Pricing Paper

Overview

This topic describes how to get ready to price in-stock paper, one of the four paper categories available in Morning Flight. As the name suggests, in-stock paper is any paper you keep in inventory, or can get your hands on fairly quickly.

More important from a pricing perspective, in-stock is the only paper of which Morning Flight let's you sell a broken ream or a partial box of envelopes. No vendor will sell you half a box, so the assumption is that you're willing to put left-overs back on the shelf, waiting for the next customer to come in. That makes it an in-stock shelf item.

1.	Click the My Store button, then enter your markup rates for each category:

•	in-Stock for paper you keep on hand.

•	to-Order for buy-as-needed paper, PaperShop paper, and special order paper.

•	Blank for unprinted blank sheets or envelopes.

Check the CommonSense Pricing box if you want the program to jump quantity brackets whenever it makes sense to do so.

Say a customer orders 4,500 letterheads. You're charging $18.00 per 1,000 sheets in the less than 5,000 sheet bracket, and $15.00 if the customer orders 5,000 sheets or more. With the box unchecked, the paper bill comes to $81.00 for 4,500 sheets. Had the customer ordered 5,000 letterheads, the bill would have been only $75.00. Turn on CommonSense Pricing, and Morning Flight will charge $75.00 instead of $81.00. The order quantity, of course, will stay at 4,500.

3.	Click the My in-Stock Paper button to price individual paper items.
