Update the EPOS Price List using the EPOS Utility Price List
The EPOS Utility Price List allows the user to create alternative pricing, for example for a shop promotion and apply the prices instantly. For example this could be very useful if you had to specify 500 alternative prices for a shop sale but you did not want to stay up all Sunday night updating the core EPOS Price list. Updating the Utility EPOS Price List then copying it across to the core EPOS Price list would allow you to spend as long as it takes updating all prices. For information about copying a price list see Using the Copy Price List Button to Set Up Future Prices.
Once the Sale or EPOS promotion is finished then simply delete all the relevant items from the core EPOS Price List. To do this:
- Open a Promotion screen

[ Promotions | Price Lists | Stock Item / Price List ]
or[ Promotions | Price Lists | Stock Type / Price List ]

- Select all the stock line that require deleting.
- Press Ctrl+Del or click to delete the selected item.
