| Here, you select the type of change you wish to make. You can choose between the following five types: “New Price List from Costs,” “New Price List from Price List,” “Update Price List,” “Replace Price List,” and “New Issue.” The five values correspond to the titles of the five islands in the window, and all changes are made in the island corresponding to the selected type of change. You can only make one type of change at a time.
If you select “New Price List from Costs,” Maconomy creates a price list based on the cost of every item in the selected warehouse. If you are creating a purchase price list, the prices will be costs.
If you are making a sales price list, Maconomy adds a gross margin based on one of the two values in the “GM % Sales Price” and “Markup % of Cost” fields from the Item Information Card. Maconomy selects whichever value is higher than zero. BOMs can only be included if they have price control.
The recommended sales price from the Quantity Discounts window is set at zero when you create and edit sales prices from costs.
If you select “New Price List from Price List,” you create a price list based on an existing price list. All the prices in the new price list are changed according to a fixed percentage rate (negative or positive). When you change prices this way, you can keep the original price list.
If you select “Update Price List,” you apply a percentage change, negative or positive, to all prices in an existing price list. The version number of the price list is increased by one.
When you select “Replace Price List,” you transfer all the prices from one existing price list to another existing price list. You can use this method to update a price list, without withdrawing it temporarily from the system.
If you wish to update a price list this way, you first create a price list from the existing one. When the new price list is updated, you replace the old one with the new one. You then assign it the name of the old price list.
The version number of the updated price list is increased by one.
If you create a price list based on an existing price list, you avoid having to change price list references from the Sales Orders module.
If you select “New Issue,” a new issue is created as a copy of the stated price list and issue. The starting date of the new issue must be specified in the island New Issue. If the issue number is zero, the issue of the price list which is valid on the current date will be transferred.
