Many of the data fields in the Supertrack inventory form can be hidden or omitted. Check the boxes that correspond to the fields you want to display. This way, you can customize the Supertrack inventory form to suit the needs of your business, or to simply make data entry easier.
Hiding a field where you have previously made an entry does NOT delete any data. However, it will prevent you from entering data in those fields on future Supertrack inventory items. |
Price levels are designed to help you establish different prices for your Supertrack items. Eight different price levels are available for use. This area is used to define the names for the price levels used. Leave the levels blank which are not used.
Price Levels can be used in two ways:
1) All customers are assigned a class code in the program. Each class code can be set for a particular price level. This will cause the customer to automatically be priced at the appropriate level.
2) A price level can be selected on an individual invoice to set the prices for that invoice. This must be done prior to entering any items on the invoice, as selecting a new price level erases all items already on the invoice. Price levels cannot be changed on pre-filled invoices.
