Price Batch Master
The selling prices for one or multiple items can be changed in a batch. The
batch must be executed for the prices to take effect. Executed batches are
stored as inactive for future reference. You may add items manually to the
batch, or you may select the items from a department, sub-department, item
group, location, purchase order or vendor invoice. You can calculate the new
selling price of all items in the table by clicking on the ``Calculate''
button. The new price can be calculated using markup, margin, a percentage
increase or the items target margin. After calculating the new prices you
can round them using your rounding rules. Rounding rules must be setup in
your Quasar Configuration screen for the store. Click on "Round" on the
right hand side to round your prices. Next, after calculating new
prices and rounding them you may execute the batch to put the new prices in
effect or you may choose to file the batch and execute it at a later
date. Price labels may also be generated from the price batch.

Calculate

Calculates the new selling prices. You may calculate the new selling
prices by selecting one of the following:
Use Markup?
Calculates the selling price by marking the price
up from cost by the entered amount. For example, marking up an item
that costs $1.00 by a 50% markup will set the new selling price to
$1.50.
Use Margin?
Calculates the selling price so that the desired
margin of profit is achieved. For example, to achieve a 50% margin
of profit on an item that costs $1.00 the selling price will be set
to $2.00.
% Change
Calculates the selling price based on a percentage
change from the current price. Entering a positive percentage change
will increase the price by that percentage. Entering a negative
percentage change will decrease the selling price by that percentage.
