Future Prices allow you to schedule a chosen time for price changes to become active. These changes can be enabled either by using the utilities to set a future price for select products or by scheduling a duration for all price changes made in the products page to become active.
Create a Future Price from the Future Prices Page
This is recommended if you only need to set a select amount of price changes as future prices and would still like standard price changes to apply immediately.
- Navigate to Menu > Utilities > Future Prices
- Click + New
- Search for products by typing into the text box
- Click the Scheduled Time field to open the calendar
- Select or type the date this price change should apply
- Enter an amount into the Quantity
- This will activate the current Product Price and Cost for the entered quantity to be displayed
- Enter the future price into the Price field
- Optionally select a Price Set this should apply to
- To finalise click Add
Note; For more details and a guide on how to utilise Price Sets please see the linked article.
Activate Future Prices for all Price Changes made on Products Page
- Navigate to Menu > Setup > General
- Select Company find Hours until price changes become active and enter your chosen amount of hours
Once future prices have been activated, any price changes made from the products page will be visible by Navigating to Menu > Utilities > Future Prices, prices will automatically be applied once the set amount of hours has been reached. You can also override the scheduled time from the Future Prices page for individual products by selecting Apply or activate all scheduled price changes by selecting Apply All Prices.
