Verifying Updated Prices
1. Create a Purchase Entry
Navigate to Transactions > Purchase Entry from the main menu.
Select the supplier and add the updated item to the purchase entry.
Verify the updated Cost Price (CP), Selling Price (SP), and MRP.
Pricing Guidelines to Remember:
Cost Price (CP) should always be less than or equal to the Selling Price (SP).
Landing Cost must be less than the Selling Price (SP) to avoid errors during transactions.
Q1: Can I change the landing cost in the Item Price Change screen?
No, landing cost adjustments must be made in the respective purchase transactions.
Q2: What happens if CP exceeds SP?
The system will display an error, and you must adjust the prices to meet the pricing guidelines before updating.
Q3: How do I verify price changes across multiple outlets?
Use the Data Sync option under Settings to ensure updated prices are reflected across all locations.
