Price Markdowns

Prices can be marked down at the point of sale in a variety of ways as follows:

• Direct price entry of a dollar amount.

• Direct entry of the extended total for a document's lines.

• Direct entry of the document total.

• Entry of a discount off (or markup on) the List price (eg. entering D15 against the list price of a sale document calculates a price 15% off list price).

• Entering a mark up (or discount off) cost price (eg. entering M20 in the Misc cost/Cost column sets the price to 20% on cost.

• Selecting a number of lines from a document and using one of the discount/mark up from List or Cost prices mentioned above. This allows you to apply the discount or mark up to all the selected lines.

Note that all these methods are governed by the limit and authorisation tests mentioned above. Also there are security restrictions to the ability to enter or access columns such as Cost price.
