(ID# 8278) This Inventory option in Options Configuration allows you to automatically recalculate matrix prices (or core prices for automotive users) that are based on cost when the cost of items in Inventory Maintenance changes (on the Pricing tab, Load tab, or Codes tab if a Product Code with a G type matrix is assigned to the item). This includes + type, $ type, and G-type matrix prices. "+" type are based on a percentage up from cost; "$" type are based on a dollar value up from cost; "G-type" are calculated based on gross profit percent.
N = do not recalculate cost-type matrix prices when the cost of items in Inventory Maintenance changes. If you change the cost in Inventory Maintenance, the only way to update cost-type matrix prices is by running the Price Change Report (RPC).
R = Use the Replacement Cost to recalculate cost-type matrix prices that are based on cost when the cost of items in Inventory Maintenance changes.
A = Use the Average Cost to recalculate cost-type matrix prices that are based on cost when the cost of items in Inventory Maintenance changes.
M = Use the Manufacturer Cost to recalculate cost-type matrix prices that are based on cost when the cost of items in Inventory Maintenance changes.
K = Use the Market Cost to recalculate cost-type matrix prices that are based on cost when the cost of items in Inventory Maintenance changes.
The only application that recalculates + and $ type matrix prices in real time when the applicable cost is changed is Inventory Maintenance (when the identified cost is changed on the Pricing or Load tab, or when the Product Code is changed on the Codes or Load tab and the product code has + or $ type indicators). This means you will still need to run the Price Change Report (RPC) with option F to update + and $ type matrix prices whenever the applicable cost is updated by some other application, such as RFL, RPC, etc.
