sales order lines that have the same “Segment 1 value” will be compared to the matrix limit.
Discount %: Enter the discount percentage applicable for the matrix limit.

Click OK to update and exit the program. Your limit code is now ready to be used within the set-up of sales price lists, customer contracts and sales pricing methods.
