Save Time and Keystrokes! Do your vendors change your cost for groups of items across the board? Now you can get high speed cost adjusting tools that allow you to adjust Current Cost or Last Cost with just a few keystrokes. Keep your costs on track all the time!

IAC - Adjust Current/Last Cost allows you to increase or decrease Current Cost or Last Cost by an amount or percentage. Adjust all items or ranges of departments, item numbers and/or vendors. You can choose to add a fixed amount to the calculated cost, select the number of decimal places to use, and optionally round up to the next 5 or 9. Special Hot Keys automatically calculate percentages for you and allow you to save your settings for future sessions. Each new cost can be reviewed as it is calculated for each item, then approved or overwritten, or you can use automatic mode for high speed changes. Detail, Summary, or Errors Only control reports can be printed.

If you also have enhancement IAP - Advanced Price Changing Options, you can set a fixed amount for groups of items, input a different amount for each item at the keyboard or calculate cost as a discount from list price (if list is stored in Price A, B, C, D, or E). See documentation for IAP -Advanced Price Changing Options which also allows you to adjust Prices A,B,C,D, and E and much, much more!

QUICK START:

Before using IAC - Adjust Current/Last Cost, MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR INVENTORY DATA FILES. The new program is designed to make many changes quickly.

Use the first five selections on the Options menu to select the items you wish to change. Use "R" to select report options (Errors Only, Summary or Detail) and "F" to enter or change formulas. When entering formulas, press F2 to see a list of available fields or press F1 for help.

To save and later retrieve your options and formulas use "F7-Import/ Export". This will save you considerable time since you will not have to retype your formulas every time. You can also use "F7" to move formulas between different companies.

When you are ready to calculate new costs, push "F5-Calculate". The first item that matches your options and the item's newly calculated cost will be displayed. You can review these amounts to make sure that your formulas are correct before the new cost is saved. If they are correct, you have the option of manually reviewing each cost or using automatic mode to quickly calculate and save each price, without prompting for you to save. If they are not correct, you can return to the options menu.

For compete details of each option and field, see documentation for IAP - Advanced Price Changing Options. If you own IAC - Adjust Current/Last Cost, and do not own IAP - Advanced Price Changing Options, you will be restricted to using LC - Last Cost or CC - Current Cost in the "Calc" and "Use" columns.
