There are some checks in the system to:

  • warn you if the margin/GP is below a minimum percentage

It has come to our attention that many of our customers are not aware of these options, so we would like to send out this quick note in case you are interested in turning either/both of these on in your system.

Refresher: Cost Breaks and Pack Breaks

Readysell
April 20, 2012

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.

To calculate Current Cost from Pack Break

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

To calculate Current Cost from Cost 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

Handling wanted changes to products caused by catalogues

Readysell
March 14, 2012

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:

  • To set your own sell prices for products
  • To buy products in different units to that suggested by the catalogues

As such, Readysell has made some changes to the system to help in this area.

  1. We have created a new report to better track changes to cost caused by catalogues
  2. We have allowed for the cost on products to be quoted in a different unit to the unit you actually stock it in
  3. We have also allowed for products to be purchased in a different unit to the unit the product is stocked in. In which case both the cost on the purchase order and the quantity received into stock are adjusted.

All of these changes are outlined in a document called “Catalogue Cost Change Tracking” in the Downloads section of our web site under “Office Brands”.
