PRICE BASIS
Field #14
The inventory system allows you to have up to 9 price levels for an inventory item.
You don't have to use all 9 levels. In fact, 2 or 3 price levels are usually adequate
for most companies. The three main components of pricing are Price Basis,
List/Base and the price adjustment levels 1 through 9. The price basis you assign
to each item determines how the price is computed by using the price adjustment
levels as they relate to List/Base. List/Base is a value kept in the Inventory Store
Data File (IM2.D). It can also be thought of as retail or cost, the basis from which
the price levels are calculated. You have the following price basis options (see
below for further explanation of each option):
0 = Percentage markup or markdown from List/Base
1 = Dollar markup or markdown from List/Base
2 = Actual prices. No List/Base is needed
3 = Gross margin percentage markup or markdown from List/Base
10 = Same as price basis 0 except price adjustment levels 6-9 are quantity
breaks
11 = Same as price basis 1 except price adjustment levels 6-9 are quantity
breaks
12 = Same as price basis 2 except price adjustment levels 6-9 are quantity

13 = Same as price basis 3 except price adjustment levels 6-9 are quantity
