| <span style="color: #003366">**PROBLEM:**</span> | Product "ABC" is in a promotion with a special cost of $125.00 and promotional sell of $162.73 showing a Gross Profit of 23.19%.<br>When we make a sale for this item, ProStix picks up the promotional sell correctly and displays a "P" (pricing method), but applies the standard cost of $246.12 to the sale and gives a warning showing a negative G.P. |
| <span style="color: #003366">**CAUSE:**</span> | <span style="color: #333333">Promotion set up includes the ability to specify the quantity purchased for a promotion. Once the quantity sold equals or exceeds the purchased quantity, </span>  
<span style="color: #333333">the product will revert to normal cost rather than the promotional cost.</span> |
| <span style="color: #003366">**SOLUTION:**</span> | The solution to the above problem is to:<br>1. From the **ProStix Main Menu** select '**Inventory Maintenance**' then '**Special Pricing**' then '**Promotion Pricing**'.<br>2. From the '**Options**' menu select '**Promotions'**.<br>3. Select the appropriate promotion, then select '**Promotion Details**' from the '**Options**' menu.<br>4. Select <F7> (Change), then update **'Item Qty'** with the quantity purchased for this promotion. |
