Manually change purchase price and/or discount

Advanced Pricing  •  Article  •  11/4/2025  • 

Not in all cases, the prices that are suggested by the Advanced Pricing logic are correct in the eyes of the person registering the transaction. Setup can be missing, or a vendor may want to deviate from general pricing to satisfy a company in the trading process for example. Therefore, it is possible to overrule/change the prices that are suggested by the system.

When manually changing the price or discount, recalculation factors are altered, and the applied purchase price line/discount line is identified as Manually Specified. The price and discount will be frozen, i.e.: they will not automatically change anymore when, for example the order quantity or UoM in the purchase price line is adjusted.

Manually change the purchase price

  1. On the Applied Purchase Price and Discount page, on the action bar, click Manual Price.
  2. On the Change Applied Direct Unit Cost page, enter Direct Unit Cost, e.g., 11.00.
  3. Click the lookup button in the Unit of Measure Code field. If required, change the unit of measure in which the manual price is registered on the Item Units of Measure page.
  4. Select and click the required Code.
  5. Select another unit of measure, if necessary, and click OK.
    Optionally, these additional details can be added on the Change Applied Unit Price page.
  6. Enter Currency Code.
  7. Turn on the Allow Invoice Disc. toggle.
  8. Turn on the Allow Line Disc. toggle.
  9. Turn on the Price Includes VAT toggle.
  10. In the Price Change Reason Code field, enter the reason for the price change. The default value is derived from the Price Change Reason Code field value on the Purchase Price List page.
  11. Trun on the Freeze Price & Discount toggle to control whether the resulting new price and discount will be marked as frozen, meaning that it will not recalculate if the sales line quantity is subsequently changed. The starting value and editability of this toggle is controlled by the Freeze Purchase Price on Manual Change field value on the Advanced Pricing Setup page.
  12. Select OK.

Turn on the Freeze Price & Discount toggle to control whether the resulting new price and discount will be marked as frozen, meaning that it will not recalculate if the sales line quantity is subsequently changed.
