Price in price schedule window
Price in price schedule window

The Price in price schedule and Prices in price schedule windows are used for editing the menu item's price and availability in selected intervals.

These windows can be opened from the context menu of the Price schedule panel when one or more price interval cells are highlighted.

The window for editing scheduled prices is opened via the Edit command.

If one price interval cell is highlighted, the Price in price schedule editor window opens.

Editor window fields:

  • Price schedule is the name of the price schedule to which the price interval belongs. This field is read-only.

    The field contains the name of the price schedule that specifies the timetable of the price application.

  • Interval denotes the time interval during which the price applies. This field is read-only.

    This field indicates the time intervals during which the specified price applies or during which the menu item is excluded from sale.

  • Price is the menu item price during the price interval. This is a required field.

    The drop-down list contains the following options:

    • Enter value – this option enables the field for data entry (switches to data entry mode).

      The Enter value option enables entry of a sale price for the menu item during the selected time interval.

    • Not for sale – when this option is selected, Not for sale will be displayed in the selected cell of the price schedule.

      As a result, the menu items with prices determined in the price schedule are made available for sale within the specified time intervals.

    • Base price indicates the price of the menu item.

      Within the selected time interval the menu item is offered at the price specified in the Price field of the Properties panel in the menu item window.

    The menu item price set for a price schedule interval is the selling price without any discounts or markups. This price is valid only during this time interval. This price can be either the same as the base price (specified for the menu item in the Properties panel) or vary from it to any degree.

Click OK to save data. Selecting Cancel will close the window without saving data.

The window for editing multiple price intervals opens when two or more price intervals are selected in the price intervals data grid. Price intervals from the same price schedule can be selected simultaneously, even if they apply to different menu items.

In this case, a panel with a list of the selected price intervals is added to the multiple price editor window.

The fields are similar to those in the Price in price schedule editor window.

When multiple menu item prices are selected for editing, any changes that are saved will be applied to all of the selected menu items in the selected intervals.
