Limit number of Items you can buy at the sale price

How do I fix an item to be on Sale so that the first 3 items ring up at the Sale Price, and the rest of the items ring up at the Regular Price? In other words I am putting an item on sale with a Limit of only 3 items at the Sale Price, If a customer wants to purchase additional product, They will be charged the regular price. I have tried the buydown price with a quantity of

3 entered, but it doesn't seem to work.

Can anyone help me? I would like to know if it is possible to limit the number of items a single person can buy at the sale price, at least rung up at the same time. Ideally, the customer could buy the limit at the sale price, then the additional items he buys will ring up at the regular price. Then the next customer could do the same, etc. I have figured out a way around this problem, but it is not automatic. My cashiers must key in a seperate scan code for the sale item, and manually only sell 3 at the sale price, then ring up the remainder with the regular scan, but this is not what I would expect from microsoft. RMS is a classy system, and should be able to accompolish this small feat. Maybe I have a setting wrong in my system, like maybe an item type, or something in the configuration, I don't know. Many major retailers advertize Limits on their sale items. How do they do it? I am hopeful that RMS can do this, I just have to know the details.

Help!

Kent, Buydown would not work for you anyways. That gives you a quantity, to sell at the buydown price, and that is open for all transactions. Lets say you put 10 in the buydown quantity. It does not matter who, or how many items a customer orders, the first 10 sold to anyone would be sold at the buydown price. This is not what you are looking for, if I am reading you correctly.

I'm fairly confident that the only way to accomplish what you are looking for is through customization. Something that would recognize that X number of item Y has been rung up on a single transaction at sale price, then would start charging regular price instead. If you are interested in a no-obligation estimate to explore what this may cost I would be happy to provide one, just give me a call or drop me an email and we will see what we can do for you.

Hello Kent,

I also have a non-functioning "Buydown" option here. Has anyone responded with an explanation regarding the failure of this option to work?

Tnx,
