In this tutorial, we will explore the **“Do Not Allow Rate Below”** feature in **Logic ERP**, which is designed to maintain pricing consistency and protect profit margins by restricting billing rates below defined thresholds.

***

* Access to the **Sales Voucher Configuration**.
* Select the R**elevant Billing Series**.
* Locate and Enable the Feature labeled: **“Do Not Allow Rate Below”**

### **Demonstrating the Feature:**

* **Scenario Example:**
  * Let’s say the **MRP of an item is ₹1,299**.
  * During billing, if you try to enter a rate **lower than ₹1,299**, such as ₹1,100:
    * The system will **block the transaction**.
    * An **error message** will appear:

      > *"Billing rate cannot be below MRP."*

* **Behavior with Other Rate Types:**
  * The same validation applies if you select other rate types such as:
    * **Purchase Rate** – Prevents billing below the purchase cost.
    * **Basic Rate** or **Sale Rate** – Enforces billing above internal pricing standards.
    * **SP Rate** – Adheres to custom special price rules.

***

### **Benefits:**

* Prevents **unintentional losses** due to under-billing.
* Ensures **pricing consistency** across all transactions.
* Maintains **profit margins** and protects business interests.
