SECTION 3.5.1.5 - DUPLICATE
A SPECIAL PRICE
USAGE: To copy a Special Pricing
structure from one Debtor to another. If you have entered several special prices
for a Debtor and then wish to give another Debtor the same prices, you do not
have to re-enter the prices one-by-one. This function can duplicate the whole
structure to the second Debtor.
Discussion: When you enter the program, you are asked for a Debtor
code. This must relate to a Debtor that has at least one Special Price
attached. If you wish to search for a Debtor code, press <F9>.
Next you will be asked to enter the code of the
second Debtor. Again you can use <F9> to search. The “to” Debtor
must not be the same as the “from” Debtor.
Before proceeding, HiFinance will check the “to”
Debtor. If that Debtor already has Special Pricing, you will be given the
choice of clear any existing links before duplicating the “from” structure. If
you answer N, you will be asked if you
wish to overwrite any existing records. If you answer N, HiFinance will copy the existing structure except where it finds an
existing record attached to the “to” Debtor. If you answer Y, the duplication will overwrite any structure it finds. This
combination of questions allows you complete control over whether the DUPLICATE program will create a new
structure, overwrite the old one or add to the old one. If this is confusing,
it is recommended that you backup your data and try a few combinations.
Finally, you are asked to confirm your choices and
the program will begin the duplication process. When complete, you will be
returned to the start of the program where you can either enter another Debtor
code or press <ESC> to return to the SPECIAL PRICES MENU.
