How can I quickly update the costs or sales prices of multiple items?

One of the best ways to quickly update cost and sales price information across multiple products is by using the Global Price Update Agent. This tool allows sales price, customer special price, cost, cost 2, or current cost to be updated across many different sets of items using many different modifiers to quickly and easily change pricing.

Start by opening Inventory -> Global Price Update Agent, then select the field to update. Depending on what you select, the following screens may be different, but they have intuitive prompts and are easy to follow. You will eventually be prompted to specify the set of items to update, either for all products, by category/subcategory, or for a certain range of product IDs. After specifying the items to update you will need to specify how you wish to update those numbers; either by adding a percentage (Percentage), adding a certain dollar amount (Dollar Adder), or setting them all to a specified value (Dollar Amount). Note that prices can be updated by a negative percentage or dollar adder. When this information is entered, click finish and Paradigm will execute your specified changes.

If the changes in prices or costs are not the same and therefore cannot be generalized and updated with the global price update agent, use the inventory import/ export feature to easily import custom pricing for your items. Another fast way of updating many inventory items is with the Edit Pricing form.
