Pricing Management Features
Enhanced Item Pricing
Ensure bottom line profitability with flexible, user-defined, formula-based pricing calculations, such as basing a price level on a percentage above average cost, and store them for use across all your inventory items. There are 10 Item Price Levels, and you have the ability to custom name each level, which show on reports and data entry windows. The Item Price Levels can be stored at the customer and item level.
Quantity Pricing
Easily specify up to 5 quantity ranges (per item) that will automatically trigger a percentage or dollar amount discount. Applying quantity discounts on the most commonly used forms is a seamless, behind-the-scenes process. When combined with Price Levels, you can create a matrix of up to 50 prices per item!
Item Price Changer
Because your business' costs rise and fall constantly, we make it easy to update pricing. You can update prices by an amount or percent for all or part of your inventory. With a simple point and click, you can globally increase or decrease prices, rounding up or down to a specific cent or dollar.
