Price
Level %
Adjustment Markup
Price Adj 1 100.00
Price Adj 2 90.00
Price Adj 3 80.00
Customers assigned to price level 1 will purchase
the item at $20.00. Price level 3 customers will
purchase the item at $18.00. Usually lumber and
commodities have List/Base as the cost (using the
Base side of List/Base) of the item. Then use a
mark up percentage to calculate the different
price levels. On the other hand, hardware items
have List/Base as the suggested retail from the
vendor (using the List side of List/Base). Then
use a mark down percentage (negative
percentage) to calculate the different price levels.
5. Price Basis 1=Dollar Markup/Markdown
Use this method if you wish to mark up or mark
down from List/Base using a dollar amount. It is
similar to price basis 0 except it uses dollar
amounts. A change to List/Base in an item will
change the calculated price levels accordingly.
For example, if an item's cost is $5.00 and you
want to mark up from cost, enter 5.00 in
List/Base. Then enter the percentages to mark up
in Price Adjustments 1-9:
Price $
Level Markup
Adjustment
Price Adj 1 $2.00
Price Adj 2 $1.80
Price Adj 3 $1.60
Customers assigned to price level 1 will purchase
the item at $7.00. Price level 3 customers will
purchase the item at $6.60. If you want to mark
down from list (retail), use negative price
adjustments.
6. Price Basis 2=Actual Prices
Use this method if you wish to enter the actual
prices in price adjustments 1-9. No List/Base is
needed. Whenever the prices change, you must
manually change each price level when you use
this method.
