Special Pricing (SP)

Centralised, Rule-Based Pricing

With SP, you define pricing rules once, and they are applied automatically during order or invoice entry. Say goodbye to manual overrides, inconsistent discounts, or forgotten specials—SP ensures that your pricing policies are honoured every time. If multiple rules apply, you can control priority using background scripting and rule sequencing.

Supports a Range of Pricing Scenarios

Accredo SP is built to handle the diverse pricing needs of modern businesses. Common strategies include:

- Contract Pricing

Set fixed prices or percentage discounts for specific customers or products to ensure deals negotiated by your sales team are always honoured—automatically.

- Time-Based Promotions

Enter weekly, monthly, or seasonal specials in advance. SP will apply correct pricing based on the invoice or order date—no toggling of settings or editing of standard prices needed.

- Buying & Loyalty Groups

Use AR customer categories to apply group-level pricing for loyalty programs or buying cooperatives—ensuring fair and automatic treatment of group members.

- Quantity Breaks

Reward bulk buying by applying volume-based pricing tiers. The appropriate price is applied dynamically based on the quantity being invoiced.

- Cost-Plus / Sell-Minus Pricing

If your pricing is cost-based or margin-sensitive (e.g., due to exchange rate fluctuations), SP lets you apply percentage mark-ups or mark-downs by product, product group, or even job.

Real-Time Integration with OE and IN

SP integrates tightly with Order Entry (OE) and Invoicing (IN) to ensure special prices are applied at the point of transaction—preventing pricing errors and removing the need for after-the-fact adjustments. Staff don’t need to remember current deals or special terms—Accredo handles it for them.

Auditability and Transparency

Every pricing rule is tracked with full audit trails, making it easy to review pricing decisions and maintain internal accountability. SP also supports expiry date management, so you can see when special prices start and stop, and renew or revise them as needed.

Protect Margins and Customer Relationships

SP ensures that customers always receive the pricing they were promised, strengthening trust and loyalty. At the same time, it helps protect your margins by automating discount control and ensuring cost-based pricing stays aligned with fluctuations in input costs.
