A single item can have multiple prices depending on what price band the user is in. Prices may also change over time. Using this screen we can simply input the price for the item in the grid.
Each item can also have a ‘Cost price’ associated with it. This can be used for simple ‘Profit v Loss’ reporting.
Price groups, price bands, and price lists
The number of price groups, price bands, and price groups will vary on each site. In the screenshot above, this system has two price groups, each with three bands (‘Student’, ‘Staff’, and ‘Community’) and has a single price list. The ‘Winter 2018’ price list has a start date from the 20th September 2018 and will be used until a new price list is created with a more recent start date.
Any Secondary school users set to use the ‘Student’ price band purchasing this item will be charged 50p whereas primary school users set to the ‘Student’ price band will be charged 30p. This flexibility allows councils, MATs, or catering providers to have a single point of product management for all of their systems but also scales down for individual schools.
If you wanted to make changes to the price bands or price groups, you can click either the Edit price bands or Edit price lists buttons.
Upon pressing either button, you will be asked to save any changes that you have made and then taken to the relevant screen.
