Setting Price % over cost
« on: June 29, 2011, 09:06:00 AM »
I just wanted to get your thoughts on my method to set pricing. I see your system is a multi tiered system where discounts are set based on retail. (Retail, wholesale, Employee, price 4,5,6, cost..

I have traditionally set the bulk of my prices 8% over cost and 15% over cost on our commissioned items. Where as your system doesn't allow that calculation in the set-up section, could I import a column of these 8 and 15% above cost and land it into the "Price 5" and "Price 6" columns? or is there a better way?

You can use the export/import to update prices.  It's easy if you are used to using something like Excel.  With Excel you can use a calculation to set any of the prices.

I understand that but which price column could I use which won't interfere with any of the calculations? I just wanted to make sure it would work in both the wholesale and customer price bracket 5.

Sorry, I have not seen that. In the product control area?

Under the prices fields in the Product Edit window.
