In the fast paced world of the food service distributor, costs are constantly changing. In the entrée system there are many options that allow you to keep up to date with current costs.  The Inventory Cost/Price Update option is just one of many places on the system where you can update costs and pricing.  Here, you can do it either by item number, class, or UPC number. Note that all the other options where you are allowed to update costs and pricing (for example during the Receive by Item, or Receive by Purchase Order process) use the exact same procedures as defined here in this chapter.

 

The Cost/Price Update Utility was modified so the "PC." item will not be updated unless it is explicitly defined in the "Piece Item Number" field of the "CASE" item. If the "Piece Item Number" value is blank on a given "CASE" item the program will actively look for a "PC." item in the Cost/Price Update utility.
