Price Update
The inventory price update is an optional feature available for Bookstore Manager users. New items and price changes are added to BSMGR database and price changes on items in your inventory are changed if the price has increased. Prices on items in your inventory are not decreased if the price has decreased. The price update is sent to you at least ten times a year. It provides a report of the price increases and decreases reported from various vendors. The price increases for those items in your inventory are automatically changed. It is your decision to change the items with price decreases. You will receive a print out of items with price changes on your inventory. An asterisk will be printed by items that have gone down in price. The price will not be lowered.
