Introduction
As you add invoices from your distributors/suppliers, item costs change over time. To help keep track:
Cost changes appear in your daily and weekly summary report emails
You can view an item’s cost history on the WISK Web Portal
Daily / Weekly Summary Emails
If an item cost has changed because of an invoice, a "Price Changes" table appears in your Daily / Weekly summary email.
This displays the item(s), details about the price change, and a link to open the item(s) in the WISK Web Portal.
To configure who receives these emails, please see:
Item Cost History
To view an items' cost history on the WISK Web Portal:
Click “Items” > “Items”
Place your cursor over an item and click the arrow icon in either the “Cost per Case” or “Cost per Unit” columns
Note: Costs from invoices display in blue text. If a cost has been entered manually it will be in black text. This also applies if the item was copied from another one of our venue's which already had a price.
This gives you a breakdown of every invoice entered that contains the item, displaying the date, time, distributor, quantity received, and the cost on the invoice. To view an invoice, click the “...” button beside it
Note: This is a good way to spot any anomalies if a POS Item cost alert triggers. For example, if the cost per case is entered as the cost per unit, that will cause the item cost to spike.
Depending on your account settings, your current item cost is based on either the most recent invoice cost, or a weighted average. Learn more:
Discounts
If the current cost per unit of an item includes a discount from the supplier, this displays a few ways.
When you scroll over the "Cost per unit" or "Cost per case" fields you'll see a small info icon. When you hover over it, it shows the adjusted cost based on the discount
When viewing the item cost history, if the current cost includes a discount it shows on the top left
