Acme allows you to easily manage the price for each inventory item during a sale.
•During Ticket Entry Acme searches for the lowest price that the customer qualifies for. •Both Customer and Item setting can influence prices at the same time via Price Codes. •All items have a List Price and a Default Price Code. The Default Price Code can be used for quantity break pricing that applies to everyone. •If the customer has no Price Code they will get List Price or any Quantity Price breaks that are tied to the Default Price Code. |

During Transactions
-Ticket Entry Discounts -also called "clerk discounts" because they are manually entered by the clerk.
-Ticket Discount -discounts the Selling Price (price code derived price or List Price, whichever is lower) of every eligible item that is on or added to the ticket.
-Discount Percent -discounts the selected item's List Price by whatever percent clerk enters.
-If a customer has both a Trade Discount and a Price Code, Ticket Entry will use the lower of the two.
Discount Item by Dollar Amount -We sometimes get asked why we do not have an action key that discounts an individual item by dollar amount. We encourage use of the "Set Price" action key and keying in the desired sell price instead. When Set Price is used Acme flags the price as Manual and considers it to be premeditated and therefore makes the price 'sticky', it will trump customer specific pricing and Ticket Discount Percentage.
Discount Ticket by Dollar Amount -Use a type Buy Back Item with item number DISCAMNT-TAXABLE Set it as taxable, with no restocking fee. You may also need a second item called DISCAMNT-NONTAXABLE.
Items > Item Pricing -set up Price Codes, and also assign codes to items.
Pricing Hooks -If you use a host accounting system Acme can import custom prices and invoke Price Hooks in Ticket Entry to do just about anything. See Data Pump Hooks for additional information, inquire for details.
