The Modify Special Prices Utility allows the Special Prices for an item to be adjusted by either a dollar amount or a markup percentage. This utility is the same as the existing "Modify Level Prices" utility except it only affects Special Prices.

 

The ability to provide special pricing for certain items to customers is a commonly used feature in the entrée system. This section will detail how to modify special prices.

 

"Update by Customer" mode allows the application of updates to Special Prices only for the specified list of customers. Using ranges as input values (i.e., "ABC1- DEF9") in the "Customer Number" field.

 

In version 4.0.40 the operation of this utility was revised to block changes to "float" prices when performing updates on "percent" prices and vice versa. This modification restores the V3 behavior and allows these updates to be made.

 

For detailed information on Pricing structures see the Modify Level Pricing topic and Cost Price Utilites.

 

NECS strongly recommends all users are out of the entrée system, when this utility is run. This will ensure the data integrity is not compromised by another user, accessing one or more of the data files while the operation is being performed.
