If you have a customer with a contract price and you want that contract price to be the price they get provided the parameters of the contract (i.e. valid dates) are met regardless of whether the contract price is higher or lower than the current sell price.

NOTE: You DO NOT need to disable best of pricing system reference in order to run the system references below.

System Reference 1

1. Type ‘SELL-PRICES’
2. Code ‘NO-PROMOTION-FOR-PRICE-CODES’
3. Description [all price codes to override promotions] (in this case ‘CS|PCS’ for contract price specific)

System Reference 2

1. Type ‘SELL-PRICES’
2. Code ‘ALLOW-SELL-PRICES-TO-INCREASE’
3. Description and value set to 1

Please read the above, decide on whether or not you wish to run with these system references. If you would like to activate any of these, please change the value and description of the system references as necessary.

More details can be found in the document “Contract Pricing Override”, available in the Downloads section of our web site.

Just a reminder, there are settings you can use for skipping lines for scanning and entering products into a sales screen.

There are several settings in the system that relate to skipping lines:

Type “REGISTER”, code “SKIP-LINE-FOR-BAR-CODES”

When the value of this system reference is 1 the POS (point of sale) will skip to a new line when you scan a bar code. Bar code being defined as a bar code that is different to the product code.

Type “REGISTER”, code “SKIP-LINE-FOR-ALL”

When the value of this system reference is 1 the POS (point of sale) will skip to a new line when you enter any product. So if you scan in a bar code that is the same as the product code, a bar code from the product supplier or manually enter a product code the POS will skip to a new line.

Type “REGISTER-[register number]”, code “COMPRESS-BAR-CODE-SCANS”

When the value of this system reference is 1 the POS (point of sale) will add the lines together producing a total quantity supplied on the one line for the same product. I.e. scan product A 3 times, it produces 1 line of sale but quantity will read as 3.

Once you change any of the settings above, you will need to get each point of sale to close out of Sales and then go back to pick up the system reference changes.

For more information, please see the document “How To Skip Lines – compress lines for barcodes.doc” in the Downloads section of our web site.
