Browser - Settings: Multiple Inventory Pricing Schedule
Multiple Inventory Pricing Schedule is where you set up time-based pricing rules — happy hour, day-of-week pricing, weekend specials, seasonal promotions, member-only windows. Instead of editing every item individually, you define a schedule with a date range, time window, days of the week, and a price adjustment that applies to a specific scope (department, category, single product, or member class).
Step-by-Step: Get to Multiple Inventory Pricing Schedule
Step 1: Settings → Inventory Center.
Step 2: Click the Multiple Inventory Pricing Schedule tab (the 6th tab).
Step 3: The page opens with a list of existing schedules. If you haven't created any, the table will be empty.
Step-by-Step: Add a new pricing schedule
Step 1: Click ADD ITEM (top-right, green).
Step 2: A side panel opens with the Add Multiple Inventory Pricing Schedule form. Fill in:
- Title — a name you'll recognize later ("Friday Happy Hour")
- Department, Sub Department, Category — the broader scope
- Product — set this only if the schedule applies to a single specific item
- Class Type — set this if the schedule is restricted to a member class
- Start Date and End Date — the date range
- Start Time and End Time — the time-of-day window
- Value Type — see the 5 options below
- Value Amount — the value of the rule (the meaning depends on Value Type)
- Day of the Week — check Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun (any combination)
Step 3: Click Save (green) to create the schedule, or Close (red outline) to discard.
What the 5 Value Types do
- Decrease Rate Percent — knock a percentage off the base price (20% off). Value Amount = the percent.
- Increase Rate Percent — add a percentage on top of the base price (15% surge). Value Amount = the percent.
- Decrease Rate Fixed Amount — subtract a flat dollar amount ($5 off). Value Amount = the dollars.
- Increase Rate Fixed Amount — add a flat dollar amount ($3 markup). Value Amount = the dollars.
- Flat Rate — set the price to a specific amount, regardless of the base price. Value Amount = the new price.
TIP: Use Flat Rate when you want "all draft beers $5 during happy hour" regardless of their normal prices. Use Decrease Rate Percent when you want "20% off all merchandise this weekend."
Scoping the schedule
The form lets you scope the rule narrowly or broadly:
- Department only — applies to all items in that department
- Department + Sub Department — narrower
- Department + Sub Department + Category — narrower still
- Add a Product — applies only to that single item
- Add a Class Type — restricts to a specific member class
Combine these to build precise rules (e.g., "Members only, Pro Shop department, Saturday and Sunday, 15% off").
What's in the schedule list
The main table shows each schedule with these columns:
- Id | Title | Start Date | End Date | Start Time | End Time | ValueType | ValueAmount | Day of the Week | Action
Use the Action column to edit or delete a schedule.
Who uses this and when
F&B managers, inventory administrators, anyone running promotions or time-based pricing. Use it for happy hour, weekend specials, seasonal promotions, or any pricing rule that affects a group of items rather than one item at a time.
