The Pricing Matrix feature provides the ability to create sales promotions based on many factors, including:

1. Customer Account
   Apply this discount to a specific customer only.
2. Supplier
   Apply this discount to a supplier type.
3. Item Codes
   Apply this discount to a specific item code, or pattern of item codes e.g. RAM-KINGSTON-* to match all Kingston RAM modules.
4. Item Categories
   Apply this discount if the item is in a specific category, or a few categories.
5. Item Quantity
   Apply this discount if the customer purchases a certain number of units.
6. Date Range
   Apply this discount only between two dates.
7. Branch
   Apply this discount only at certain branches.

The discount amount can then be calculated based on:

• Percentage (based on list price)
• Absolute Amount (reduce by $N)
• Discounted Price (sell at exactly $N)
