AMSHub features a powerful tool for managing the price you pay – or paid – for items currently in Inventory or used from Inventory in the past. Using our Item Price management tool gives you nearly unlimited control of inventory prices over time.
To launch the Item Price manager, go to the desired item and view it in Edit mode. Clicking the Contract Price will launch the tool automatically. You’ll be presented with numerous options for how you want a price change to be implemented. You can now update just items from certain old orders, you can update all old items, you can update future items only, etc.
You can also update just item prices on a particular PO and just Update the Prices that are attached to a particular PO number. **(If you are part of a Group and items have been transferred between facilities, you will need to update the price of the item using the PO where the item was initially added to inventory at the original facility, which will in turn update it through the life of the item in AMSHub).
Spend some time reviewing each of the options before making changes. Please remember that changes to old item data will impact all of your old case costing, reporting and analytics data as well, so be very certain about making changes to the prices of items in the past.
Updating Item Instances With No Price
For facilities that begin managing and using Inventory items before they get their item pricing in place, you can update item pricing on used items or items still on shelves that still have no price set. This is a powerful feature that can update months or years worth of data with a few clicks. Because of the potential breadth of changes using this feature, access is limited to only Facility, Site, or Tech Admin users. If your facility needs to be able to update items currently in inventory, or items that have already been used, that have no current price set, you can go to Inventory > Edit All, and click the red $ button next to the Price column header. This will open the confirmation popup window that restates what will be done if you choose to have AMSHub complete this action. It’s imperative to read through the information provided and understand exactly what AMSHub will do. This action cannot be undone and every item in your current or past inventory that has no price or a price of $0 will be updated to the current contract price for that item.
Bulk Price Editing
You can also bulk edit inventory item prices, but this should only be used when you need to change current contract prices for items and only want that price change to affect just new items ordered and received. Access this feature from main Inventory > Edit All.
**Please use extreme caution when editing item prices – particularly the prices of items used in the past – as this can have far-reaching implications for Reports and Analytics.
