Change State Margins

Use this screen to apply a margin to all stores within a state.  Margins are applied to categories, such as "1200 - Premium Singles", and are based on percentages of the distributor's PTR (Price to Retailer).  Margins can be entered for entire categories or individual UPCs.

Export Note:  Changing a Margin generates a VMP 879 pricing export.

 

Follow these steps:

 

 

From the distribuLink main menu, under VMP:

  1. Click Change State Margins.

  2. Select the desired State.

  3. Locate the product Category.

  4. You can enter a margin for an entire Category, or you can enter margins for individual UPCs within a Category.

Enter margins without a percent sign. For example, enter 6% as 6.  

    • To change a Category margin, simply enter the margin beside it.

    • To enter UPC margins, click the Category, enter the individual margins, and click OK.  Click Yes to confirm.

  1. IMPORTANT: Click Apply.  

  2. Click Yes to confirm.

Notes:  

  • Current margin values do not appear on this screen.

  • Percentages with decimals are rounded to the nearest whole number.

0 through 5 are rounded down, while 6 through 9 are rounded up. For example, 6.5 is rounded down to 6, 6.6 is rounded up to 7.
