<p class="Help-Heading-2">Explanation of Price/Cost Fields</p>
<ul>
<li class="p-Help-Bulleted" style="font-size: 9pt;">
<p class="Help-Bulleted"><font class="hcp2">Regular Price</font> Your everyday retail price of the item. If you wish to use a department <a href="../qbpos_glossary_of_terms/glossarypage.htm#glossary_priceformula">pricing formula</a> to calculate your price, leave this field blank when adding a new item. <a href="inven_priceformula.htm">Learn more</a>.</p>
</li>
<li class="p-Help-Bulleted" style="font-size: 9pt;">
<p class="Help-Bulleted"><font class="hcp2">MSRP </font> Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price; a reference price that, if entered here, is printed on your price tags to demonstrate savings to your customers. Note: Some tag <a href="../qbpos_glossary_of_terms/glossarypage.htm#glossary_template">templates</a> may not display the MSRP, due to size limitations.</p>
</li>
<li class="p-Help-Bulleted" style="font-size: 9pt;">
<p class="Help-Bulleted"><font class="hcp2">Cost</font> The average unit cost for the item quantity currently on hand. Enter this cost ONLY if you have an on-hand quantity of the item when initially setting up Point of Sale. Otherwise, as you make receiving vouchers, Point of Sale automatically updates this field. <a href="../qbpos_receiving/vouch751.htm">Learn more</a>.</p>
</li>
<li class="p-Help-Bulleted" style="font-size: 9pt;">
<p class="Help-Bulleted"><font class="hcp2">Margin %</font> Gross <a href="../qbpos_glossary_of_terms/glossarypage.htm#glossary_margin">margin</a> or profit margin percentage. Auto-filled from department record (if defined) on new items and updated automatically as average unit cost changes. Manually <a href="pro_tip_using_margin_to_update_prices.htm">editing the margin</a> results in a recalculation of your price(s).</p>
</li>
<li class="p-Help-Bulleted" style="font-size: 9pt;">
<p class="Help-Bulleted"><font class="hcp2">Markup %</font> Alternate way to express profit; markup by <font style="font-style: italic;">n</font>% over average unit cost. Same behavior as margin. When either are edited, the other is recalculated automatically.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p class="Help-Heading-2">Price Levels</p>
<p class="Help-Text">Optionally, enter prices and markdown percentages for your markdown <a href="../qbpos_glossary_of_terms/glossarypage.htm#glossary_pricelevels">price levels</a> for the item (your custom price level names displayed). If you use Point of Sales pricing formula to calculate your regular prices and have defined price level markdown percentages, Point of Sale automatically calculates the price at each price level for you on new items.</p>
<ul>
<li class="p-Help-Nested-List" style="font-size: 9pt;">
<p class="Help-Nested-List">Enter/edit a price or markdown percentage for each price level if this items pricing is to be different from your default markdowns.</p>

<p class="Help-Nested-List">You can define or change your default price level names and markdown percentages in <a href="../qbpos_company_preferences/sysprefs05.htm">company preferences</a>. &#160;Note that changing your default markdown levels do not update existing item prices. You can use <a href="../qbpos_price_manager/pricemgroverview.htm">Price Manager</a> to quickly change existing item prices if desired.</p>
