The Multi Row Changes button in Contracts Maintenance has a new option.
At contract review time, use Multi Row Changes button and select L – Update Cost Plus With New Cost in Contracts Maintenance screen. Sympac reloads the current cost for each Cost Plus and Fixed Cost Plus line using that line’s selected Cost Used setting.
The New Cost, New Price and New GP% columns update so you can compare the current price with the proposed price before saving.
Nothing changes until you select Save. If the proposed pricing is not right, close the contract without saving.
Once saved, the held Fixed Cost Plus price is used consistently at Point of Sale, in order entry, Customer and Contract Price Listings, Price Trace and Re-Price Document.
Existing Cost Plus, Fixed Price, Price Less and Price Plus contract lines continue to work exactly as they do today.

Sympac checks for due future prices once a day after End of Day has run. You can also use Activate to apply prices that are due now.
When a price is applied, Sympac updates the product retail price and buy cost, as well as the supplier cost record. Where shelf labels are set up and stock is on hand, the new sell price is sent to the label queue in the usual way.
Fixed Cost Plus and Future Pricing work together to help you manage supplier changes and customer pricing in the right order:
This means future cost changes do not flow automatically to Fixed Cost Plus customers. You stay in control of when contract prices are reviewed and changed.
Future Pricing updates the product file. It does not automatically change a Fixed Cost Plus customer contract. You decide when to review the contract price, giving you time to check the changes and communicate with your customer.

The Qty Method field is now included in Customer and Global contract import/export files and in the Table Magic contract layout. This means quantity-break pricing can be included when contracts are imported or updated through Table Magic.
Contract price lists now show quantity-break pricing, making it easier for customers to see the prices available at higher quantities.
Where more than one contract applies to a product, the Customer Price List report now shows one line at the correct, lowest contracted price — matching the price charged at POS.
