Package: pricing is normally reserved for items on which you want to offer a price break based on quantity. Package priced items will sell for the base price up until they reach the quantity assigned in the package price field. An example of package pricing is where the base price for one can of a soft drink is set at .79 cents but a six pack is sold for $3.99. If the operator enters a quantity of 6 and keys or scans the item, the register will ring 6 @ $3.99. If the operator keys or scans each item separately, the register will ring the first 5 soft drinks at .79 cents for a total of $3.95 and the sixth will ring at .04 cents for a package price of $3.99. NOTE: When an item that is part of a product is sold in a quantity greater than the package quantity, it reverts back to the base price until the quantity is reached again. In the example above, the 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th products would sell for .79 cents each and the 12th would ring up for .04 cents.
LQD or limited quantity discount: is used to limit the number of items that can be obtained for a certain price. A real world example could be that you want to limit the access to sale items. Setting the LQD to .79 cents for quantity 3 means that only the first 3 items purchased qualify for the special LQD price. The register will ring any extra items at the base price, unless of course there is also a package price.
In the Sale Price column, From is the date and time that a retail price change is to take effect. Placing the cursor in this field and clicking will pop up a calendar for date selection. Select the date you want to have the sale price begin on. The next column is to enter the time if the sale price is time sensitive.
To: is the date the sale price will terminate. It is used for sale periods only. After the sale is over the price will revert to the regular retail price. If you do not enter an ending date, Symphony Pro will automatically assign a date 7 days after the start date. NOTE: If you are using the Batch module DO NOT enter prices directly into the sale price column because they will be erased by the system. Symphony Pro updates the sale price column automatically from batches. If any batches exist (even 1 batch), all pricing that is entered directly into the Sale price column of the PLU maintenance will be erased the next time the system checks to see if all batches are up to date in the price fields.
Points: is used for customer loyalty building. You can enter a value of points that will be issued when this product is sold. The points system can be defined to issue in either amount or %. Related programming in the register programming utility (PosSetup, System, PLU.) The default points setting is to issue the points as an amount, not by percentage. NOTE: Points can also be issued off the tendering amount to simplify maintenance requirements. This is set in the Button and form programming of the PosSetup module under the parameters of the actual tender function.
Disc $: is used when the price on file should be discounted by a
%: is used when the price on file should be discounted by a
S.R.P.: The suggested retail price can be used to show the customer the price that the item normally sells for. The POS can be programmed to calculate and display (or print on the receipt) the difference, showing a "You Save" type message, based on the Suggested Retail Price field.
