Modifier Pricing Tiers let you apply quantity-based discounts to Modifiers automatically during Order entry. These built-in quantity discounts are configured in the Management Module and are always included in the Product or Line Item total, so your customers never see the Modifier discounts separately.

Market-Based Pricing
Navigate to the Management Module / Modifiers / Modifiers and select the appropriate Modifier.
1. Select the Pricing Tier tab.
2. Enter the Maximum Discount you are wiling to offer.
3. Select the way the system will determine the Quantity Breaks.
4. Enter the Quantities at which each Price Break will occur.
5. Click Save & Recalculate.
Note: The system will auto-populate the Discount Chart table and apply the Maximum Discount to the highest quantity break and highest customer tier.
6. For help calculating percentages, click Percentage Conversion Tool.
Note: This allows you to enter in a dollar amount for the discount that will automatically convert to a percentage. See example below.
7. Check if you would like to use Interpolation.
Note: Interpolation allows the system to calculate a smooth discount progression between quantity breaks instead of jumping from one set discount to another. The system will calculate discounts between the defined breaks.
8. Custom Discounts can be entered in any field, then click Save Custom Discounts.
Note: Clicking Save & Recalculate after entering custom discounts will override any custom discount percentages you entered and regenerate the chart based on the Maximum Discount settings.
Example:
Note: If you don’t want this modifier to include a built-in discount, set the Maximum Discount to 0% and click Save & Recalculate. The modifier will then always be charged at full price regardless of quantity, although users with the appropriate permissions can still override the price in Order Entry if needed.
Cost-Plus Pricing
Navigate to the Management Module / Modifiers / Modifiers and select the appropriate Modifier.
1. Select the Pricing Tiers tab.

Note: This defines the lowest acceptable profit margin for this Part. This value applies to the highest Quantity Break and Customer Tier, ensuring you never sell below your minimum acceptable profit threshold.
3. Enter Desired Margins.
Note: This represents the maximum achievable profit margin for this Part. This value applies to the lowest Quantity Break and Customer Tier, reflecting your ideal pricing target when quantities are smaller or customers are at the base tier.
4. Select how your Quantity Breaks will be determined.
5. Enter your desired Quantity Breaks into the cells.
6. Click Save & Recalculate to auto populate the Margin Chart Table.
Note: This will override any Custom Margins entered.
7. Check if you would like to use Interpolation.
Note: Interpolation allows the system to calculate a smooth discount progression between quantity breaks instead of jumping from one set discount to another. The system will calculate discounts between the defined breaks.
8. Custom Margins allow you to customize individual Margins by highlighting the number in the cell and entering the percentage you want. Click Save Custom Margins when finished.
