Maintenance Application

Package: pricing is normally reserved for items on which you want to offer a price break based on
quantity. Package priced items will sell for the base price up until they reach the quantity assigned in
the package price field. An example of package pricing is where the base price for one can of a soft
drink is set at .79 cents but a six pack is sold for $3.99. If the operator enters a quantity of 6 and keys
or scans the item, the register will ring 6 @ $3.99. If the operator keys or scans each item separately,
the register will ring the first 5 soft drinks at .79 cents for a total of $3.95 and the sixth will ring at .04
cents for a package price of $3.99. NOTE: When an item that is part of a product is sold in a quantity
greater than the package quantity, it reverts back to the base price until the quantity is reached again.
In the example above, the 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th products would sell for .79 cents each and the
12th would ring up for .04 cents.

LQD or limited quantity discount: is used to limit the number of items that can be obtained for a
certain price. A real world example could be that you want to limit the access to sale items. Setting the
LQD to .79 cents for quantity 3 means that only the first 3 items purchased qualify for the special LQD
price. The register will ring any extra items at the base price, unless of course there is also a package
price.

Mix-match table #: is used to create associations between similarly priced items. For example, setting
a Jello product to use Base price of 3/$1.00 will allow that item to sell at .34 for the first and .33 cents
for the second and third. If you want to offer your customer any 3 different Jello products for 3/$1.00
you must attach them to the same mix and match group. That way, instead of ringing each of 3
different Jello flavors at .34 cents, the register will ring the second and third items at .33 because they
are in the same mix-match table. Items can be set to a mix and match table and use all of the price
types shown.

In the Sale Price column, From is the date and time that a retail price change is to take effect. Placing
the cursor in this field and clicking will pop up a calendar for date selection. Select the date you want to
have the sale price begin on. The next column is to enter the time if the sale price is time sensitive.

To: is the date the sale price will terminate. It is used for sale periods only. After the sale is over the
price will revert to the regular retail price. If you do not enter an ending date, Symphony Pro will
automatically assign a date 7 days after the start date. NOTE: If you are using the Batch module DO
NOT enter prices directly into the sale price column because they will be erased by the system.
Symphony Pro updates the sale price column automatically from batches. If any batches exist (even 1
batch), all pricing that is entered directly into the Sale price column of the PLU maintenance will be
erased the next time the system checks to see if all batches are up to date in the price fields.

Points: is used for customer loyalty building. You can enter a value of points that will be issued when
this product is sold. The points system can be defined to issue in either amount or %. Related
programming in the register programming utility (PosSetup, System, PLU.) The default points setting
is to issue the points as an amount, not by percentage. NOTE: Points can also be issued off the
tendering amount to simplify maintenance requirements. This is set in the Button and form
programming of the PosSetup module under the parameters of the actual tender function.

Disc $: is used when the price on file should be discounted by a pre-defined dollar amount. For price
levels 2 or greater, a discount entered here will be removed from that level's price. If the price level
being used has no price entered, the discount programmed will be removed from the price of the item
on level one.

%: is used when the price on file should be discounted by a pre-defined percentage. For price levels 2
or greater, a discount entered here will be removed from that level's price. If the price level being used
has no price entered, the discount programmed will be removed from the price of the item on level one.

S.R.P.: The suggested retail price can be used to show the customer the price that the item normally
sells for. The POS can be programmed to calculate and display (or print on the receipt) the difference,
showing a "You Save" type message, based on the Suggested Retail Price field.
