Inventory Prices

Original Price is the first price for an item. It is entered on the New-Item Screen (F3).

Current Price is the discounted price.

Lowest Price is as the name suggests, the lowest price at which the item had been priced.

When an item is first entered into inventory, Original, Current and Lowest are the same. When an item is discounted, the Original Price remains as it was. The Current and Lowest Prices become the discounted price.

The Original, Current and Lowest Price for one item may be viewed by selecting the item in the Inventory Work Area Table then clicking on Details at the bottom of the BCSS screen:

The Current and Original Prices (along with ID, Description, Category, Details, Quantity, Discount, Discount Date, Date of Last Sale, Date In and Bar Code) may be viewed for several items by creating a report and selecting Print Detailed List on the Report screen:

Likewise, Current Price may be viewed (in addition to ID, Description, Category, Consignor, Quantity and Date In) by selecting Print Brief List on the Report screen:

Fixed Price - No Discounting

To prevent an item from being discounted, create a Discount Schedule with zero discounts; create a Category for non-discountable items; and assign the Discount Schedule to the Category.
