The following Processes may be used to add new 'forward' product prices/costs automatically to a range of product records. These may be used as an alternative to using Manual Pricing or Quantum VS Price Importer.
Note: Click the links for further information on running each process.
The Add Automatic Forward Prices process enables you to update price and/or cost details for a range of products in advance of a specified date. 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.
The Add Promotional Forward Prices process enables you to enter or update, in advance of a specified date, Promotional prices or discounts for selected products for a selected period.
The Add Quantity Break Forward Price process enables you to enter or update, in advance of a specified date, Quantity Break discounts for selected products.
The Add Supplier Movement Forward Price process 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. For example, for a specific product you might wish to replace the Main Supplier with the Alternative 1 Supplier, with no change to the Alternative 2 Supplier.
The Margin Adjustment process enables you to update, by a specified percentage, the price or cost of selected products in advance of a specified date. These are added to the Forward Price file and applied automatically on the specified Effective Date. There are three basic options:
The Sell option enables you to increase or decrease the product's 'sell price' on any Price Band from 1 to 12 by a specified percentage.
The Cost option enables you to increase or decrease the product's Supplier Base Costs (for the Main Supplier, Alternate 1/2 Suppliers or a selected Supplier) by a specified percentage.
The Revision option enables you to use the product's existing (a) Supplier Base Cost, (b) Standard Cost or (c) 'sell price' on a selected Price Band as a base value, and update the Standard Cost, Supplier Base Cost and/or 'sell price' on any or all remaining Price Bands by a percentage increase or decrease on the base value. For example, you might select Selling Band 1 as the 'Base Standard Band' and enter +5% against Selling Band 2. Therefore the new Selling Band 2 price for the product will be the Selling Band 1 price plus 5%.
The Semi Automatic Forward Pricing process enables you to enter a range of 'foward' selling and/or cost prices for selected products in advance of a specified date. You may choose whether to update the (a) Selling Price (i.e. the Gross Price applied by the relevant Price Band), (b) Supplier Base Cost, (c) Standard Cost, or (d) Promotional Price of the products.
IMPORTANT: Once you have run any of the above processes you must then run the Apply Forward Prices process to physically apply the 'forward' prices/costs to the product record.
