Best pricing ensures that your customers are charged the best price to which they are entitled. The system checks all the prices available to a customer (such as retail, promotion [excluding Dynamic Promotions], and quantity break). The system then uses the best price for the customer.
The system follows this path when determining the best price at POS.

Then |
You manually override the price by clicking Disc (Control-D) or Promo (Control-P), or by typing the price in the Price field |
The system uses the price you enter and does not check or compare that price to any other prices. |
You do not manually override the price, the system checks if the customer is part of a category pricing plan (in the Category Pricing Plans window) |
If the customer is part of a category pricing plan and the item is part of the plan and the Best Price field is Y (in the Category Pricing Plans window), then the system uses the category price. |
The customer is not part of a category pricing plan, the system checks for an open quote for the customer |
If there is an open quote, and the item is on the open quote, the system uses the open quote price. |
The customer does not have an open quote, the system looks at the Price Indicator field on the POS Header Screen |
If it is D, G, or M (discount off retail, gross margin, or markup from cost), the system uses the price based on that indicator. |
The pricing indicator is not D, G, or M |
The system looks at the following and uses the lowest price.
