The Base Price Changes Setting

This setting, available in the Stock module, allows you to change the Base Prices of many Items at one stroke.

To open the setting, move to the Stock module using the Modules menu and click the [Settings] button in the Master Control panel (or choose 'Settings' from the File menu). When the 'Settings' list is opened, double-click 'Base Price Changes'. The 'Base Price Changes: Browse' window is displayed, showing previous Base Price Change records.

Create a new record by clicking the [New] button in the Button Bar, or highlight an existing record that is similar to the one you want to create and click the [Duplicate] button.

The unique identifying number of a new Base Price Change record is provided automatically by Hansa following on from the Number of the last record entered.
When you start using Hansa, the number sequence will start at 1. If you want the sequence to start from another number, change the Number of the first or any other record before it is saved for the first time: Hansa will then continue the sequence from there.
