velocity pricing

The pricing philosophy in which you price products where there is customer awareness of price more competitively than you price products where there is not. Customer awareness of price is determined by the rank of an item. The most commonly accepted velocity pricing rank is the demand of an item.

vendor

The supplier of a product of service. Any person or organization authorized to sell stock or services. Vendor records are stored in the vendor file.

 

vendor target

The amount of product the vendor identifies as the minimum amount you can buy. For example, Jones Plumbing may require you to buy $500 worth of product before shipping without freight fees. In contrast, Smith's Supply may require you to buy enough product to fill a truck based on load factor before providing a discount.

The system provides several options to meet the vendor target. Vendor targets can be in dollars, pounds (weight), pieces, or load factor.
