2024    Gift Database import parameters

For BSMGR users who have a Quest system or purchase the extended CB&M database, there are choices that can be made to determine how CB&M’s gift database sets up titles within the BSMGR user’s inventory title base file.  Note the following screen:

These options give the BSMGR user flexibility in determining what portion of the gift database will be transferred into the users inventory file on initial title setup (IVM), database comparisons (IVDC) or price changes (IVDC).

Additional information can now also be added to the “Misc.” field in IVM.

For some items in the gift database, the manufacturers don’t have established retail prices.  CB&M is only provided wholesale information.  By default, BSMGR will display these products to IVDI at a 2.0 markup.  You can override that setting with the “Markup” field shown in #2024.
