PTC Calculator

Use the PTC Calculator to calculate the PTC (Price to Consumer) of an item based on the distributor's PTR (Price to Retailer) and the margin set up for a store.  A "sanity" check is performed automatically to ensure the PTC falls within the minimum/maximum markup allowed.

Follow these steps:

 

  1. Choose the Item

  2. Choose the Store

  3. Calculate the PTC

A.

Choose the Item

From the Vendor Managed Pricing tab, under Research:

  1. Click PTC Calculator.

  2. Enter Item Look Up criteria.

The item must be authorized in the store to be chosen in following steps.  This allows the application to perform a minimum/maximum markup validation.

Note: If a choice is made in one field, the other fields update to match.  For example, if a Brand is selected, the Packaging list provides choices only for that Brand.

UPC - Enter the UPC without dashes. The default is UPCA format 5-5 (10 digits).  Click the link to change the format, if needed.

Brand - Select the brand.

Packaging - Select the container, such as Keg or Can.

Pack - Select how the item is bundled.  

  1. Click Choose.

  2. Select the Item.
