For a selected category type, head office can set up to 3 tiers of pricing for products assigned to that category. Once tiered pricing is applied, head office can then assign the tier required, for the selected category, for each slave store.
For example:
- Store A is assigned Tier 2 pricing for Location ‘Baby Formula’.
- Store B is assigned Tier 3 pricing for Location ‘Baby Formula’.
Tiered pricing will lock down the Retail Price field in the product stock card at the slave store, providing the head office with greater control over the Retail Price.
Price changes made via the tiered pricing function from a Multi-store Head Office are captured in the slave store's Price Changes Report.
Tiered pricing can be applied for a single category type, e.g. Department, Brand, IEU, Class or Location.
Please contact Minfos Support to configure your Tier Pricing category.
Once the category has been configured you can set your pricing and allocate your stores to the correct pricing tier.
