SO-Q-J  Generate Base Prices

Purpose of Program

Use this program to generate base prices based on a percentage over cost.  If existing price code prices and contract prices are tied to the base price by percentage amounts, they can also be optionally updated by the new base prices.

Once base prices are generated, they can be edited through SO-Q-A  Enter Base Prices.

General Program Operation

First enter the cost basis upon which the markup percentage will be applied.  You have a choice of Average Cost, Last Cost, or Standard Cost.

Enter the percentage mark up that will be applied to the cost.  10% would be entered as 10.0000.

You are then asked four questions.

First, do you want to generate prices for items with no cost or negative cost or that already have a base price of zero?

Second, how many decimals precision do want the new prices to be calculated (1-4)?

Third, if you have price codes that are based on discount percentages from base price, do you want these price code prices automatically updated when the base price gets changed?

Fourth, if you have contract prices that are based on discount percentages from base price, do you want these contract prices automatically updated when the base price gets changed?

You can then limit the items included in the price change by entering from/thru ranges of item numbers, categories, and item classes.

You are then asked if you want to proceed with the price generation.  Click Yes or press <Enter> and processing will begin.  When finished you are returned to the Inventory menu.
