Purpose
|
|

You have the option of (a) altering the Gross Price held on any or all Price Bands by a specified percentage, (b) updating the Regulator Discount held on any or all Price Bands, and/or (c) updating Supplier Buying Costs and/or Buying Terms.
Note: After running this process you must run the Apply Forward Prices process to physically apply the 'forward' prices/costs to the product record. |
Add Promotional Forward Prices
|
Enables you to enter or update, in advance of a specified date, Promotional prices or discounts for selected products for a selected period.
Note: After running this process you must run the Apply Forward Prices process to physically apply the 'forward' prices/costs to the product record. |
Add Quantity Break Forward Price
|
Enables you to enter or update, in advance of a specified date, Quantity Break discounts for selected products.
Note: After running this process you must run the Apply Forward Prices process to physically apply the 'forward' prices/costs to the product record. |
Add Supplier Movement Forward Price
|
Enables you to swap - for a selected product or products - the Main and Alternative 1/2 suppliers, applying the details on a specified future date.

Note: After running this process you must run the Apply Forward Prices process to physically apply the 'forward' prices/costs to the product record. |

The Apply Forward Prices process is used to apply product price/cost updates held in the Forward Price file to the appropriate Product records. 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.
Note: Forward Prices may be added using Manual Pricing, the Quantum VS Price Importer tool, or one of the available price/cost update Processes. See Updating Product Prices And Costs. |
