Overview
It is possible to set up prices to have different price bands for the same product when they come in over the Weighbridge.
Setting
In order to set up price banding you must first enable the below setting:
Hover on Administration
Click on Settings
Click on Finance
Click on Prices at the top of the screen
Enable the setting labelled "Enable Price Banding"
Click Save
Price Setup
Enabling the above setting will open a new "Price Bands" section at the bottom of the update prices screen.
To set the and you just need to create a price as normal in the Lookups screen, the below image of an example price for the product "MIXED-GEN" coming into a Waste-In outlet.
The lower section of the screen controls the price banding.
The most common usage will be the "Fixed Job" option - this means that the banding and price per tonne will be selected using the net weight of the incoming Weighbridge job.
The example is set up so that a net weight of 0 to 2 tonnes will result in a unit price of £50.00 per tonne, while a net weight of between 2.001 and 4 tonnes will result in a unit price of £60.00 per tonne.
You can add as many bands as you like, but they cannot have a blank value. This is why the top band on the example has a higher weight of 100,000 tonnes - a figure that will never be reached and therefore serves as the maximum for the band.
