What is the Scheduled Retail Module?
Scheduled Retail
We’ve also made improvements to the Scheduled Retail module (formerly Schedule Retail Changes).
The new SKUs column in the Scheduled Retail list displays the number of SKUs being affected by the schedule.
Scheduled Retail Changes can now be copied for quicker setup. Use the Create New Schedule Based On button in the Schedule Retail list, which will copy the same items, starting and ending retail, and description. From there, change the description, add or remove items, and change prices as desired before saving and closing.
Within the editor, the changes are similar to those in the Item Editor’s Retail Price Changes tab:
- Revert back will be the date the retail prices change back to what they were prior to the scheduled retail change.
- Scheduled Retails are now set by date only and not by specific time.
- Dates on new scheduled must be in the future; they cannot be back-dated.
- Any changes set to a date that has already passed cannot be edited.
- Once saved, Schedules will now appear in the individual items’ Item Editor’s Retail Price Changes tab.
Previously to 367, Yellow Dog Inventory did not offer the feature to copy an existing scheduled retail change. Below you will find a work around for versions prior to 367 and a few other helpful tips.
Scenario:
I markdown 100 items by 10%.
Two weeks later, I want to mark down any of the remaining items by 20%
Four weeks later, I want to mark down any of the remaining items by 30%.
Six weeks later, I want to mark down any of the remaining item by 40% and keep them at that price until they sell out.
The workaround is to make changes to the same schedule as you go along.
There are limitations to this, though:
- You cannot edit the start time of a schedule while it is in progress (before the scheduled end time) in order to try to schedule ahead. This will cause the item to revert to its regular price until the new start time.
- Users must wait until the end of the current schedule, then edit it to start a new one using the same items.but th
- Editing schedules overwrites them completely, so you lose any record of the original or previous schedule(s).
- To re-use a Scheduled Retail change that has already ended, you must change the Start Time to the following day and update the new end date of the sale.
Additional Scheduled Retail-Related Features
With the other enhancements we’ve been making to Scheduled Retail, we’ve also added the ability to open the Scheduled Retail editor from within a PO, Receipt, or Invoice. Use the Schedule Price Change button in those document editors to launch the editor, then select items and create a new Scheduled Retail.
In v368, we created the new Lists \ Scheduled Retail report to show all items with retail changes scheduled to start within the selected date range in the selected store. Note that this report can be filtered to hide items with zero on hand.
