Price

Click this button to set a list price change to be applied to the selected rows. The following window appears:

Set Price

Work through the Set Price window as follows:

Add Amount — If you wish to add or reduce the unit list price of the selected items by a money value, select the option button next to this selection and type the desired amount in two-place decimal format in the box provided. For example, 0.10 would add ten cents to the unit list price of the selected items and -0.10 would subtract ten cents.

Set Amount — If you wish to set a specific dollar amount as the list price for the selected items, that is, overwrite the current amount, select this option button. You must type the money value figure in the box. You can set this value to a negative amount.

Add Percentage —If you wish to adjust the list price by a percentage, select this option button and type the adjustment percentage in the provided box. For example, if you type in 50, a $1.50 item will have a new price of $2.25 [1.50 + (1.50 x .50) = 2.25]. Do not use the percent sign (%). You can enter a negative amount (for example, -10), if desired.

Last Digit 5 ? — Select this check box to round the last digit for new list prices to a 5. If this box alone is selected, CPB always rounds up to the next 5 ($4.90 becomes $4.95, $4.96 becomes $5.05, etc.).

Last Digit 9 ? — Select this check box to round the last digit for new list prices to a 9. If this box alone is selected, CPB always rounds up to the next 9 ($4.91 becomes $4.99, $5.44 becomes $5.49, etc.)—with one exception: the system will round down to 9 if the last digit is a 0 (zero), for example, $5.10 to $5.09.

Last Digit 5 ?/Last Digit 9 ? — If both check boxes are selected, CPB will round up to 5 or 9, depending on the next value upward (1–4 would be rounded to 5; 6–8 would be rounded to 9; the system will round down to 9 if the last digit is 0).

Pricing Event Label — If you wish to create a future pricing event for the items you have selected for price adjustment, you must first name it with a Pricing Event Label which allows it to be easily identified throughout CPB, specifically as a displayed event in the Pricing Event Calendar (see “Pricing Event Calendar”).

e.	In the Effective Date box, record the date the Pricing Event goes into effect by typing the date in yyyy-mm-dd format or by using the calendar display button (see “Calendar Display”). You cannot schedule today’s date; you must schedule at least one day forward in the future.

f.	Click Preview to review your price changes or click OK to accept them.

g.	Review the event as desired on the Pricing Event calendar, where you can edit the timing of events that have not yet occurred (see “Pricing Event Calendar”).

h.	When you are sure that the event is set as you desire, wait until the effective date and then run Distribute to Sites. The Pricing Event will now initiate. You can also set up a scheduled task in the CDB for it.

Updating an Existing Pricing Event

You can use the Set Price window to update the items included in an existing Pricing Event. To do so:

a.	Perform steps a – c in the previous section, although if you are just adding items to an existing Pricing Event there may be no need to change the price.

b.	In the Pricing Event Label combo box, select the Pricing Event you wish to edit. The following option buttons become enabled:

Add the selected items to the event — Will add the items currently selected in the Item Adjustment window to the Pricing Event.

Replace the items in the event with the selected items — Will override the items currently in the Pricing Event with the items selected in the Item Adjustment window.

c.	Complete the process by following steps f – h in the previous section.

— The Price preview shows the existing list vs. the list that will be applied to the items after the adjustment is complete:
