Scheduling Price Changes for Stock Items

The Price Change Scheduler is a utility that allows you to prepare base price changes for ranges of stock items in advance and schedule these price changes to be applied at a certain date and time.

Some examples of use include:

24/7 operations operating Internet Shopping businesses where customers may be ordering at all times of the day or night and where any price changes must be instantaneous across the range of products affected.
Businesses that operate on the basis that customers must be formally notified of price changes in advance. Once again the price scheduler can be useful to produce a proposed price list in advance.

Note that you should consider whether using the Price Change Scheduler or using Price Policies better suits your purpose, as there are similar capabilities in each.

Use Price Policies if you want the price changes to apply to a single debtor account, or small group of debtor accounts, then you should consider using Price Policies. Price Policies also allow you to group together a range of price changes across multiple stock groups. Price Policies generally allow you to be more precise in your pricing changes than the Price Change Scheduler.
Use the Price Change Scheduler if you want the price changes to apply to all debtors, for a single stock item, then use the price change scheduler.
Use the Price Change Scheduler – Bulk Entry if you want the price changes to apply to all Debtors, for selected Stock Group(s) and Secondary Stock Groups.
