Go to Processing -> Stock Costing -> Automatic Price Updates

This program is used to automatically update the selling prices on selected stock items.

Selected Products:
Select the products to update the selling price of. The default is 'All Products'. See Selecting Accounts for Reports & Processing.

Update Price:
Choose the price that is being updated. This can be any of the standard sell prices or the supplier list price.

Original Price:
Choose the price that is to be used for calculations. This price is then multiplied by the 'Cost Factor' below to arrive at the new price.
A new option called 'Supplier List / Working Exchange Rate' has been added. This option will take the supplier list price and divide it by the working exchange rate (see Utilities - Currencies). The currency used is the pricing currency from the main supplier for the product.

Cost Factor:
Enter a factor to multiply the original price by to arrive at the new price (update price).

New Price:
If you don't enter a cost factor you can enter a fixed price, this is then copied to the update price.

Round to 5 cents?:
Enter 'Yes' to round the prices to the nearest 5 cents (swedish rounding).

Update Live Prices?:
Enter 'Yes' to update the prices. By default only a report is produced.
The computer will ask you to confirm your actions before any prices are updated.

Output Device:
Select the output device for the report. See Creating Reports - General Comments for details.

Examples

If you want to update your main price (price level 1, eg: Trade Price) by say 10% you would enter "1" in the update price and "1" in the original price. Then enter 1.1 in the cost factor.

If you want to set your retail price (eg: price level 2) to 30% above the trade price (eg: price level 1) you would set the update price to "2" (the price being updated) then set the original price to "1". Enter 1.3 in the cost factor.
