Operations Menu - Goods Receipt - Update Prices
This page describes the 'Update Prices' function on the
Operations menu in the Goods Receipt record window. If you are using iOS or Android, the 'Update Prices' function is on the Tools menu (with 'wrench' icon).
---
The 'Update Prices' function allows you to update the Cost Prices of the Items listed in the Goods Receipt that you are viewing. You can also use the function to update the Prices of the Items in specified Price Lists.
The function will copy the Cost Price in each row to the Cost Price field on the 'Costs' card of each relevant Item record. Cost Prices for Purchase Items will not be affected by this function: you can update these using the 'Update Purchase Items' Maintenance function in the Purchase Orders module.
You should only use the function from a Goods Receipt after you have saved it. You don't need to have marked the Goods Receipt as OK.
Selecting the 'Update Prices' function from the Operations menu (Windows/macOS) or Tools menu (iOS/Android) in a Goods Receipt will open the dialogue box shown below. Complete it as described and click the [Run] button in the Button Bar. Price changes will then be made, as directed.

- Goods Receipt
- This field provides a reminder of the number of the Goods Receipt from where the changed prices will be taken. It cannot be changed.

- If you need the Prices in a particular Price List to be recalculated by the function, specify that Price List here and ensure the Do not update price lists option below is not selected. You can also specify a range of Price Lists separated by a colon (:). If you leave this field blank and do not select the Do not update price lists option, all Price Lists that include Items on the Goods Receipt will be affected.
- If you have not selected the Do not update price lists option, this function will recalculate Prices by running the 'Calculate Prices' Maintenance function in the Pricing module for the specified Price List(s), but only for the Items listed in the Goods Receipt. All Prices will be updated, not just those that are that are calculated by adding a margin to the Items' Cost Prices.

Leave the field blank if you need every Item on the Goods Receipt to be updated.
