SO-Q-C  Global Price Change

Purpose of Program

Use this program to globally change a range of prices rather than having to change each price individually.  The program will change base prices and will optionally change price code prices and contract prices if they are tied to the base price by percentage amounts.

General Program Operation

Because this program can affect many products at once, be sure to back up your files before running this program.

First enter an X in either the Increase Prices or Decrease Prices field to indicate the direction of the price change up or down.

Next, choose the type of price change by entering an X opposite either the Percentage Change field or the Flat Dollar Amount Change field.

Enter the Amount of price change.  If you are entering a percentage, 10% is entered as 10.0000.

You are now asked three questions.

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

Second, 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?

Third, 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 change.  Click Yes or press <Enter> and processing will begin.
