Bulk Volumes

You can define bulk volume ranges for items. The numbers can also include decimal places. These volumes define the quantities for the corresponding bulk prices and discounts that apply to an item. You can define discounts (either as fixed volume prices or as volume discounts) in price lists for items, see Price Lists. If both a bulk discount and a bulk price are entered, the bulk price takes precedence. The quantities defined in the Bulk Volumes info area determine the quantities of the various volumes and thus the quantities up to which the volume price or volume discount applies.

When adding new records, information is transferred from the item master (e.g. Product Group, Product). You can define various quantities used to define volume prices and discounts for each item, for example:

1st Volume = 5

The 1st volume price and discount apply for 1-5 units

2nd Volume = 10

The 2nd volume price and discount apply for 6-10 units

3rd Volume = 20

The 3rd volume price and discount apply for 11-20 units

4th Volume = 30

The 4th volume price and discount apply for 21-30 units

The quantity scale applies to all price lists created for this particular item.

To define bulk volumes:

  1. Switch to the desired item in the Item Master info area.
  2. Click on (New) on the Bulk Volumes tab.


  3. Enter the desired volumes.
  4. Save the record.
