The special price customer number field is used to link the customer to another customer's special price file.

 

The ship-to customer in a Bill-to/Ship-to relationship is automatically linked to the bill-to customer's special price file, so there is no need to assign the special price customer number for these circumstances.

 

This field would only be used to link to a non-related customer's special price file.

 

When entrée looks for a special price entry, the ship to customer is searched first, followed by the bill to customer (if applicable), and finally the special price customer number. As soon as a valid special price is found entrée aborts the scan for the special price. What this means is, if entrée finds a special price in the customer's special price file or in the bill-to customer's special price file (where applicable), the special price customer number's file would not be scanned.

 

The special price file of the customer entered in this field is also scanned when searching for authorized items and divisional items.
