The GP% Control Parameters window lets authorized users adjust the minimum gross profit percentage or maximum discount from standard price, for both stock items and direct shipments.
This feature allows managers to control how much discretion salespeople have in making price adjustments. Depending on your authorization level, making price adjustments greater than those set here requires a manager to enter a confirming password. Authorized users receive a warning before they finalize price adjustments greater than those set here.
You can assign a minimum required GP% at the following levels: Order, Product, Price line, and User.
Note: The
When the user makes a change that affects the GP% for an item in sales order entry, the system looks for a specified minimum, in the sequence listed above. The system stops checking once it finds one setting for minimum GP%, and does not check subsequent settings. If the new GP% falls below the first detected minimum, the system displays a warning that identifies the parameter (such as product, price line, or user) affected by the change and what the minimum GP% for that level is. To override the warning, the user must be assigned the SOE.MIN.GP authorization key.
You can set default price control parameters in Product Maintenance, Price Line Maintenance, and User Maintenance. Or, you can override the defaults within Sales Order Entry, as described here.
To change price control parameters:
From the Edit Order menu, select Pricing to display the Order Pricing Override window.
From the Edit menu, select GP%Controls to display the GP% Control Parameters window.
In the Minimum GP% Required fields, specify the minimum gross profit percentage for Stock items and Direct shipped items.

Click OK to apply your settings and exit the window.
