With the Catalog Sorting Tool for Actinic Ecommerce you can sort your products and sections within your shop.
This program allows you to analyse the profit from your Actinic shop's sales and manage the Retail price of your shop items, based upon their actual cost price.
The profit from your shop can be seen for specific products and as an overall profit over a defined period of time.
The pricing pricing tools can be very useful if you want to sell the items in your shop for a fixed markup, for example of 15%. You can also set a range of products to a new price. You can also set the price of several items at the same time. This can be useful if a new item has arrived in your shop at a new cost price to you. You can easily set this price in all of the areas of your shop where it is sold.
To view your shop's profit select the date range in the Profit Report area. Select the date range or to select all orders untick the From and To date fields. You can then print to the default printer by pressing the Print button or to preview the information click on the Preview button.
If you want to show all the order details that make up the profit tick Detailed Profit Report.
If you only want a summary select Summary Profit Report. You can also view the total amount that you have spent on shipping. To do this tick the Shipping Charges Report option (and click on, either Print or Preview).
You can print or preview a report that shows the Retail prices and cost prices.
You can enter the cost prices of your products by using a spreadsheet, using a fixed percentage (based upon the retail price) or a fixed price.
Before selecting the cost pricing type you should select the products that you want to update the cost prices for. To do this tick a section of products or sub-section in the displayed product tree.
Using a percentage
This option is very useful if the selected products sold in your shop all have a standard mark-up price.
Select the Sale price minus option. Enter a percentage that will be used to decrease the retail price to calculate the cost price. For example, if the retail price is £56, entering 15% will calculate the cost price as £47.60.
Using a fixed price
If you buy products or groups of products for a fixed price, but sell them at different prices use this option.
Select the Set to option. Type in a value. You should enter the value in you primary Actinic currency. For example, to enter £192.42, type in 192.42.
NOTE: To enter the prices of components they must be associated with a product.
When you select products you can choose to select single items or automatically check (or uncheck) the relevant parent and child sections (and products). To automatically select the additional sections of the tree check Automatically check sub-sections.
