[Resolved] bulk price change

[fr-rtuning]

i wanted to reduce a certain brand of products by 10% so i used this option and selected all the products i wanted change,

update seledcted products --> by percent --> 10 --> retail price

what this has actually done is reduce the value of the products down to 10% of original value instead of deducting 10% of the retail value and changed the retail price this new 10th of a price. I wanted it discounting by 10% and showing it as a new sale price. First question is how do I get my 10th of a value products up to 100% and secondaly can i change them like i want so new sale price is 10% of retail price. Thanks in advance

If a product is £100 and you update the price to 10% then it will be £10.

To reduce it by 10% use 90 in the field. To increase it by 10% use 110.

can i change them like i want so new sale price is 10% of retail price

There is no way to do that other than an SQL query to set the sale price as retail price * 0.9.

Only globally via the stores settings for sale mode.

ah it would be good if you could disocunt a cewrtasin brand selcted from the "manufacturers" list

[Al Brookbanks]

Yes that would be cool.

just tried changing back with 110% as you suggested but this only appears to have added 10% on the 10th of the price

[T3rry]

you;d have to make it 1000% to get it back to where it was

 

(10 times 100% (where 100% is $10)

 

so to get it back to how they were now that you did 10% and another 110%, you need to do 90% and then 1000%
