Supplier Cost ?

Is there a way in POS 2009 to set the supplier rate and then going forward, enter the retail price for an item & let POS do the math for the cost? For ex.: I get 42% off retail price on books, some of my suppliers only send me the retail $ on the invoice. Can I set POS to automatically apply that 42% to all the books I enter into Inv., by entering the Price? The reason this is important with books is that the Retail price is printed on every book. There is no room for flux. Up or down. Not the case with all my other items, only books -- Thanks! David D. L.S.B.

hi David, yes possible through trigger and stored procedure can be accomplished but please confirm you want 42$ on the cost price to calcaute the retail or you want 42% profit will be calcuate base on the cost price.

Akber, this sounds like good news, can you please elaborate on how to do this. I want to enter a retail price and have pos subtract 42% to give me the cost. My two main vendors give me a retail price on my invoices, and then I get 42% off that. I don't want to have to drag out a calculator every time I put items into inv. So it will be nice to tell pos that every item from vendor "X" gets 42% discount from retail. Thanks for your help!

Could you please give me some more info on oe to do that?
