What
New prices can be entered into the system quickly and effectively via the item price overview.
Where
Admin: Item management > Item prices. |
Create pricing categories
Before starting price maintenance (or if the item price groups do not yet exist), it is necessary to create the "Pricing categories" (e.g. employee, delivery, pickup) so that they are visible in the item prices.
The item price groups are created under Admin: Item management > Item price groups > Add price group.
Add item prices
The item prices are added under Admin: Item management > Item prices.
The prices can only be entered per commodity group, and the commodity group can be selected in the drop-down menu at the top.
As a partner of a store, only your own store is visible. If item maintenance is managed centrally for several stores, you can choose between the stores in the drop-down menu at the top. However, the prices can only be stored individually for each store. If the same price is to be entered for several stores at the same time, this can only be done within the item master data (Admin: Item management > Item > Edit > Prices).
If no prices have been entered, they must be added here manually. For example, the prices for the delivery can be defined, and then this data can be used as the basic data/base for all other price groups.
Furthermore, items can also be activated and deactivated here using the "Only active in store" checkbox.
The price calculation for each price group can be added for the entire column using the "Edit" button. At this point, different formulas for price determination can be defined, and the selected column is automatically calculated and populated based on the defined calculation rules.
Example for creating personnel prices
In our example, we want to set the prices for "Employee". For this, a discount of 50% is granted based on the delivery prices. To do this, we click on the "Edit" button for "Employee". We then use the "Delivery" basis for the price calculation and multiply all employee prices by a factor of 0.5, i.e. only 50 % of all prices are calculated, and so we have filled in our price group for employee with one click.
Example of creating a pickup discount
This can also be calculated with a pickup discount. For example, the pickup discount is 30% of the delivery price. To do this, we click on the "Edit" button for "Pickup", select "Delivery" as the base price level again and use the multiplier of 0.7, as we only want to use 70% of our base delivery price.
Setting options for the price calculation
Instead of a percentage calculation, a "Fixed price" can also be set here for all items, e.g. € 5, in which case € 5 is entered in the entire column.
In addition to the "multiplication", an "addition", or "subtraction" of a specific value can also be carried out. For example: If a surcharge of € 1 is to be added to the standard price for "Delivery", click on the "Edit" button for "Delivery", select the "Standard price", select the "Addition" ("+") icon, and enter the number 1. This automatically adds an amount of € 1 to the price in the delivery column, based on the standard price.
Setting price levels
Once all prices have been set accordingly, it is important to ensure that all price groups are correctly stored in the settings. The price groups must be assigned during initial creation for the system to use them, otherwise the default price will be used.
The settings for the price group can be checked and adjusted under Admin: Store management > Stores > Edit > Settings > Price brackets.
The price level selected there is then used for the corresponding price group, for example "Price group for: Pickup", "Pickup" is entered there, so the previously defined pickup prices are used for a pickup.
The dashes indicate that no specific price group is to be used, which means that the standard price is automatically used.
