Changing Prices for a Temporary Sale
Pro Note: Pro users may want to use Price Manager's automatic discounting option for this purpose.
The restore feature in Price Manager makes it easy to temporarily markdown prices for a sale and then return them to the previous level when the sale is over.
For example, you might mark down your regular prices by 15% for a weekend sale and then restore them before opening for business Monday morning.
This is the basic procedure for a temporary price reduction. Use the links in each step for detailed instructions.
To mark down prices for a temporary sale:
Start a new price change and enter the price calculation criteria.
If marking down different groups of items by different amounts, select the first group of items in the Price Change wizard and enter pricing just for that group. After completing the wizard and with the price change item list displayed, use the Select Items button to specify the second group of items and then Calculate Prices to enter pricing criteria for them, and so on until all of your new prices are calculated.
From the View menu, select Items with New Price.
This choice displays all items for which a new price has been entered, allowing you a final review before updating inventory with the prices.
If desired, print markdown price tags.
Select Apply Changes to Inventory.
When the sale is over, restore the prices to their previous level.
Notes:
It is recommended you not make other manual price changes to the same items while the sale is going on. When you restore prices at the end of the sale, all old prices will be restored, overwriting any manual changes you made in the interim.
