Adding minimum quantity to Maintain Vendor Items

In Maintain Items on the Cost Break tab, I had a particular quantity to input for a specific amount for a vendor item. How do I enter a minimum quantity?

When I input the minimum quantity, I get an error message which says "Discount amount cannot be greater than Replacement Cost".

Price Break Quantity Example:

FROM RANGE                           TO RANGE                          AMOUNT

0                                             18,299                              $999.999

18300                                    50,000                             $0.37

    I am guessing your discount method for the vendor item is Discount Amount, and it costs you less than 999.999 to replace the item. The system is trying to prevent you from driving the cost negative. If you get a $3 discount on an item that costs $1, you are being paid to buy the product.

    I don't believe the system has a feature to set a minimum quantity. Given that, to make the system work the best wouldn't you set the discount amount to zero? I noticed you can even set it to less than zero, but am leery of this without testing.

    Yes, the discount method is "Discount Amount". Thank you very much for your input.
