Quantum VS Help: File Maintenance |
The Apply Forward Prices process is used to apply product price/cost updates held in the Forward Price file to the appropriate Product records.
Note: Forward Prices may be added using Manual Pricing, the Quantum VS Price Importer tool, or one of the available price/cost update Processes (Add Automatic Forward Prices, Add Promotional Forward Prices, Add Quantity Break Forward Prices, Add Supplier Movement Forward Prices, Margin Adjustment or Semi Automatic Forward Pricing). See Updating Product Prices And Costs.
There is a 'report only' option whereby you may generate a report of prices/cost updates entered using Quantum VS Price Importer, rather than applying the updates.
To run the Apply Forward Prices process:
1. Either:
From the Home tab: under links, select Processes.
Or: From the Toolbar - Main Menu: select Tools > Show Processes.
OR: Click the appropriate module on the Mega Menu then - under processes - select the required Process.
The Processes record opens in a new tab, listing all Processes by Name and Category.
2. Use your mouse or [Tab] key to select the Apply Forward Prices process:
