Create a different price sheet for a price line by changing the effective date on the price sheet. This way you maintain the pricing rules set up for the price line, while changing only the necessary details.
Maintain different price sheets for the same product for the following reasons:
Different branches use different price sheets to arrive at their pricing.
Different vendors provide the same product at different branches.
Promotional price sheets are set up for branches.
You can use a default price sheet (tilde (~) price sheet) to keep most settings for price sheets throughout your company the same, but adjust a setting for a local branch that make handle costs differently. For more information, see How Eclipse Handles Price Sheet Hierarchies.
To change a price sheet effective date:
Display the Price Sheet Entry window in one of the following ways:
From the Maintenance > Price Maintenance menu, select Price Sheet Entry.
From the Price Update menu, select Price Sheet Entry.
In the PriceLine field, enter the price line ID.
If this price line has more than one price sheet, a list of the price sheets and the number of items in each displays. The default price sheet is the first in the list.
If the price sheet list displays, select the price sheet containing pricing rules closest to those you want to create in a new price sheet.
An effective date list displays with all of the effective dates for that price sheet and the NEW/CHANGE option.
Select NEW/CHANGE to display the Price Sheet Days window.
In the Purge Age (days) field, enter the number of days to keep this price sheet active. The default is 365.
In the Effective column, scroll to the first empty row, enter the new effective date, and click OK.
The effective date list re-displays including the effective date you just created. The price sheet only inherits its value if the most recent date is blank. The local sheet settings take priority.
Select the new effective date from the list.
If discount classes exist for this price line, select the sheet you want to view from the Discount Classes field. The price sheet displayed contains the new effective date, and the other window information is identical to the existing price sheet.
Enter any new pricing criteria for this price sheet.
