Price Change Report

Price Change Report

Price Change Report Overview

The Price Change Report will display the changes in the price of the product(s) with a date and time stamp. The only difference is that this particular report type will display the changes in the price of each product, and NOT the changes in the cost of each product. The system will display the records of price changes for products only for the specifically selected date range. The system will also display the UPC, product name, pricebook zone name, old price value, new price value, date, and time stamp when the old price was changed to the new, and the employee’s name who changed the price for a particular product.
