Price Analysis and Discount
By pressing F8, from the Additional Functions Window, you can access the Price Analysis Discount Screen.
The screen allows you to:
- Apply a discount percentage to a specific line item.
- Calculate a price based on a targeted gross profit percentage.
- View the description of the price lists, restriction codes, promotions, and funds that make up a given price.
- View GP% of a line item when a price is discounted or overridden.
- Update a line item's price based on these options.
- Override the price of a line item by reducing or increasing price or by entering in a discount or new GP percentage (%).
When the Price Analysis, Discounts and Pricing By Gross Profit Screen is first displayed, the screen appears as shown above. If the user is not permitted to see cost in Order Entry, then the GP% and Cost fields are not displayed. The input fields and functions keys are described in the tables below.

Field |
Description |
|
Price |
The price is displayed here. You can override it, or you can restore the original price, after it is overridden, by pressing F2. You can alter it by manipulating the other input fields. |
|
GP% |
The GP% is displayed here. You can override it, which recalculates the price. |
|
Discount% |
The discount% is always set to zero when the screen is first displayed. This field
is completely separate from the header discount% field. You
can enter a discount%, which recalculates the price and GP%.

The following example displays the effect of a 15% discount on the figures shown in the previous screen.
The 15% discount caused the Price and the GP% fields to be recalculated. The discount is applied against the price, and then the GP% is recalculated based on the cost and the new lowered price.
The following example displays the effect of changing the GP% field to 15%.
Changing the GP% causes the program to calculate the price that would result in a 15% GP, based on the cost of 3.251 per SF.
