Product ranking is a means of categorizing products by quantity sold over time. Checking the results of the last time the Product Ranking program was run for a product's price line helps you maintain accurate product pricing. The system calculates ranks, but you can manually change product ranking for any of your branches when necessary.
For example, a customer purchased a large volume of a D-ranked product in one day, turning the product into an A-ranked product. You can manually change the rank back to D to reflect the product's true sales volume.
To change product ranking:
From the Maintenance menu, select Product to display the Product Maintenance window.
In the Product field, enter a product ID to display the product record.
Select Pricing to display the Product Price Maintenance dialog box.
Select Pricing >Ranks to display the Rank Maintenance dialog box.
In the Branch/Territory/All field, enter a branch or enter All to view results for all accessible branches.
The Rank #1 through Rank #5 columns show the product's current rank and the ranking method assigned to this rank number when the Product Ranking program for this product's price line was last run.
To change a rank, select the Rank # column for the branch you want to change, and enter the new rank.
Note: Access the Ranking window for the products in a price line from the Price Line Maintenance window (Maintenance > Price Maintenance > Price Line >Ranking). If a product's rank is not what you expected rerun the price line ranking to update the report. The last-run ranking date displays on the Ranking window.
