Machine shop owners using AMFG can now generate quotes that include multiple tiered pricing options. This allows your contacts to easily compare costs across different production volumes and choose the quantity that best fits their budget and project needs.
Step 1: Defining Main and Multiple Quantities
When estimating a part in the Management Console, you will find the primary quantity in the Production Parameters form. This remains the "Main Quantity" used for initial costings.
To add tiered options, navigate to the new Multiple Quantity section below Production Parameters:
Adding Tiers: Click the Add Quantity button to create up to 15 additional quantity variants.
Calculating Costs: For each line, enter the quantity and click Calculate. The system will use your worker scripts to determine the Unit Price and Total Price.
Manual Overrides: You can manually update the quantity, unit price, or total price at any time. If you need to revert to the script-calculated values, simply use the "Reverse" option.
Setting the Main Quantity: You can promote any line from the Multiple Quantity section to be the Main Quantity for the entire part.
Step 2: Quotation Summary and Calculations
When you create the quote, the system displays all defined quantities. The Main Quantity line for each part is highlighted in blue for easy identification.
The final Quote Total, Delivery fees, and VAT are calculated based on the Main Quantity selected for each part.
Step 3: Client Selection and Checkout
Once the quote is sent, the customer has the flexibility to choose their preferred tier:
Management Console: A staff member can perform a partial checkout by selecting one specific quantity per part on behalf of the client.
Portal: The contact can view all tiered options in the Portal, select the desired quantity for each part, and place the order directly.
