| Preference | Description |
|---|---|
| Margins Affect | Select either Price or Cost to have changes to Margin affect that value. |
| Style Description Field | Select which descriptive field to use for defining styles: Desc 1, Desc 2 or Both. The descriptive field(s) you choose, combined with the DCS Code and Vendor Code fields, define the style and make it unique |
| Default Maximum Discount | Each item can be assigned a maximum discount percentage in its inventory record (Max Discount % field). The maximum discount percentage is the maximum amount that can be entered in the Disc % field when the item is listed on a receipt. Enter the maximum discount percentage that will be allowed for new items. Enter as a number, without the "%" sign. The percentage you enter here does not impact existing items. Note: If a user tries to discount an item beyond its maximum discount, Prism will adjust the discount to be no more than the maximum allowed percentage. |
| Populate Max Discount From |
This preference is for backward compatibility with Retail Pro 9. When a user lists an item on a transaction and tries to apply a discount to that item, Prism checks to make sure the value does not exceed the Maximum Discount % entered in the item's Inventory record. Prism will populate the Max Discount % field with either the Max Discount % 1 or Max Discount % 2 value from the RPSODS INVN_SBS_ITEM table. |
| Enable Cost Difference Threshold | If you select the Enable Cost Difference Threshold feature, the Cost Difference Threshold field becomes editable. If the Enable Cost Difference Threshold checkbox is not selected, then this field is read-only. Default = Disabled. If this preference is selected, when editing the Cost field in Inventory, if the new Cost differs from the old Cost by more than the specified percentage, a warning will be displayed that shows the percentage difference. You will still be allowed to save the Cost change. |
| Alert when Item Price differs with Style Price | If selected, an alert will be displayed to users when a change is made to an item's price such that the price is different from other members of the same style. |
| Allow Negative Quantities | When enabled, allows manual change of item quantity to negative values. |
