The Applied On field is auto-populated with the product, so proceed to enter in the desired figures in the Min. Quantity and Price fields.
Nota
The figure in the Min. Quantity field means the Price being set will only trigger if at least that amount of product is purchased.
If necessary, configure a Start Date and End Date for the set prices. Leaving those columns blank ensures the set price will remain valid, regardless of the date of sale.
If working in a multi-company environment, designate to which company this price rule should be applied in the Company field. Leaving that field blank ensures the price rule applies to all companies in the database.
With those configurations complete, regardless of any changes/updates in conversion, whenever those designated pricelists are applied to a customer trying to purchase this specific product, these pre-determined set prices appear.
