Mass Product Changes

The Mass Product Changes form has two functions. One is to make product changes to a selected group of products. The second is to create a sales batch for the product price changes. For example, the vendor has a Price increase of 2% for his entire line of products. Another example is that the store owner wants to create a sales batch to reduce the price and move all the items in the seasonal candy section.

NOTE: Use care when applying any changes. The changes are applied for the entire product group or section, and cannot be reversed. To view existing attributes for a product double click on the product from the list box at the bottom of the screen.

From the Select Products section, make a selection from the first Column. You can select from Description, UPC, Prices, Departments, Sections, Vendors, Others, or Ad Batches and other criteria from the drop-down list. Further filter your selection by selecting other criteria from the Column.
After making your selections, press the Find Button. The items will be displayed in the grid on the bottom of the form.
The screen is divided into five sections. Select from one of the five.
