Program CMUP, Enterprise Special Price Maintenance, is used to establish and maintain manufacturing enterprise special prices for automatic special pricing during sales order entry. Enterprise special prices entered with this program can also be maintained in program CMPC, Price Matrix Maintenance.
In order for an enterprise special price to be used, a price group for the enterprise must be created in program CMPM, Customer Price Group Maintenance, in the form of [SP]UUU where the UUU is the manufacturing enterprise code. For example, [SP]200.
The concept behind the enterprise special price is that an inventory item or group of items can be assigned a special price that will be offered to all customers during sales order entry at all stores in the manufacturing enterprise if the order quantity falls between the specified minimum and maximum quantities. The special prices can be offered for specified periods and can include an additional discount. If a customer buys a quantity that falls within the quantity range for that item, the specified price and discount will be displayed automatically during sales order entry, where it can be accepted or changed.
Item price groups are established with program ICSM, Inventory Sales Data Maintenance. These groups must already exist before they can be used for an enterprise special price.
The list price is used in conjunction with the discount percent for automatic pricing during sales order entry. The three separate fields indicate the period to which the prices apply. Current prices apply now, last prices are the previous prices, and next prices apply when you make them current. Next prices are made current with the second page of the program.
The margin percent is used in conjunction with the discount percent for automatic pricing during sales order entry. Margin percentages must be less than 100.
The discount percent is used in conjunction with the list price for automatic pricing during order entry. The three separate fields indicate the period to which the discounts apply. Current discounts apply now, last discounts are the previous discounts, and next discounts will apply when you make them current. Next discounts are made current with the second page of this program.
It is not recommended that all three pricing methods (list price, margin percentage, and discount) be used on the same item for the same customer.
To display existing special prices, press [Execute Query] upon entering the program.

The revision level is used by the program to determine which items will be affected. All items with the same revision level will be affected at the same time. Items that have a different revision level than the one entered on page two will not have the current price replaced with the next price.
