Overriding sell prices on products

Overview

Readysell provides a number of ways of overriding the default sell prices for one product or many products. Normally products are sold at fixed sell prices, you can change the fixed sell, change the calculation to ignore fixed sell and use markup from cost instead, use your own price levels instead of the standard once and set rules to override the standard price levels.

Options available

Replacing standard list prices for a product or all products. Broadly there are the following options:

• Create a new price level. For all products. Do not use the standard list price level at all for some or all sales. Create new price levels to replace the standard price levels.
  • For example make a price level “MYLIST” and set it to be a minus discount of 2%, making it 2% more than list. For example I do not want to use "List" as my default sell price level. I still want list to update from the buying group. So I create another price level called "MYLIST" and set that to be the default price level. Then set "MYLIST" to be a discount from the "List" price level. Then all products will sell at the "Mylist" price level, even though the fixed sell on the "List" price level stays the same.
  • You can make any price level be a markup from cost for all products, by changing the settings on the price level. For buying groups we normally do this by making a custom price level for your site and changing the custom price level. We normally leave the price level from the Buying group as it is.
  • See: Sell price levels
• Change the way a price level is calculated on a particular product
  • Stop using fixed sell for a price level on a product. Change the sell price levels to work from markup from cost. 
  • For a single product and one or more price levels. Don't use fixed sell. Let fixed sell update but use GP% or markup from cost to actually calculate the sell price.. Change the calculation method on the list price level for the product from fixed sell to markup from cost. Then set the markup. The sell price at list will be a markup from cost. Then will change as cost changes over time. 
  • This allows you to on any individual product change the price level on a product. You can manually override the sell price calculation method for a particular price level, say 'List' on a particular product.
  • Sell price levels
• Change the price category on product category to override the sell price calculation for products in a category and all child categories
  • If you want to make an override rule that applies the same way for a number of products, you can create a price category. Then dropping that rule on a product will change one or many price levels on that product to be markup from cost, discount from another price level etc.
  • Price Categories
• Put customers onto price levels
  • On each customer card you can set the default price level to apply to that customer
  • Card settings
• Create your own price levels and chain groups of those price levels together them to customers.
  • You can create a group of quantity break price levels that link to each other and are separate to the standard price levels. Then put the first of those linked price levels on a customer. The customer will work from that chain of linked price levels instead of from the standard price levels.
  • See Price Category/Groups
• Create contract prices that apply to all products or have such contracts created for flyers by data feeds from your buying group
  • Contract prices can be setup for all products or for groups of products. For example flyers from buying groups.
  • Combining rules on one contact, Scope of contract
  • Contracts

Applying your change to the product and the web

• Note, not all combinations of sell price methods can be sent to the website. There are some limits.
• Set the “display on website” checkbox on the effected product to ticked. So the new sell price will flow to the web
• Set ignore sell price changes checkbox to true on the product to stop any changes to fixed sell that you might make from being replaced by automatic price updates. If you use markup from cost you don’t need to do this. As changes to fixed sell no longer effect the product.
