Volume pricing is common in manufacturing, but it can be hard to present cleanly on a quote. If your customer is deciding between ordering 100 units and 1,000 units, the quote needs to show the price difference and any lead time changes without creating multiple separate quotes.

Cetec ERP lets you add quantity breaks directly on a quote line. That way, your customer can compare purchasing levels in one document, and your team can maintain one quote record while negotiating pricing.

When Quantity Breaks Belong on the Quote

Use quantity breaks when you are offering different unit prices at different order quantities, and you want the customer to see those options side by side. This is especially useful when your pricing changes based on setup time, run efficiency, or material buy sizes.

How to Add Quantity Breaks on a Quote Line

Once your quote is created, you can add quantity breaks from the quote line edit screen.

• Open the quote and click the edit icon on the line you want to adjust.
• Scroll to the quantity fields and click “Add” to create a new break.
• Enter the new quantity and resale value for that break, then adjust lead time to match the break level.
• Click “OK” to save the line and apply the quantity breaks.

Send the Quote to the Customer

After you finish the quote, you can download a PDF or email it to your customer from Cetec ERP. With quantity breaks included, the customer can make a purchasing decision based on clear pricing at each level.

Key Takeaways

• Add breaks by editing the quote line, using “Add” in the quantity section, and saving the line.

• Send one PDF or email showing all pricing levels for clearer customer decisions.

Conclusion

Quantity breaks are a simple way to keep your quoting process accurate while giving customers clear bulk pricing options. When the break levels are maintained on the quote line in Cetec ERP, your team can manage one quote record and your customer can quickly compare order quantities and pricing.
