Maintain Sale Parameters

From the menu bar, click Maintenance > Inventory Maintenance > Maintain Sale Parameters or press Alt N I P on the keyboard.

POS refers to the sale parameters to determine if the item(s) being sold are to be discounted. The sale criteria should first be set up in "Establish Sale Parameters" on the Inventory module menu. In "Establish Sale Parameters" you will select the inventory and/or non-inventory items that are on sale and selection may be made by inventory type, category and sub category, by manufacturer or publisher and by store location. You specify the dates of the sale as well as the discount to apply and the pricing level to use when discounting.

Once the sale criteria is established, you may view in "Maintain Sale Parameters" the items that matched the criteria selected. You may remove items to be excluded from the sale and you may add additional items that did not meet the criteria requirements. In "Maintain Sale Parameters" you may also modify the discount percent on those special items that receive a greater discount or lower the discount on others.

The columns in the "Maintain Sale Parameters" table are as follows:

• Beginning date and time of the sale
• Ending date and time of the sale
• The sku number if the item on sale is a serialized or accessory inventory item or the catalog number if the item on sale is a title.  The Sku column will be blank for non-inventory sale items.
• The sale item's description
• The item's location
• The discount percent in decimal format.  When setting up the sales parameters if you chose to use a pricing level as the sales price, or manually enter a price, the discount percent will be 0.
• The pricing level to calculate the discount on. The various pricing levels are R for Retail Price, O for Our Price, A for Pricing Level A, B for Pricing Level B, C for Pricing Level C and X for customer calculated price.  When setting up the sales parameters if you chose to use a pricing level as the sales price, or manually enter a price, this pricing level will be blank.
• The pricing level to use as the sales price.  The various pricing levels are R for Retail Price, O for Our Price, A for Pricing Level A, B for Pricing Level B or C for Pricing Level C.  This pricing level will be blank unless you chose to use a pricing level as the sales price in "Establish Sales Parameters".
• The price to use as the sales price.  The Price column will show 0.00 unless you chose to manually enter a sales price in "Establish Sale Parameters".
• The account number of the customer to receive the discount.  The Account column will show 0 unless you entered a specific account number to apply the discount to.  This means only the selected customer account should receive the discount.
