Trade agreements
Pricing
A Trade Agreement stores both Vendor and Retail prices in the same record. A Trade Agreement is set against a product. Retail pricing uses Price Groups to associate (groups of) stores with the pricing structure defined in the Trade Agreement.
- From the Fred NXT Head Office Dashboard, click Merchandising > Retail Products by Category.
- Select the Purchase tab, then click View Trade Agreements.
The Trade Agreements table displays the Vendor prices for each product.
The Vendor pricing can be set for a combination of:
- Unit of Measure
- Date to Date
- Price Breaks
- Discount%
In specific circumstances, Vendor prices can be configured to be store-specific. This may be useful when adjusting Vendor prices to account for the differences in volume of sales at different stores. For example, a store selling a lot of a particular product may receive it at a lower Vendor price.
- Click Close to close the Trade Agreement window and save your changes.

The Trade Agreements table displays the Retail prices for each product.
The Retail pricing can be set for a combination of:

- In the Account Selection column, set the Price Group for this product.
The Retail price configured in the selected Price Group is applied to the product.
- Set From and To Qty to create the Price Break, then specify the Amount in transaction currency.
Use the price of an individual box as the basis to set the Amount in transaction currency.
For example: If you want to sell 100 tablets (5 boxes) for $22.95, set up the 5 to 6 range as:
(22.95 / 5) = 4.59
From To Amount in transaction currency 1 2 14.95 2 3 8.95 3 4 6.65 4 5 5.48 5 6 4.59 6 999 4.50
To create an open-ended range, set To to 999.
For example, if you sell 10 boxes, the set price is calculated as 10 * 4.50 = $45.00
