New Parameter to Enforce a Minimum Mark-up on all Lines of an Order.
There is a parameter in the Customer Defaults where you can specify a minimum mark-up percentage to enforce for all order lines for that customer. If this parameter is set, and any line item has a sell price that includes a mark-up percentage below the minimum, DB Distributor will automatically change the sell price accordingly. The operator will be prompted that changes to one or more lines have been made.
The minimum mark- up will apply to ALL lines, regardless of the line type. On lines where a purchase order has been created, it uses the cost entered by the operator. It will also apply to releases of distributor owned or stock inventory, based upon the Inventory or "Lot" cost, as well as to special charge lines.
Care should be taken when using this feature in combination with Automatic Requisition Charges so that you are achieving the desired results. If you check the box to treat the Automatic Requisition Charge as an Accounting Cost, the line will be modified to alter the sell price to include the mark up even though the original sell price might have actually been zero. Of course any line item with a sell price will print on the customer invoice. If your goal is to add a cost solely for the purpose of calculating commission, be sure to leave the Accounting Cost box unchecked. Then no sell price will be added.
One requirement for this feature to function properly is that the selling and costing unit of measure must be the same. Also, please note that even though this parameter may be currently visible on your GUI Customer Defaults panel , it has only recently been fully implemented. You will need a new release to take advantage of this feature.
