In order to use the Price By panel, you must have at least one row in the Option / Phase / BOM grid highlighted (note: you can highlight as many options, phases or BOMs as necessary and the Price By will be used to change all parts in the selected items). In the example below I have highlighted the entire option.
Once you have highlighted your selection click on the "Price By" button located in the upper toolbar of the BOM module.
You can now select either to Price By Parts Category, Product Type, MFG Code, Product Line or Manufacturer. MFG Code is one of the most chosen methods when pricing furniture and Product Type the second most chosen method as you can adjust even labor, design, project management, etc. (items typically that do not have an MFG Code assigned) globally using this option.
At this point you can adjust the MFG Discount, Margin, Sales Tax Rate, etc. by placing your cursor directly in the necessary field and making the necessary change(s). In all but the Total Cost, Total List, Total Sale, Profit and Tax you can type new values then press the TAB key on your keyboard to commit the change. You can even use slashes to delineate each tier of the discount in the MFG Disc field (i.e. 50/20/10) then press the TAB key on your keyboard to commit the change.
TIP: You can also right click on one or more rows in the Price By Product grid and change the vendor by finding the new vendor in the "Set Vendor" drop down list box and clicking the "Set Vendor" button.
