Price Chart may be defined as a form where the price of multiple items are fixed for a particular vendor from a particular date.
GINESYS offers a comprehensive storage of vendor wise, item wise rates for items in relation to dates. In other words, GINESYS allows its users to create a vendor wise list of items whose rates are defined for a particular date. This flexibility allows our users to buy and sell their wares for maximum profitability by assigning fixed rates for a particular time period; ensuring that market fluctuations do not affect the bottom-line of their products. Price Chart offers the flexibility of maintaining multiple cost prices against one item allowing the tracking of cost prices with their respective Effective Dates.
In other words, suppose there are multiple vendors (V1, V2 and V3) who sell the same item to a GINESYS user but at different prices and at different times of the season. Then the Price Chart feature allows to fix and record buying prices from V1, V2 and V3 in such a way as to help determine the most profitable cost price from each vendor.
The details of all Price Charts are stored in this master and flow from it to all relevant transaction modules.
The Add button in the Price Chart Master grid view allows the inclusion of new Price Charts as and when required. On clicking the button, the Add Price Chart window opens up to include all relevant details of a Price Chart. The new record can then be saved and reflected in the master.
