Setting Up Station Item Attributes

The station attributes are available if you have switched to the station level in the Item Setup form.

You can configure the following station attributes for an item:

• Current Retail: The current retail for the item at the station. It can be changed manually if not set in the price group to which the item belongs.
• Fix Current Retail: Select this check box to fix the retail so that it cannot be overridden.

Please note that even if the Fix Current Retail option is selected, there is a case when it does not apply and item retail is still overridden. If the item is included into the price group and the price group's retail is updated with the Ignore fixed retails option selected. For more information, see Editing Price Group Retails.

• Recommended Retail: The purchase price recommended by the head office account owner.
• Max Retail: The greatest possible retail price.
• Min Retail: The least possible retail price.

  The Recommended Retail, Max Retail and Min Retail settings are permission-based. To check user's permissions, go to Settings > General > Roles. For details, see Managing Roles.

  When you are changing the item retail in bulk from other forms, make sure a new value is within the Max Retail and Min Retail values specified in the Item Setup form.

• Sales Tax: If the department to which the item belongs is taxable, this field will have the Taxed value.
• Minimum Stock: The minimum of the item remaining in stock before it will be automatically reordered.
