Price Manager Overview
Price Manager allows you to create and manage promotional price changes and discounts. Using the employee security and reporting features of Point of Sale, you can easily control and track the effectiveness of your promotional pricing.
Pro users can also set up coupons and have additional discount options as explained below and in related topics.
When you first access Price Manager, a list of your recent price changes is displayed in the right panel and choices for setting up price discounts are displayed in the left panel.
Here's how the two components of Price Manager differ:
Change Item Prices
A price change is typically a permanent change to your item prices, though the changes can be reverted if necessary. In a price change, you can calculate new prices for your items in a variety of ways. The resulting prices can be reviewed, edited, and temporarily saved until you are ready to implement them, at which point you "apply" them to inventory.
Price change records are maintained in your Change Item Prices list. Price changes can be restored, returning the item prices to the level they were at before the change was applied. A prior price change can also be copied (and then edited) to quickly set up a new similar price change.
From Price Manager, you can print markdown tags with both old and new prices to communicate the savings to your customers.
To work with Price Changes:
Select Make Price Changes to start a new price adjustment, or
Double-click the name of a recent price change record in the displayed list to open it, or
Select View All to go to your full list of saved price changes

Discount Pricing
(Free and Basic) You can use Price Manager's discount pricing options to set up and manage manually applied, line item discounts.
(Pro) You can use Price Manager's discount pricing options to set up and manage automatic and coupon discounts, in addition to manually applied discounts. Discount prices may be temporary, scheduled discounts that are in effect for a specified period of time. Each discount price you set up is maintained as a record in your Discount Pricing list. These records can be reviewed, printed, or copied and you can print discount price tags for your items to demonstrate potential savings to your customers.
To work with price discounts:
Select a Set Up button to start a new price discount (choices vary with level)
double-click a current discount to edit it
Select View all Discounts to go to your full list of saved discounts.

Notes:
Only one workstation can be in each area of Price Manager at any time.
(Pro) Only Headquarters can use Price Manager to change item prices or set up discounts. However, the price change and discount records are sent to remote stores, where they can be viewed and used to print markdown and/or discount price tags for the merchandise in their store.
