Purchase Pricing (PP)

Centralised, Rule-Based Costing

With PP, you define purchase pricing rules once for each supplier, and they are applied automatically during purchase order entry. No more manual adjustments, missed discounts, or forgotten promotions—PP ensures that the prices you’ve negotiated with your suppliers are always applied correctly.
If multiple rules exist, you can control which one takes priority using background scripting and rule sequencing.

Supports a Range of Purchasing Scenarios

Accredo PP is built to handle the diverse pricing structures used by suppliers. Common strategies include:

• Contract Pricing and Discounts
  Set fixed prices or percentage discounts for specific suppliers or products to ensure your negotiated terms are always honoured—automatically.

• Quantity Breaks
  Reward bulk purchasing by applying cost tiers based on the quantities ordered. Staff can instantly see the cost benefits of ordering larger volumes.

• Buying Group Discounts
  Apply supplier-specific rules for buying group members, ensuring each supplier’s agreed pricing is correctly applied.

• Limited-Time Promotions
  Enter supplier promotions or special deals in advance. PP automatically applies the correct cost based on the purchase order date—no manual intervention required.

Real-Time Integration with PO and IN

PP integrates tightly with Purchase Orders (PO) and Inventory Control (IN), ensuring accurate supplier pricing at the point of entry.
Your staff don’t need to remember which supplier offers what deal—Accredo automatically applies the correct cost whenever a purchase order is entered.

Auditability and Transparency

Every purchase pricing rule is tracked with full audit trails, making it easy to review and verify supplier pricing decisions. Expiry dates can also be managed to help keep costs current and valid.

Improve Accuracy and Protect Margins

By automating supplier pricing, PP ensures your business always purchases at the correct cost, helping you plan and maintain healthy margins. It complements Special Pricing (SP) to give you complete control over both your buying and selling prices.
