For example, if an item's cost is $10.00 and you want to markup from cost,
enter 10.00 in List/Base. Then enter the percentage to markup in Price
Adj 1-9:
G.M.%
Price Adj 1 33.34
Price Adj 2 25.93
Price Adj 3 16.67
etc.
If you want to markdown from a list price (retail), use negative price
adjustments.
NOTE: Because of the use of Price Adj 6-9 for quantity breaks on price basis, 10, 11, 12, and 13,
you cannot use price levels 6-9 for any customers if you are using price basis 10-13.
10= Percentage Markup/Markdown with Quantity Breaks
Use this method if you wish to mark up or down from List/Base using a
percentage (same as price basis 0) but also give quantity breaks. For
example, if a customer buys in quantities of 1-24 of a certain item, they
get price level 1. But if they buy 25-99, the price is figured on price level
2. If they buy 100-499, the price goes to price level 3. The percentages for
markup or markdown are kept in Price Adj 1-5 (same as price basis 0) and
the quantity breaks are kept in Price Adj 6-9.

11= Dollar Markup/Markdown with Quantity Breaks

breaks as described above for price basis 10.
12= Actual Prices with Quantity Breaks
Same as price basis 2 (actual prices) but also gives quantity breaks as
described above for price basis 10.
13= Gross Margin Percentage Markup/Markdown with Quantity
Breaks
Same as price basis 3 (gross margin percentage markup/ markdown) but
also gives quantity breaks as described above for price basis 10.
