Cost Master



The cost master file is used to link costs to items. Quasar provides multiple cost types and multiple ways to link costs to items. You may establish multiple costs for one item. In that case, Quasar reviews all the available costs for a specific vendor and assigns them the lowest cost available at the time.

Item Selection

A cost can be linked to an individual item, a group of items, a sub-department and a specific item size.

Item

Toggle on or off. Toggle on to enter a specific item to which the cost will be linked.

Item Group

Toggle on or off. Toggle on to enter an item group. All items linked to the group will be linked to the cost.

Sub-department

Toggle on or off. Toggle on to enter a specific sub-department. All items linked to the sub-department will be linked to the cost.

Size

Enter the size of the item(s) that the cost will be linked to.

Card Selection

A cost by default is linked to all vendors. This default may be changed and the cost may be linked to a specific vendor or a specific group of vendors.

Card

Toggle on or off. Toggle on to link a cost to a specific vendor.

Card Group

Toggle on or off. Toggle on to link a cost to a specific group of customers.

Store

If the cost is valid only in a specific store, enter that store. If blank the cost will be valid in all stores.

Promotion?

Toggle on or off. Toggle on if the cost is a promotional cost.

Discountable?

Toggle on or off. Toggle on if the cost may be further discounted at the point of purchase.

Start Date

Use this attribute in conjunction with the "Stop Date" to define a range of dates within which the cost will be valid. If a date is entered the cost will be valid on or after the date entered. If left blank the cost will be valid up until the stop date.

Stop Date

Use this attribute in conjunction with the "Start Date" to define a range of dates within which the cost will be valid. If a date is entered the cost will be valid before or on the date entered. If left blank the cost will be valid indefinitely

Day of Week

The day(s) of the week that a cost is valid may be defined individually. The day mask format is in this order: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Therefore if you set the day mask to be "NNNNNYY" then the cost would be valid only on Saturday and Sunday.

Minimum Qty

The cost may be valid only after a minimum qty of the item(s) have been purchased. For example the regular cost on an item is 10.00 each. But if you buy twelve of them the cost would be 9.00 each. Enter the minimum quantity of units that you must buy to receive this cost. If zero, the cost is valid for any quantity.

Qty Limit

You may limit the quantity of items that may be sold at a special cost. For example, the regular cost of an item may be $10.00 each. You can put this item on special for $6.00 and limit the quantity that a customer may purchase on a single invoice to 2.

Cost Method

Quasar has multiple costing methods.

Cost

Toggle on or off. Toggle on to enter a single cost and/or at/for costing. A single cost is simply one item for a single cost. For example if you enter ".50" then the cost of each unit of sale will be $0.50. . At/For costing is a quantity for a cost. For example, if you enter "3/1.00" the cost will be three items for $1.00. You may also enter a combination like ".50 3/1.00". In this case you would pay $0.50 each or $1.00 for combinations of three.

Percent Off

Toggle on or off. Toggle on to enter a percentage off discount. For example, if "10%" is entered here and the cost of an item is $1.00 then the cost charged will be (1.00 - 0.10) $0.90.

Dollar Off

Toggle on or off. Toggle on to enter a specific dollar discount to take off of an item. For example, if you enter "$1.00" here and the regular cost of the item is $10.00, then you will be charged (10.00 - 1.00) $9.00 for the item.
