Calculating New Item Prices (Sage 50 Premium Accounting and higher)

You can have up to ten price levels for each item. You can change a group of item prices or price levels, using the Maintain Item Prices window.

  1. From the Maintain menu, select Item Prices. The Maintain Item Prices (Filter Selection) window is displayed.
  2. Enter or select a range of items that you want to adjust. When finished, click OK. The Maintain Item Prices window is displayed.
  3. Select each price level that you want to recalculate.
  4. Select the method of adjustment:
    • Level's current calculation and new cost information: If this option is chosen, selected price levels and items that use cost or level one in calculating the price are recalculated based on the current cost or the updated level-one price. Recalculations using this option first look at any item-level calculations you have set up (in Maintain Inventory Items); if there are no item-level calculations, default-level calculations (set up in Inventory Item Defaults) are used.
    • If price level one is selected as a level to adjust, the value for price level one is recalculated first and new prices for the fields that reference level one are then recalculated.

    • Level's default calculation: If this option is chosen, each price level and item selected are recalculated using the calculation in Inventory Item Defaults. Any customized calculations you may have set up for individual items (in Maintain Inventory Items) are overridden.
    • Calculation selected below: If this option is chosen, any existing calculations for the selected price levels and items are overridden, based on the parameters you choose here.
    • Place a checkmark in the Select box of the items you want to recalculate prices for. To change the group of listed items, click the Select (Items) toolbar button.

  5. To adjust item prices based on the options selected, select the Recalculate toolbar button.
  6. Enter or change item prices manually in the New Price field, if desired.
  7. To print a report of your proposed price adjustments, click Print.
  8. To record your price adjustments, click Save. When finished, close the window.

    All new sales transactions will use the new item prices.
