How do I fix an item to be on Sale so that the first 3 items ring up at the
Sale Price, and the rest of the items ring up at the Regular Price? In other
words I am putting an item on sale with a Limit of only 3 items at the Sale
Price, If a customer wants to purchase additional product, They will be
charged the regular price. I have tried the buydown price with a quantity of
3 entered, but it doesn't seem to work.

As you notice, I have already tried the Buydown Price and Buydown Quantity on
the pricing screen. I have restarted the POS terminal, and changed the Price
Calculation in the configuration tab to Prioritize in order of Qty Discount
etc. without any luck, each time, restarting the POS terminal. Any help will
be appreciated.

Can anyone help me?
I would like to know if it is possible to limit the number of items a
single person can buy at the sale price, at least rung up at the same time.
Ideally, the customer could buy the limit at the sale price, then the
additional items he buys will ring up at the regular price. Then the next
customer could do the same, etc. I have figured out a way around this
problem, but it is not automatic. My cashiers must key in a seperate scan
code for the sale item, and manually only sell 3 at the sale price, then ring
up the remainder with the regular scan, but this is not what I would expect
from microsoft. RMS is a classy system, and should be able to accompolish
this small feat. Maybe I have a setting wrong in my system, like maybe an
item type, or something in the configuration, I don't know. Many major
retailers advertize Limits on their sale items. How do they do it? I am
hopeful that RMS can do this, I just have to know the details.

Help!

Kent,
Buydown would not work for you anyways. That gives you a quantity, to sell
at the buydown price, and that is open for all transactions. Lets say you
put 10 in the buydown quantity. It does not matter who, or how many items a
customer orders, the first 10 sold to anyone would be sold at the buydown
price. This is not what you are looking for, if I am reading you correctly.

I'm fairly confident that the only way to accomplish what you are looking
for is through customization. Something that would recognize that X number
of item Y has been rung up on a single transaction at sale price, then would
start charging regular price instead. If you are interested in a
no-obligation estimate to explore what this may cost I would be happy to
provide one, just give me a call or drop me an email and we will see what we
can do for you.

Hello Kent,

I also have a non-functioning "Buydown" option here. Has anyone responded
with an explanation regarding the failure of this option to work?

Tnx,

MillCreek
