Repricing

Before you run AIMS Repricing Tools, understand that it will reprice items based on the Automatic Mark Down settings in each category record.  There is no undo.

The output for this step is the exception; it does not appear in a tab at the bottom of the window; it will appear in a Repricing Preview window that will pop up while the tool is running.

This window shows items that qualified for repricing based on the category automatic mark down tables.  Each item is shown alongside its pertinent details.  Also included is the old and new pricing information.   Check those items to proceed with repricing and click OK.

Bonus Poster

The output for this step is the Bonus Poster.  This is a poster that shows items that currently have spiff assigned.  It also shows the potential bonus commission an associate can earn for selling this item.  See the section entitled Bonus Poster for more information.

Signage Location Report

The output for this step is the Sign Locations report.  This is a report that shows each item with in-case signage assigned to it.  The report is grouped by case location.  See the section entitled Sign Locations for more information.
