The Bizz Wizz Price Book is made up of Pricing Files. You can have one Price File or you can have several. The Part Prices can be grouped. For example if you were a plumber, you could have copper pipes in one file and sinks in another.

Each file holds up to 15000 items. Each one of these files can be updated and used in several different ways. On the main screen of the Bizz Wizz Price Book, we have 15 main buttons.


Main Button  Open File. Will list all part in this file.
This can be selected by one of several different methods.
1. You can click on the button.
2. You can use the Tab Key to tab to the button and then press Enter.
3. Highlight the file to load and press enter.
4. Double click on the file name.
OR
The letter with the dash under it can be pressed by holding down the ALT Key and pressing that letter.
The Open File button allows you to look at the contents of the file. It also allows you to select parts for invoices or for editing of parts.
If the file is empty it will automatically bring up the Record Input box. Please refer to Add A New Record within the manual for help on this section. Once you have parts within the list, then you can exit the Input box and view the files on the screen.


Main Button New File.

The new file button when clicked, allows you to create a new file. All files have an extension name of "PB1" that cannot be changed. Once you have selected this button, type in the name for the new file using only alphabetical letters and maybe numbers, not leaving any spaces or using punctuation.
Once you have typed in the new name, you will be prompted to type in a description of the Price File. In here you can type a brief description of what is actually in this file. If it is a file of different types of computers, you could type in, "This file contains different types of computers."
Once you have put in your description you have 3 (three) option buttons. To select the options, click on the Check Box. This is called checking the box.

The First option is whether or not you must have stock to select an item to transfer it onto an Invoice. If the box is checked, it means that all the items in this file must have an amount of stock before you can select them. So if there is only one in stock, you cannot select two. It won't let you because of stock control.

The second check box allows you to have stock amounts in negative figures if checked. Negative amounts may upset stock values. So it is recommended that to keep track of stock values, you need to set up stock parts. This is so that the stock is not totalled on parts that don't have stock but that you do put on an Invoice from time to time. To do this you need to set the Add Value of field to No in the part record section when adding a new part.

The third check box allows for sorting your files in a particular order. Files are sorted in alpha-numerical order. You can sort on the part number or the description. By checking the box it will sort on description and not the part number and then click 'OK' when completed or 'EXIT' to abort.

These Setups apply to ALL Files
Check barcode scan number before selecting item. This will not let you select a part unless the number you typed in is the same as the part number it has been barcoded to.


Do not ask for quantity on Invoicing selection. This will set the quantity to 1 automatically.

List not found items on screen. This will list errors on screen if you are using barcoding away from the computer so they can be fixed later.

Disable Sound. This will disable the sound in the price book.


Main  Button Configure File.
This is used when you wish to edit the contents of the file name or the setup.

First you must highlight the name of the file in the Price List box to indicate which file you wish to re-configure or rename. Then click on the button and then you can change the configuration within the box. Please refer to New File above for information on contents of the configuration box as it is the same box. Press 'OK' to accept changes or 'EXIT' to abort changes.

Delete File option

This brings up a warning asking whether you want to delete the file. The file that will be deleted will be the one that you have highlighted in the file name list box. Press 'OK' to continue or 'CANCEL' to abort the deletion.

Change Category option
Will let you change the category on all parts in the file that have the OLD number to have a NEW number. Press Change to do the change.

Optimize File
option
Will load and sort the file then save in the sorted format back to file. This will speed up the loading of large files.
NOTE : only use if your Files load slow or over 5000 records in the file.

Vary Markup option

This button is used for changing the markup rates on parts. The three markups can be changed one at a time and only one percentage at a time. First type in the percentage that you wish to change eg. 33 . Then type in the percentage you wish to change it too eg. 40 then click on the markup type wholesale trade or retail to change. The changes will take place in all the highlighted files in the file list.

Vary Tax option
This button allows you to vary the tax in selected files. In this mode you can also use the multi select function from the list. Hold the control key down and select the files in which you wish to have the tax changed.


 

Once files have been selected, click on the Vary Tax button and it will ask you for the existing tax percentage. This is so all records are not changed, only the ones with that tax percentage. Once you have typed in the tax percentage you want to change click 'TAX' and you will then be asked for the tax rate you wish the percentage to change to. Enter the tax rate for example 10%. You must only type in the numbers not the percent sign. Press OK. Then all items within those highlighted files with the existing tax percentage will be updated to 10%. This function is to allow for government tax changes. When changing Parts to be GST compliant, you may need to adjust how tax is applied to your parts. For GST, most parts should be set for "Set Tax after markup". Click Set Tax after markup to change all applicable parts to this setting.

Update Files option
This will allow to update the prices in one file only. This is the highlighted file. So highlight the file you wish to update then click on Update File. Update File will then ask you for the percent you wish to update all prices within that file by. This only affects the buying price. If the buying price is $100 and you type in 15%, the buying price will change to $115. The 15% will be added to all parts buying prices within that file.

Update Part option
This allows you to update the parts within the file by just viewing the file and clicking on the one you want to update. When you click on this button, it will ask you for the percentage you want to update the file by. It will then load the file list screen so you can look at all the parts. The easiest way to update a particular part is to highlight the part and press enter or double click on that part. It will be updated from whatever the percentage was.
You can also press Select instead of double clicking or arrow down and press enter on the highlighted part. Once you have finished updating your parts, you must return to the main menu to cancel the update mode.

Reset Stock option
This will allow you to reset your Stock figures to zero. This is done to refresh stock total so a stock take starts at 0 or when ever you wish. It is recommended to print your Stock Totals before resetting stock to 0.

You select the files you wish to reset. This way all files do not have to be reset.
To select files, hold down the control key and click on the files you wish to be reset in the price files list box. Then click the Reset Sales Button and all sales figures in highlighted files will be reset to zero.

'Copy 1 by 1' to continue, or `EXIT' to abort. Double clicking the file would be the same as clicking 'Copy 1 by 1'. This will bring you into the list screen and you can then select the items within the list screen that you wish to copy to the other file.

When you select the item, the Quantity Input box will appear.

Type in the quantity you wish to copy to the other file and it will copy those parts into the other file. It will leave the original record in the file and just reduce the stock. The sales quantities and sales amounts will not be transferred. They will remain in the file that the data was copied from. If you wish to copy a record, and sales figures are not important, you may copy and then go back and delete the record. However, a record can be copied to another file with sales figures, by deleting the record and then going into another file and un-deleting it. However, each record can only be copied one at a time if using the delete and undelete method.

Barcode-scanning or entering a Part No and pressing [ENTER] will open the Change Part window. However, the stock field will show the current stock, just type in the amount to be added or barcode scan the amount and it will automatically add to the stock. For example if you currently have 9 parts in stock and you enter 3 into the box, after the Change Part window is closed the total number of parts will be 12.
