With so many price levels, you may be worried that updating your prices will create a monumental amount of new work for you. As easy as it is to change prices for one price level, won\u2019t it take time to change prices for all of your price levels?Not when you are using default discount percentages. This tools in Retail Pro lets you update\u00a0all your price levels instantly.<\/p>\n
How to do it in 3 easy steps<\/strong><\/p>\n
1. Set up default discount percentages in the pricing area of your Retail Pro settings (System Preference \u2192 Local Preferences \u2192 Merchandise \u2192 Pricing \u2192 General).<\/p>\n

2. Set the Default Discount %<\/strong> amount to the discount below your active (base) level.\u00a0There\u2019s just one rule that you must follow when using default discount percentages: Each of your discount price levels must be less than your base level.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nThe next time you use the Price Manager to change your base prices, all the price levels using default discount percentage will be changed automatically.<\/p>\n
Let’s practice<\/strong><\/p>\n
Let\u2019s say you offer your VIP customers a 20% discount on anything you sell. How would you do that in Retail Pro?<\/p>\n
Set up a new price level for VIP customers and set the prices to 20% less than your basic inventory cost. Then set your default discount percentage to 20%.<\/p>\n
When you use the Price Manager tool to update your basic inventory cost, your VIP prices are automatically adjusted without having to do anything else.<\/p>\n
