The document “Creating Associated Products†has been updated. This document now covers the following areas:
This document is available in the Support Downloads section of the Readysell website under Readysell Version 7 > Products and Stock.
A cost break is used when the unit the product is received in is different to the unit cost it is quoted in. For example, Cost P1 is $100 (being the cost of a box of pens). There are 100 pens per box. Pens are ordered by each pen.
The default cost break will always be set to zero.
These calculations apply if the Cost Break is set to 0.
If Pack Break > 0
Current Cost = Cost P1 / Pack Break
If Pack Break < 0
Current Cost = Cost P1 x Pack Break
These calculations apply if the cost break is NOT set to 0.
If Cost Break is > 0
Current Cost = Cost P1 / Cost Break
If Pack Break < 0
Current Cost = Cost P1 x Cost Break
See the chart below for some examples
| Cost P1 | Retail Break | Pack Break | Cost Break | Calculated Current Cost From Pack Break | Calculated Current Cost From Cost Break | Qty Purchased | Change In stock on hand |

Over the past few months there has been an increasing need to be able to track the changes to costs and breaks caused by catalogues. The reason for this need is:
As such, Readysell has made some changes to the system to help in this area.
All of these changes are outlined in a document called “Catalogue Cost Change Tracking” in the Downloads section of our web site under “Office Brandsâ€.
Recent changes to WebX have added many previously non-catalogue items to the Office Brands range. These products (mostly toners) are contained within the WEB01 catalogue.
The result of this is that members who have already stocked these items independently now have to merge the catalogue items into their existing product file. Readysell has developed a series of reports to assist with this data merge.
The 3 new reports we produced help identify duplicate products before or after loading WEB01Â or any other catalogue. These reports are as follows
This report gives you products to catalogue where the product is not an EZ-code. Also, the barcode matches a catalogue product that does have an EZ-code.
This report gives you products to catalogue where the product is not an EZ-code. Also, the product less the prefix matches a catalogue product that does have an EZ-code.
This report gives you products to catalogue where the product is not an EZ-code. Also, the supplier’s code matches a catalogue products that does have an EZ-code.
With each of these reports:
Each report gives you an actin:
Readysell has developed a feature for Office Brands members who have items in their product file that are yet to be converted to Ezy-Codes. This procedure involves matching various alternate product IDs against data extracted from the Office Brands Data Portal.
To facilitate this, Readysell has created new screens in Readysell Version 7 to manage the procedure as well as pre-populating the necessary data into your system from the Office Brands Data Portal. We have put together a document called “EZ-Code Matching” in the Downloads section of our web site under “Office Brands” that outlines the steps necessary to apply the Ez-Codes to your existing product file.
There have been a number of changes to the Readysell 7 software over the last few months. While we highlight some of these features on our blog and mailing list, all new features and improvements are documented in our release notes.
As such, we encourage you to keep a close eye on our release notes on our web site. They can be found in the Downloads section under Readysell Version 7 > Release Notes. If you visit this page you will see 3 documents for Janurary 2012, February 2012 and March 2012. Please review these to see a summary of what’s new in the Readysell software.
If your system has not received an upgrade with these new features and you are interested in receiving them, please submit a ticket to our Support Centre and one of our support staff will arrange for your system to be upgraded.
The Readysell 7 purchase order window has 2 new features. Last Cost and Promotion fields have been added to the Purchase Order window. For the line of product you are on it now shows if the product is on promotion and what the last cost is.
Just a reminder for anyone who hasn’t registered their interest yet.
Readysell is planning some user group meetings for our Office Brands customers. We plan to cover the following areas:

Readysell is in the process of testing some new merging catalogue merging procedures internally. Because of a high risk of product duplication, we request that customers do not load the WEB01 catalogue into their system unless explicitly advised to do so.
The new merging procedures and associated reporting will be available in the next week or so. Once this is ready, we will provide instructions on how to best proceed with loading this catalogue.
If you have accidentally loaded this catalogue, please contact our support team for assistance.
