Extras -Adding to Unit Cost and RRP

Column F has an Option Code of OPEXCST and to get the Unit cost and the RRP to use this 1 Option code for pricing you must set it up as below

Colunm F

  • Unique name - COST
  • Inventory Code for Pricing - OPEXCST
  • Related Data Field - UNITCOST

Column H

  • Unique name - EXTRACHARGE
  • Value applies to price from related Option Name - COST (this links it back to the Option code in the COST column)
  • Related Data Field - RRP

If either Cost or RRP are left blank BUZ will only apply the cost or the RRP but if both are entered then both will be applied

FREIGHT

This is the Key Word for this column (Option).

So FREIGHT (not case sensitive) is the Key Word (Name) for this option and must be unique for this tab (Product Type/Inventory Group)

Row 3: FREIGHTMETHOD

This is the column that the Inventory Code for pricing is .

To indicate the inventory code to be used to look up pricing add the pipe character "|" followed by the inventory code in capitals that is to be looked up for price.  This is not validated so if price does not appear check the code is correct and exists in Inventory Maintenance.

Row 4: RRP

The field for the option Item that that answer to this is to be saved to..  Possible fields are DESCN, ITEMWIDTH, ITEMHEIGHT, ITEMDEPTH, QTY, RRP, AMT

Format is pipe character “|” followed by the field that the value is to be saved as. This is the third (last) parameter on the line.

DISCOUNTThis is the Key Word for this column (Option). 
Row 2: OPDISCOUNTInventory Code for pricing.Here we see a product code OPDISCOUNT to apply the value to rather than change the line item values as with discounts given at the quote stage.
Row 4: RRPThe field for the option Item that that answer to this is to be saved to..  Possible fields are DESCN, ITEMWIDTH, ITEM HEIGHT, QTY, RRP

Marketing is also in a similar format and contains questions relating to current marketing campaigns and demographics.

It is found in the same output spreadsheet as above.

***Note: For the Lead Sources reports to work the first 2 column must be TYPE and  COMPTYPES

Import Errors

Typical Error "Error in sheet: AWZS - Sheet Name: AWZS,Inventory Code: OPRLBRKT Column #:6 Row #:13"

Option Product Codes are validated as existing during the import and the above message indicates the Inventory Code was not found. If the Code is not a Code this indicates the column is not formatted correctly.

Important Price Calculation considerations

Zero Quantity required

When calculating the prices most involve quantity(Qty), ItemWidth, ItemHeight and ItemDepth. Often these are not all set using the Options so BUZ sets them to 1 (one), if you have an Option that includes a response of 0(zero) you may end up with 1 flowing through, this mainly effects quantity. So if you have an Option that asks, for example, the quantity of brackets and a valid answer is 0 then the Options needs to structured so that the resultant charge is not for 1.

Price Grid returns zero

When pricing both the main product and the add-ons and Price Grid is used if the Price Grid returns zero price, this includes sizes greater than the maximum setup in the grid, are considered "not available" so when this happens unexpectedly don't forget to check the Options as well as the main product.
