About Contracts
After you have created your items, you can place special pricing on an item or group of items through contracts. You can set up a contract for a specific customer or you can set up special pricing for all customers.
You can specify special prices, or a discount, for a customer through a contract. Each customer can be assigned up to four contracts. You can also set up Sale contracts that are available to all customers. These contracts are sometimes called sales flyers, and they include flyers that you load from wholesalers and those that you create yourself.
With Advanced Contracts, customer contract capabilities have been expanded. You can assign a customer or a customer’s departmental account as many contracts as needed. You can also assign groups of customers to a contract number. (This feature utilizes the Group box in the Customer Master tab.) Also, this feature only works with fixed and flexible contracts, not specialty contracts. For more information, see Setting Up Advanced Contracts.
Note: This feature is not included in all software packages and may require authorization. For more information, contact ECi sales.
There are six types of contracts. Sale contracts are available to all customers. To make the other five types available, they must be assigned to the customer.
You can now differentiate between items on a contract and items on a special price list. For more information, see Matrix Pricing Plan.
For detailed information about contracts, see Contract Basic Procedures.
