Vision offers several options for determining the cost basis used in calculating an individual customer's price for stock and non-stock products if the customer is set up for cost plus pricing:
Average cost: The average cost can be used to determine the customer's price. The average cost of a product is displayed on the Costs/Prices screen on the Product Management tab.
Highest vendor cost: The system uses the highest purchase order cost available for the product — regardless of vendor — to determine the customer's price.
Primary vendor cost: The system uses the purchase order cost from the primary vendor of the product to determine the customer's price. The primary vendor of a product is selected on the Vendors screen of the Product Management tab.
Selected vendor: The system uses the purchase order cost from a selected vendor to determine the customer's price.
The Pricing screen on the Customer Maintenance tab is where you set up costing information at the customer level.
Select the customer on the Search screen of the Customer Maintenance tab if you have not already done so. (For instructions on how to do this, please refer to Select a customer.)
Click the Pricing button. The Pricing screen appears.
In the Costing Methods area, specify the appropriate methods in both the Stock and Non Stock rows:
In the drop-down list in the Method column, select the appropriate option. Valid options are:
Average
Highest Vendor Cost
Primary Vendor Cost
Vendor Entered
If you select the last option — Vendor Entered — also select the appropriate vendor from the drop-down list in the Vendor column.
Click the Accept button.
