Default Margins

The default margins are used when proposing new sell prices. A margin can be set for a department, department/category or department/category/group, and so on. The system will choose the most specific margin available.

Expand the combination tree to highlight the department/category/group combination for which a margin is to be defined. The system will automatically show any existing margins for the selected combination. Each margin will require a location and up to five margins, one for each sell price.

Manufacturer	The manufacturer this margin belongs to. If left empty, applies to all manufacturers.
Location	The location code for which this margin will apply. This can be a specific location or a group.
Location Name	The location name.
Classification	Used to group types of items together, for example Brandname and Generic.
Effective	Start date.
Expires	End date.
Margin 1 - 5	The default margins to be used for Sell Price 1 - 5.
Type 1 - 5	The type indicates how the margin percentage will be used. This will generally be 'GM%' which means use this percentage as a margin on the cost. However, it can also be set to 'Adj Sell 1', 'Adj Sell 2', and so on. This tells the system to modify the corresponding sell price by the percentage instead of using the percentage as a margin on cost. This would allow you to set the system up so that Sell Price 2 was 10% higher than Sell Price 1. You cannot set the percentage to adjust a later sell price. For example, '% Type 2' cannot modify sell price 3 because sell price 3 has not been calculated yet.

Rounding Rules

Rounding rules are used when proposing sell prices.

Location	The location code for which the rounding rules will apply. This can be a specific location or a group.
Location Name	The location name.
Rounding Rule	The code of the rounding rule to be used by these items.
Description	This is a description of the set of rounding rules.
Effective	Start date.
Expires	End date.
Classification	Used to group types of items together, for example Brandname and Generic.

Cross References

There can be multiple cross-references recorded against the department, category and group for conversion to multiple systems. However, the System in each record must be unique.

System	If the cross-reference is being used for Venue Updates, a value must be selected from the combo-box. Currently cross-references can be set up for HIS, ISS60, SBA and ScanMan venue systems. If the cross-reference is being used for Host Updates, the system will be the supplier code for which the host file is being processed.
New Dept Code	The third-party's equivalent codes for our department. Not all codes will required as it depends on the third-party system's limitations. For example, HIS systems only have a department and category. In this case no group code needs to be entered.
New Cat Code	The third-party's equivalent codes for our category.
New Group Code	The third-party's equivalent codes for our group.
New Subgroup Code	The third-party's equivalent codes for our sub group.
New Department Description	These are the new descriptions that will be sent to the third-party system. They are only required for Venue Update cross-references, not Host Update cross-references.
New Category Description	These are the new descriptions that will be sent to the third-party system. They are only required for Venue Update cross-references, not Host Update cross-references.
New Group Description	These are the new descriptions that will be sent to the third-party system. They are only required for Venue Update cross-references, not Host Update cross-references.
New Subgroup Description	These are the new descriptions that will be sent to the third-party system. They are only required for Venue Update cross-references, not Host Update cross-references.
