Function documentationWorking with Price Batches

 

Your head office can send files to your store containing batches of new PLU information that will be effective on a certain date at a certain time. Typically this new information consists of new prices. However, it can also consist of other information, such as taxes. You can also create a batch yourself, so that a series of price updates can be implemented at once. You can view, edit, and apply the information in the batches using the batch management function.

Each time the batch management function is used to change the price of a PLU, the information is tracked and you can review it using the retail price audit function. For more information on the price audit function, see Auditing Product Price Changes.

Each batch you receive has a unique batch number consisting of your store number and a sequential number. A batch contains a list of PLUs, fields, current values for the fields from the PLU table, and new values for the fields.

Your head office uses the Configurator to define the fields that can be affected in the batches of updates, and determines if you can edit the information at the store level in the Store Manager. The batch does not need to contain updated information for all of the fields.
