Definition

Number of points that the conditions granter assigns for the purchase of this material.

Procedure

Enter the number of points here that the vendor assigns when purchasing this material.

Use

If in subsequent agreement of conditions you do not work with sales figures or percentage values, but with a point system, then the quantity of conditions to be settled is calculated from the total number of points from the purchased materials.

You can use a point system to valuate the materials independently from their price.

Example:

Material Steel 1 from vendor Smith costs 100 USD per unit, Material Steel 2 costs 5 USD per unit. Smith grants a rebate of 3% of total turnover at the end of the year, if at least 100 000 points worth of material have been ordered. For material steel 1 you receive 10 points for each unit ordered, for steel 2 20 points.
In your purchase orders you can take into account, how many units of steel 1 or steel 2 you require, to reach the prerequisite 100 000 points that enable you to get a rebate.
