Changing or extending the Sale dates

We are a retail store and I face this situation every month with cigarette sale prices. We have defined the items to be on sale from say jan 2 to Feb

15 dates. Now the sale date has to be extended to March 15. We use the inventory wizard to do this and use function change item prices and put the new extended dates in the start and end date fields. After that we select the category where we want to change. Now here is the real problem in the items selected. The columns indicate the reg price and curent sale price and the columns which we can change(non grayed once) new sale price, new start date and new end date. Now here the "new sale price" shown in the column is the "regular price by default". What we are trying to do is just extending the sale dates at the current sale prices. But to do so we also have to input new sale prices for each item again. Can it not be left as the existing sale prices? I tried to work around and see if it would allow me to eliminate the new sale price column but it does not. Can someone help me on this issue or have a similar issue and have found a work around, that would be greatly appreciated.

From what I have experienced, it doesn't recognize that you are trying to extend the sale date. It says the new price is actually the retail item price. And you must re-enter the sales information again. I haven't worked a lot with the discount schedule option but it sounds like it might do what you want easier and more efficiently.

you can enter the sale price, then right click on the price and select copy. Then right click again and select paste to all rows. This one step will set all your sale prices the same. I own a convenience store, and have experienced the same problem you have. This is how I get around this problem.

Thanks Duncan:

In fact I am doing the same as you said copying and pasting the price and to do that I had to categorize items based on identical price group. Otherwise wil different prices same is not possible.
