Price Master



The price master file is used to link prices to items. Quasar provides multiple price types and multiple ways to link prices to items. You may establish multiple prices for one item. In that case, Quasar reviews all the available pricing for a specific customer and gives them the lowest price available at the time.

Item Selection

A price can be linked to an individual item, a group of items, a sub-department and a specific item size.

Item

Toggle on or off. Toggle on to enter a specific item to which the price will be linked.

Item Group

Toggle on or off. Toggle on to enter an item group. All items linked to the group will be linked to the price.

Sub-department

Toggle on or off. Toggle on to enter a specific sub-department. All items linked to the sub-department will be linked to the price.

Size

Enter the size of the item(s) that the price will be linked to.

Card Selection

A price by default is linked to all customers. This default may be changed and the price may be linked to a specific customer or a specific group of customers.

Card

Toggle on or off. Toggle on to link a price to a specific customer.

Card Group

Toggle on or off. Toggle on to link a price to a specific group of customers.

Store

If the price is valid only in a specific store, enter that store. If blank the price will be valid in all stores.

Promotion?

Toggle on or off. Toggle on if the price is a promotional price.

Discountable?

Start Date

Use this attribute in conjunction with the "Stop Date" to define a range of dates within which the price will be valid. If a date is entered the price will be valid on or after the date entered. If left blank the price will be valid up until the stop date.

Stop Date

Use this attribute in conjunction with the "Start Date" to define a range of dates within which the price will be valid. If a date is entered the price will be valid before or on the date entered. If left blank the price will be valid indefinitely

Day of Week

The day(s) of the week that a price is valid may be defined individually. The day mask format is in this order: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Therefore if you set the day mask to be "NNNNNYY" then the price would be valid only on Saturday and Sunday.

Minimum Qty

The price may be valid only after a minimum qty of the item(s) have been purchased. For example the regular price on an item is 10.00 each. But if you buy twelve of them the price would be 9.00 each. Enter the minimum quantity of units that a customer must buy to receive this price. If zero, the price is valid for any quantity.

Qty Limit

You may limit the quantity of items that may be sold at a special price. For example, the regular price of an item may be $10.00 each. You can put this item on special for $6.00 and limit the quantity that a customer may purchase on a single invoice to 2.

Price Method

Quasar has multiple pricing methods.

Price

Toggle on or off. Toggle on to enter a single price and/or at/for pricing. A single price is simply one item for a single price. For example if you enter ".50" then the price of each unit of sale will be $0.50. . At/For pricing is a quantity for a price. For example, if you enter "3/1.00" the price will be three items for $1.00. You may also enter a combination like ".50 3/1.00". In this case you would pay $0.50 each or $1.00 for combinations of three.

Cost Plus

Toggle on or off. Toggle on to enter a cost plus percentage. Cost plus pricing provides the ability to set the price at your cost plus a percentage markup. For example, if you set the cost plus at "10%" and your cost for an item is $1.00, all customers linked to the price would pay $1.10.

Percent Off

Toggle on or off. Toggle on to enter a percentage off discount. For example, if "10%" is entered here and the price of an item is $1.00 then the price charged the customer will be (1.00 - 0.10) $0.90.

Dollar Off

Toggle on or off. Toggle on to enter a specific dollar discount to take off of an item. For example, if you enter "$1.00" here and the regular price of the item is $10.00, then the customer will be charged (10.00 - 1.00) $9.00 for the item.
