  1. Select the Work with pricing rules menu item.
  2. On the main panel, click Add.
  3. You access the detail panel. You can enter the following information:
    Base account
    The main account part is mandatory. Enter the account (combination) that will trigger a pricing transaction whenever used in the transaction entry program together with a quantity and a zero amount.
    Note: For all account parts, except the main account part, underscores can be entered instead of account numbers. Underscores mean that all accounts in this account part are valid for the pricing transaction.
    Contra account
    Enter the account (combination) on which the reverse transaction; zero quantity but reversed amount, should be posted. You can enter underscores instead of account numbers in all but the main account part, but an underscore account part in the contra account must have an account number or underscores in the base account. All underscores in an account part in the contra account means that the same account number that is used for the base account will be used for the contra account.
    Sequence number
    Mandatory entry. You can sequence the pricing rules for a specific account combination. When you create the pricing transaction the system uses only the rule with the highest sequence number. The sequence number can be changed if you want another rule to be active.
    Voucher type
    Enter a voucher type from Work with voucher types if you want the pricing rule to only apply for transactions with a certain voucher type. The system checks if the voucher type allows pricing. If you leave the field blank, all valid postings will create automatic entries, provided the voucher types allow pricing.
    Quantity code
    If a quantity code is defined for the base account, you must enter the same quantity code for the pricing rule. If no quantity code is defined for the account you can enter a code to make the rule valid only for those transactions that have the same quantity code. If you leave this field blank, all or no quantity codes will validate the rule.
    Price
    Mandatory entry. Enter the price that should be multiplied to the transaction quantity to give the transaction amount.
    From date
    Enter the voucher date from which this pricing rule should apply.
    To date
    Enter the voucher date to which this pricing rule should apply.

    Click OK. Exit the routine.
