When configuring a supplier in SAM, you can set up individual discounts for each supplier, including quantity-based discounts. For example, you can establish a quantity break discount where, if you purchase 10 items from the supplier, you receive a 2% discount, and for 50 items, a 3% discount, and so on.

Additionally, you can configure discounts based on product categories. To do this, simply use the category dropdown to select the relevant category, then set up the quantity break discounts and save the settings. This enables flexible and tailored discounting for each supplier.

If the category discount is set to “None,” the price break discount will only apply when the product is used in a purchase order. However, if a category is selected, the quantity break discount will be included in the price list against the selected category.

Once the category break discounts for a product have been set up, the product will be included in your purchase price list for that supplier and you’ll receive both category discounts and quantity break discounts accordingly.

This functionality allows for better cost control and supplier relationship management, ensuring that your company can take advantage of volume discounts and cost-saving opportunities.
