Item (PLU) Maintenance: Cost Tab

69

Each PLU can be assigned a cost for each vendor from whom it can be purchased. There is no real limit as to how many vendors and costs an item can have, but items must have a "Default" vendor. To assign vendors and costs to items, select the Cost tab from the PLU maintenance option. The F7 function key can be used as a shortcut to access the Cost table immediately. The information in the cost table, such as Case / Cost will define the way this item behaves in the Entry module, when dealing with orders, receiving and adjusting inventory.

Note:The cost information is also used to keep track of the actual (or real) cost of the item when it sells at the POS. This means that any changes made to item costs MUST be "deployed" to the front end to keep accurate cost information for items.

This example shows the Item table's "Cost" tab.

Cost Target: The target applies to both the Regular cost and Cost break sections below. In most situations, the default "PAL" target does not need to be modified, since the item has only one cost per vendor. However, in multi-store situations costs may vary from store to store, even from the same vendor, often because of regional differences. The Cost target determines which store or cost group the cost applies to. For items that have more than one cost from the same vendor, select the correct cost target to modify.

The Cost tab is divided into two (2) sections, Regular cost and Cost break. The Regular cost section
