Using a one-time cost adjustment for short-term SPAs

Use short-term special pricing agreements (SPA) for a one-time cost adjustment. For example, you are taking an order for 5000 feet of wire, and you have 2000 in stock. You contact your vendor and negotiate a volume-based "cost" for an additional 3000 feet.

Note: Before applying the SPA, use the Personalize feature to display the One Time Cost option.
