IVUP - PRICE UPDATE

Note: The Price Updates are optional programs. There is a monthly charge if you subscribe to this program. Diskettes with the price increases and new items will be sent at least ten times a year. Install the diskette as per your instructions on the diskette.

Note: After you have installed the diskette for the price updates, you will need to run this program for the new prices to be reflected on your inventory. You MUST have your report printer turned on to run this program. You will get a report of all items on your inventory masterfile that has increased or decreased in price. The price increases will automatically change the retail price on your inventory. The price decreases will be noted on the printout with three asterisks to the right of the item number. The retail price on your inventory will NOT be lowered on price decreases.
