2. Control button copy prices, prints labels, and sets the new retail prices
Following sets should be followed to apply the indicated list of New MSRP and New Retail prices to the filtered list of items.
  • Copy All Prices - Copies all the catalog MSRP and Retail prices in to the New MSRP and New Retail columns as shown in this example.  These will be the prices that will be appled to the inventory when printing new labels and setting new prices in the following steps. 
    Note: The MSRP and Retail price may be individually modified within the following menu options when an item is selected.
     
    Important Note: Update all MSRP and Retail prices even if the product is a special order item or not currently stocked. 
    You will have the opportunity to only print labels for items that have an on-hand quantity or on purchase order (On Order).
     
    WHY update all prices? Because if the special order item or not currently stocked item is referenced, the current retail price will be correct.
     
     
  • Print Labels - within the printing routine , select Labels, then select Requested.

    The system will then prompt to only print labels with a On-Hand quantity or are present within an outstanding purchase order (On-order) this reducing the number of labels being printed.  Select Yes to proceed.  Once printed apply the labels to the indicted inventory within the retail space.
     
    With the Label Form selected (Ex: BIN) and the Label Printer selected, choose one of the following options:
  • Order By Item ID - if locations have not been assigned to the inventory, select the order by Item ID to place the labels in  logical order.
  • Order By Location - if locations are have been assigned to a location, certainly select this option! This will make the application of new price labels so much easier.

    3. Set New Prices - Once the new price labels have been applied, the final step of Set New Prices updates the retail price within inventory. 
    If this step is not completed, the retail prices in the inventory will not match the labels just printed.
