The purpose of the level pricing grid is to preview to the user exactly what the level pricing for the update will look like in the inventory file after the update is performed. In fact, the level pricing grid operates in a similar fashion to the one used on the cost/price tab of inventory maintenance. Users can modify the percentage over cost value or the dollar over cost amount directly in the grid. Also, users can change a price level from percentage over cost to a dollar amount over cost and vice versa.
