Quantum VS Help: Sales Desk

Previous  Next  

Negotiation Tab

The Line Pricing window (Negotiation View) enables users with the required permissions to view and manipulate a range of price and cost variables for a Product line when a sales document (Sales Order, Quote, Sales Enquiry, Sales Contract, Credit Note) is open. See Line Pricing (Negotiation View).

 

The Negotiation tab displays by default. This displays the current prices, margins and discounts applicable to the Product and Customer.

 

You may modify these amounts at your own discretion when dealing with a customer. Either overtype a value in the appropriate field, or click the arrow keys to select the required value. You might do this as a result of negotiation with a customer, perhaps offering them a discount or reducing your margin as an incentive for them to buy. When adjusting one variable, other variables are automatically adjusted.

 

For example:
