The following program description deals with:
The price change type is defined in this program, i.e. the user defines whether this is to be a price discount or a markup, whether the price change is totalizer-dependent, etc. The user cannot yet define whether it is a value or percentage price change (see field Price change %.
A more detailed description of the price change type and a link to terminal types can be completed with program Price change parameter. The appropriate keys should be created in program Key if a manual price change is to be carried out. Totalizer-dependent percent changes are handled with Price change %.
This paragraph will provide a short overview over the options available for updating these Basic Data.
Just like in almost any other program:
Permitted input range: numeric, 1 - 9999
Select the number of the company to which the price change type is to be assigned.
Permitted input range: numeric, 1 - 9999
This is the number of the price change type to be administered in the system.
To add a new record, enter an unused number in this Key Field.
For changes or deletions, the records can be retrieved by entering the numbers here. If you do not know the number, you can also select the data record via the Search Function.
Note:
Permitted input range: alphanumeric, max 20 characters
Enter the name of the price change type. The description is arbitrary, but should be eloquent.
Field with fixed preset selection options
Select the desired price change type by clicking the button. Via this field, the actual price change type is defined.
The following categories are set in the system:
Permitted input range: numeric, 1 - 99
If several items are booked within a receipt itemisation it often happens that these items are linked to various VAT rates. If a differentiation by VAT is to be made for the value of the price changes, no entries should be made here. Instead button Reassignment (= standard setting) should be activated. If only one VAT is to be the basis for price changes, enter the code of the VAT rate here. The VAT is updated in window VAT.
Note:
Permitted input range: numeric, 0 - 99
Parametering totalizer = "0" and the deactivated button Totalizer dep mean that no price changes can be made.
No price change can be made.
All (discountable) items – independent of the totalizer – are to be discounted.
Only the items of one specific totalizer are to be discounted.
Graduated discounts (totalizer-dependent/totalizer independent) are to be created.
Entry range permitted: numeric, 0 - 99999
Enter the no. of the text group in which the texts for price changes have been stored. The text should be stored in program Parameter -> Misc.Params.-> Text group under text group 9020 type "Price change type" in the system.
Select the text which is to be linked to this price change type.
Note:
If a discount text group is linked to the price change the text will be stored
in the Price change position of the appropriate
transaction.
Entry range permitted: numeric, 0 - 99999
Enter the no. of the text from the text group which is to be linked to this price change type. The text should be stored in program Parameter -> Misc.Params.-> Text group under text group 9020 type "Price change type" in the system.
Note:
If a discount text group is linked to the price change the text will be stored
in the Price change position of the appropriate
transaction.
Button active: Price changes
are calculated on the basis of the net price.
Button deactivated: Price changes are calculated on the basis of the
gross price.
Note:
When this option is activated for discount/markup on items, the net price is
always used as the basis for calculation. With an item discount of 10 % on one
item which is priced at Euro 10,- the new price of Euro 9,- is calculated. With
a further item discount of 10 % on the same article the price of Euro 9,- will
be used as the basis for the new calculation, i.e. 0,90 Cent will be granted as
an additional discount on this item. The new price would then be Euro 8,10. If
this option is not activated, the new price for this item would be Euro 8,-.
Warning!
For menu items the option "Menu
Totalizer" must be activated to ensure that totalizer-dependent
discounts for menu items are included.
Button active
Button deactivated
Note:
If a number is entered under totalizer and if this switch has not been activated, the prices of all discountable items will be changed.
Please note that a price change (markup/markdown) and the associated reassignment only take place if the items are also discountable (parameter Price change perm. in Item).
Button active:
Button deactivated:
Example:
If a further ST price change is booked after a price change, the calculation is once again based on the position value of all item positions in a receipt for which price change is permitted.
No implication at present.
The procedure is as follows if an automatic markup/markdown is to be assigned
when a receipt is finalised with a payment type. Enter the no. of the price
change in the appropriate Payment type in field Markup/Markdown
no. The price change is automatically booked after release via the payment
type. An example can be found under Automatic
markup for payment by cheque.
Button activated: This price
change type can only be used for promotions of the type Transaction discount and On request discount.
Button deactivated: This price change type can not be used for
promotions of the type Transaction discount and On request discount.
Note:
To use this kind of Price change type in promotions, a promotion type of Transaction discount or from type On request discount shoudl be set up (see Promotions).
Button activated: This Price
change type cannot be linked to a Promotion.
Button deactivated: This Price change type can be linked to a Promotion.
Button active: The entries
in the table with totalizer-dependent graduated discounts which are accessible
via Button: Price change % are activated.
Button deactivated: The entries in window Price
change parameter are activated.
Totalizer-(in)dependent percentage price changes can be made in the form of graduated discounts. The prerequisite here is that
When this button is active,
Button active: The price
change assumes that there is a supervisor lock position
Button deactivated: The supervisor lock position is not required for
price change.
An attempt to carry out a price change in supervisor lock position in spite of an active button is rejected by the application with message "Only for supervisor".
Button active: The discount amount calculated by the system (and not the amount of the discounted items) is rounded according to the parametering in Payment type.
Note:
Button deactivated: There will be no rounding of the discount amount.
Button active: Additional
prices of menu items are included in the reassignment of totalizer-dependent
discounts.
Button deactivated: Additional prices of menu items are not
included in the reassignment of totalizer-dependent discounts.
Activate this option if the menu components have been created with Additional price and if these are to be taken into account during reassignment of totalizer-dependent discounts.
The prerequisite here is that Totalizers entered under Totalizer match the totalizer entered in Item or Department update and that the options Reassignment and Totalizer dep. have been activated for this price change type.
This should also be activated if Totalizer-dependent graduated discounts are to be created.
Button activated: A text
group can be linked to this price change type.
Button deactivated: No text group can be linked to this price change
type.
Note:
If a discount text group is to be linked to the price change the text in the Price change position of the appropriate transaction
will be stored.
