Mix-and-Match Codes are a way to allow contract, special, or promotional pricing to calculate the discount across multiple line items when completing a ticket. Mix-and-Match Codes are easy to assign in the price rules, but they also need to be assigned to all items that fall into those rules.
Counterpoint offers two options for assigning Mix-and-Match Codes:
- Assign to individual items using the Item Maintenance Window
- Assign to multiple items using the Assign Mix-and-Match Codes utility
Assigning Mix-and-Match Codes to Individual Items
- From the Launchpad, select INVENTORY → ITEMS
- Enter, scan, or look up the item
- Click the Magnifying Glass
next to Mix-and-match code - Choose a Mix-and-match code from the lookup
- Click OK
- Click Save
- Repeat steps 2-6 for all items that are included in the Mix-and-Match price group
Assigning Mix-and-Match Codes to Individual Items
To use the Assign Mix-and-Match Codes Utility to its full advantage, the group of items must have something in common. This does not mean that the commonality must be related to only one field. For example, you might have peanuts that you might sell 1 for $0.69 and 2 for $1.09. They might all come from the same vendor, so you could use a filter like Primary Vendor is X, Price-1 is 0.69, and Description contains Peanuts.
