Fixed - Fixed Price for a Unique Item + Customer (1st Priority)
Margin - 'Cost Plus' (2nd Priority)
List Discount - Discount off the List/Retail Price (3rd Priority)

■ SPECIAL PRICING
The SPECIAL PRICING menu option is the module that allows you to create
FIXED prices for specific customers. This is accomplished by creating a
database record (for PB.DBF), that contains the ITEM number, the PRICE, and
the CUSTOMER number. DAYO POS 'looks' into this file when displaying this
item information and when computing prices for the invoice.
The DAYO POS priority for determining the price of an item goes FIRST to
FIXED prices in the database PB.DBF.
■ FIXED PRICE EXAMPLE
Example:
You have a customer with a customer number of '1000' and want to insure
that he is always charged a FIXED price of $99.00 for item number '202020'.
Solution:
Find the customer number in this screen by pressing 'F5', or add the
customer number to this file by pressing 'Ctrl N' (select from a browse of
all customers). Note you can not add a customer to the database PB.DBF if
it already exists there...
Find and select item '202020' from the inventory (you may need to press
'F3').
You will next be prompted to enter 99.00 as the FIXED price.
Thats it! Henceforth and forever more (or until you change it), the
default price for item '202020' will be $99.00.
■ SPECIAL PRICING SCREEN
The SPECIAL PRICING SCREEN is a browse of the Price Book database
(PB.DBF). From it you can view or edit existing FIXED prices, or add to the
database.

contains the Price Book records. There are only 3 fields in the DAYO Price
Book database: CUSTOMER, ITEM, and PRICE.
You can edit the records from the browse screen, or by pressing 'F2' to
bring up a full screen edit option...

To remove items from the Price Book database, you need to delete them
(press 'Ctrl U'), then PACK the Price Book database (PB.DBF) utilizing the
MISC Routines. You will then need to reindex PB.DBF to insure the indexes are
corrected.
■ CUSTOMERS
All customers records can be viewed (but not edited/altered) from the
CUSTOMERS browse screen (option 2 from the main menu). To edit the customer
database (CUSTOMER.DBF) requires the use of BROWSE DATABASE option in the
MISC Routines. Note, it is recommended that you do all your customer edits
with DAYO AR (Account Receivable & Customers).

■ PB MARGIN & PB LIST
Of special interest are the 'PB MARGIN', and 'PB LIST' entries/fields.
The PB MARGIN is the margin value ('cost plus'), and the PB LIST is the
discount off list/retail that you wish to apply to all items for the
customer. The ability to edit these entries/fields is accomplished by
pressing 'F2'. Note, this capability can be 'turned off' in the CONFIGURATION
menu option.
DAYO POS pricing priority goes first to any FIXED price, but if no FIXED
price record can be found in the Price Book database (PB.DBF), DAYO POS will
'consider' utilizing the PB MARGIN or PB LIST entries/fields in price
determination. Priority goes to the PB MARGIN (PBM) field if not equal to
zero, then to the PB LIST (PBL) field if it is not equal to zero. If both
fields are empty (equal to zero), then the price in the inventory database
(INV.DBF) will be used.
DAYO Price Book, TJS LAB Page: 10
If you have DAYO Price Book configured to allow the editing of the
PBM/PBL fields (default is to allow editing...), press 'F2' to bring up the
following prompt box:
╔═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ PBM - Price Book Margin PBL - Price Book List ║
║ The Margin takes priority over the List Discount when the ║
║ Margin is not equal to 0. That means that if you want the ║
║ PBL field to determine the price, then make sure PBM=0... ║
║ Note, use 'whole' numbers to determine the values. ║
║ ie: To make a 10 point mark up from cost, set PBM=10.000 ║
║ To make a 25.5% List Discount, set PBL=25.500 ║
║ ║
║ Price Book Margin: 10.000 ║
║ Price Book List Discount: 0.000 ║
╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
■ CONFIGURATION
Press '3' or select the CONFIGURATION option from the main menu to bring

■ REPORTS
Perhaps the greatest feature of DAYO Price Books is its ability to print
a wide variety of price books (catalogs). If you have an HP Laserjet (tm)
printer, you get a special bonus. DAYO Price Books print to either a standard
printer or to a HP Laserjet compatible printer, but the laser version is
complete with lines, shading and different fonts/characters.

■ MISCELLANEOUS ROUTINES
- The MISC routines is a collection of 17 very useful Database Management
Routines. These routines provide you with the 'ability to do whatever was
left out of the rest of the program...'. These routines were modeled after
dBase (tm) III+/IV functions. Familiarity with dBase will help with the
understanding and execution of these routines.
USE WITH CAUTION!
YOU CAN ENHANCE AND CUSTOMIZE YOUR PROGRAM WITH THESE ROUTINES
YOU CAN ALSO MESS THINGS UP PERMANENTLY!

records into a new database or ASCII (SDF and DELIMITED) file. COPY TO can
also be used to create backups of data (EG: copy to floppy).

■ MODIFY DATABASE
- Change the fields/structure of a database. You can add new fields, delete
fields, change the length and type of field in any of the databases. At the
FIELD_NAME field, enter a unique field name. At the FIELD_TYPE field, enter
a 'C' for character, 'N' for numeric, 'D' for Date, 'L' for logical or 'M'
for memofield. At the FIELD_LEN field, enter the size/length of the

■ EXPANDED HELP
After Version 1.3, expanded help routines were added to all DAYO modules.
At almost all prompts and menus you can press F1 for help. Help can be a
function key message as displayed on previous page, a message that you have
created (user defined & inputted), or the ability to read the documentation
on the screen (saves paper).
DAYO Price Book, TJS LAB Page: 47
■ USER DEFINED & INPUTTED HELP SCREENS/MESSAGES
If you press F1 and no user defined & inputted message exists for that
section of the program you are currently in you will receive a message to
this effect, and then a blank/empty screen.
The editing keys for this option are the same as for the Simple Editor
(previous page).

■ DAYO PRICE BOOK MAINTENANCE & QUIRKS
- On occasion (maybe an under statement), index files will get corrupted,
especially on networks. To 'fix' a corrupted index requires that everyone
'get out of' the DAYO databases, and then perform a reindexing (actually a
recreation of the indexes). The reindex is accomplished by running the DAYO
Price Book program with a parameter of 'INDEX' (or using DAYO X).
ie:
C:\>DAYOPB INDEX
- If you are on a multiuser network, you must 'flag' (change file attributes)
of all files to make them sharable, readable and writable. Note that the
command/program 'flag' may be called by a different name on your network.
ie:
E:\>FLAG *.NTX SRW
or just to be safe, go ahead and flag all files in the directory:
E:\>FLAG *.* SRW
DAYO Price Book, TJS LAB Page: 53
- Indexes are recreated once every day. This is automatically performed by the
first user to run DAYO Price Book. This process will take more time as your
files get larger. This process should take place daily, but you can run it
at night with a batch file that waits until after midnight (ie: DAYO Clock),
or a with most scheduling programs. All other users and computers must be
out of the databases, or the procedure will not occur properly. Remember to
'flag' the files sharable, readable and writable.
- Backups of your data and configuration files should take place daily! You
have no doubt heard many scare stories. They are all true! The key files
that need to be backed up all have the extension of .DBF, and .CFG. The
.DBF files are your databases. The .CFG file(s) contain your configuration
information (as seen in the Configuration module).
- If you are on a network, it is NOT recommended that you use dBase III+ with
the databases. It may write an end of file marker not always recognized by
DAYO. Appending additional records to the database after this point often
leads/creates a 'bad record' in the database.
- If you must use dBase with DAYO Price Book, be sure to SET EXCLUSIVE OFF
before you open ANY databases. This will allow the opened databases to be
shared, and more importantly, prevent a user (or all users!) from
'crashing'!
- If the SIMPLE EDITOR tends to 'hang' your CPU, even on small files, then
do not use it... Hope to fix this 'feature' with the next upgrade...
