Working with Price Tickets (WPTW)

Price tickets are labels you attach to items that you wish to transfer to a retail store. The ticket contains information such as the item number and SKU, retail price and outlet price. A barcode prints on each label so you can scan the label information automatically into your system.

There are two types of price tickets you can use:

• A Hanging price ticket is used for items that are stored in a hanging location, such as a suit.

• A Label price ticket is used for items that are stored on a flat surface, such as shoes.

When is a Price Ticket Generated?

The system automatically generates price tickets for items on a retail store order.

Identifying retail store orders: The system considers an order a retail store order if:

• The Mailorder/retail field for the order type on the order is set to R (retail), and

• The sold to customer on the order represents a retail store (the Warehouse field for the customer contains a warehouse code whose Retail outlet field is selected).

However, you can manually create a price ticket for any item at the Create Price Ticket Screen or Create Price Tickets for Order Screen.

When is the price ticket generated? The Generate Price Tickets During Pick Slip Generation (I77) system control value controls when price tickets are generated.

• H = The system generates price tickets in hanging format during pick slip generation for retail store orders.

• L = The system generates price tickets in label format during pick slip generation for retail store orders.

• N or blank = The system does not generate price tickets during pick slip generation for retail store orders; instead, the system creates a record in the Price Ticket Work table for each price ticket. You must use the Work with Price Tickets Screen to print the price tickets. At this time, you can select which price ticket format (hanging or label) to print.

The system uses the Price Ticket Print Program (F46) system control value to print the price tickets. The base print program, FLR0715, prints price tickets in a format suitable for a Monarch printer. Print program FLR1128 prints price tickets in a format suitable for a Zebra printer.

If you wish to print price tickets on a different printer, you need to verify that the printer will print the correct number of labels. See Hanging Price Ticket and Label Price Ticket for details.

Note: If the Generate Price Tickets During Pick Slip Generation (I77) system control value is set to H or L, the system automatically prints the price tickets during pick slip generation and clears the Price Ticket Work table of any other price ticket records; price tickets printed during pick slip generation will not display on the Work with Price Tickets Screen and any other price tickets that existed in the work table no longer display.

Determining the Retail and Outlet Prices

The price that defaults to the Retail price field and Outlet price field varies, depending on where you generate the price ticket.

Retail price:

• If generating the price ticket from the Create Price Ticket Screen: The Retail price for the item/SKU on the price ticket is from the Original retail dollars field in the SKU table. If the Original retail dollars field is blank, the system requires you to enter a retail price.

• If generating the price ticket from the Create Price Tickets for Order Screen: The Retail price for the item/SKU on the price ticket is from the List price field in the SKU table. If the List price field is blank, the system defaults the Original retail dollars field from the SKU table. If both the List price field and Original retail dollars field are blank, the Retail price remains blank.

• If generating the price ticket during pick slip generation: The Retail price for the item/SKU on the price ticket is from the Original retail dollars field in the SKU table. If the Original retail dollars field is blank, the retail price is 0.00.

Outlet price:

• If generating the price ticket from the Create Price Ticket Screen: The Outlet price for the item/SKU on the price ticket is from the SKU Offer price for the offer you enter in the Offer field. This is the Price field in the SKU Price table for a quantity of 1 with the most recent effective date. If a SKU Price is not defined, the system uses the Price field from the Item Price table for a quantity of 1 with the most recent effective date. If a price is not defined for a quantity of 1, the system requires you to enter an outlet price.

• If generating the price ticket from the Create Price Tickets for Order Screen: The Outlet price for the item/SKU on the price ticket is from the List price field in the SKU table. If the List price field is blank, the Outlet price remains blank.

• If the price ticket is printed during pick slip generation: The Outlet price for the item/SKU on the price ticket is from the SKU Offer price for the offer associated with the source code on the order header. This is the Price field in the SKU Price table for the order quantity with the most recent effective date. If a SKU Price is not defined, the system uses the Price from the Item Price table for the order quantity with the most recent effective date. If a price is not defined for the order quantity, the system uses the price for a quantity of 1 with the most recent effective date. If a price is not defined for a quantity of 1, the outlet price is 0.00.
