Retail | Wholesale switch
Turn it on and the till shows the switch under the customer on every bill; switching changes the prices of the whole bill.
Retail and wholesale
Retail and wholesale billing from one stock, at the right price every time
Walk-in customers pay retail; the shopkeeper who buys by the carton pays your wholesale rate. MartPOS keeps both on one stock figure and shows on every line which price was charged.
Many kiryana and general stores sell both ways: parchoon to the neighbourhood and thok to smaller shops, hotels and canteens. MartPOS bills wholesale and retail from the same stock. Each unit of an item, a piece, a kg or a carton, has a retail and a wholesale price. In Settings › Sales › Retail and wholesale, the owner chooses how the shop sells: retail, with wholesale prices only for customers set to them; retail and wholesale, with a Retail | Wholesale switch on every bill; or a wholesale shop, where every bill starts at wholesale. One counter can also start every bill at wholesale.
Owners and managers may switch a bill's prices; a cashier may only if the owner allows it, or with a manager's PIN for that bill, and the store PC checks it on every bill. An item without a wholesale price is sold at retail and the line says so, and the receipt and A4 invoice of a wholesale bill say Prices: Wholesale.

Two prices, one counter
Wholesale customers
Tick "Charge wholesale prices" on a customer, and every bill for them starts at wholesale prices.
A wholesale counter
A counter can start every bill at wholesale, for trade buyers, while the other counters bill at retail.
A wholesale shop
Every bill starts at wholesale, walk-in bills too; the switch gives retail prices when a customer asks.
Carton and bag rates
Each pack has its own retail and wholesale price. A carton without a price of its own takes the piece's wholesale price times the pieces in it.
Price lists and agreed prices
A named, dated price list for a group of buyers, or one customer's agreed price for an item. They come before the wholesale price.
Who may switch
Owners and managers always; cashiers only when the owner allows it on the Roles page. Otherwise a manager approves that one bill with a PIN.
Marked on the bill
The receipt, the A4 invoice and the bill's page say "Prices: Wholesale"; a line with no wholesale price says "No wholesale price: retail".
Wholesale sales on their own
On the Sales page, "Wholesale prices" lists only the bills made at wholesale, and its totals are that period's wholesale sales.
Khata for trade buyers
Shopkeepers who buy on credit get a credit limit, a statement and ageing, like any customer. A wholesale bill can be set to need a named customer.
Why MartPOS
No guessing which rate applies
Every line says its price
Each bill line shows where its price came from: List, Wholesale, Price list, Qty price, Contract or Promotion. A reprint or a return shows the same.
One stock, sold both ways
A carton sold to a shopkeeper and a packet sold to a walk-in customer come out of one stock figure, counted in the base unit.
Profit that stays true
Both kinds of sale post to the same day book at the same average cost, so the profit and loss shows what wholesale really earns.
