Inventory markup used to be markup over standard cost in both the base price list and the alternate price list. Therefore if standard cost was zero, the markup would represent the total price.
Now the price is being calculated as markup over actual cost in the base price list and markup over standard cost in the alternate price lists.
Is this an intentional change? Is there an option?

Hi Kate,

We changed this in version 81A because many other clients wanted it to work this way, and indicated that Markup pricing based on Standard Cost = 0.00 was a bug. If the Standard Cost of an item is 0.00, markup pricing now gets moved to an increase over the Most Recent Cost.

This is how a different DOS-based OE works. There is no option, though we can forward the possibility of an option to development.

As a workaround, you could set the Standard Cost to any non-zero amount (say 0.01), and decrease the markup amounts by that value. Then you would get the same results and no option is required.

Is there any option to have markup calculated on average inventory cost. In the case where the last cost was $10 and the new cost is $15. There average may $12.5. With markup on recent cost the price increase is quite high.

Hello CPS,

The easiest way to do this would be to export the Item number, description, base price and average cost and calculate a new base price in Excel. You'd then import the new base price.

I think there is room for imnprovement in the different ways we allow you to update pricing.

Happy New Year!
