You can enter a percentage to increase all prices in a catalogue. This is useful for example if there is a temporary or future price increase. (This applies to all catalogues that have been downloaded. For own products see My Catalogue).
Follow these steps to apply a price increase to a selected catalogue:
- Click Suppliers List (on the main toolbar):
- Click a supplier name to select it.
- Click the Catalogues button (on the left)
- Click a catalogue name to select it.
- Click the Apply Price Increase button on the left:
This window opens:
Price Increase %
Put in the percentage to increase the price. Input a negative figure if you want a decrease.
Valid Dates
If the increase is time limited input a from and to date and the increase will only apply between those dates. When the dates are left blank the price increase applies until you remove it. (If you set a 'From' date you will need to set a 'To' date as well otherwise leave both dates blank).
When you load a catalogue that has an increase on, you will be reminded and given the option to leave the increase or remove it during loading.
Increase Type
Select Increase 'Base Price' and recalculate 'Cost' and 'Selling Price' if the price increase needs to apply immediately. This increases the catalogue base price so both cost and selling prices are increased immediately for new orders.
Select Increase 'Selling Price' Only to only increase the selling price. This leaves the base price and your cost price untouched. This is useful if you know the catalogue will be having a price increase in the future and you wish to start quoting at the new price.
Click Apply Increase to save and close.
All products within the selected catalogue will now use the increased price when added to new or existing quotations and orders. Existing quotes and sales orders prices will not be affected unless you use the Reprice option on that quote/order.
When you next return to the Standard Catalogues screen, catalogues with a price increase on will be highlighted in red.
