We need manage item price in RMS Headquarters, but in different stores,Item price is different. Such as in store 1, item price is 100, store 2, item price is 100*1.1, store 3, price is 100*1.05, and so on. Can RMS do it?
Yes, each store can have a different price. The "Price" field in HQ Manager is just sort of a default price, or a guideline - it is not necessarily the price at any of the stores. To see store prices check out the item snapshot reports - these show the store specific information.
There are options to set so that when you change the price for a given store it does not affect your HQ Price - go to File/Configuration, Options Tab and click the Help button - all of these options are very well described in the online help - also see the online help for Worksheets.
The answer is actually sort of. RMS does not store prices for each store in HQ and therefore cannot let you efficiently manage prices in each store from HQ. RMS is designed so that each stores pricing is stored at the store. To continue with your example, store 1's price of 100 for item A is only stored in Store 1 as 100. HQ only has one price field and there is no linkage between what is in that price field and what the price in the store is. You can look at the snapshot report for the store, but that is a snapshot of the prices stored in the store, that is not prices for that store kept at HQ.
This may seem like a trivial distinction, but when you have multiple stores in multiple markets running different prices on almost every item in the store, managing prices for each store from HQ becomes a monumental task. You will either need to keep each stores prices in spreadsheets and then load them into RMS separately and push them to each store, Keep a separate database with prices for each store, or build a generic 304 worksheet for each store and copy them when making price changes. This is the least technical method, but potentially hardest to maintain.
What RMS really needs is the ability to set up multiple price lists and then push those price lists to a store rather than push prices to each store for each item. To steal your example again. We should be able to set up Price List A which has $100 for Item A and $200 for Item B. Then we would build Price List 2 which has $110 for Item A and $220 for Item B. We could then push Price list a to Store 1 and Store 2 and then push Price List B to Store
3 and Store 4.That would be true management of prices at HQ.
