The Automatic Retail Price Adjustment feature in KORONA POS (part of the Plus Package) allows retailers to update product prices based on changes in their costs automatically. Instead of manually editing each product's price, this tool helps you apply consistent, minimum-profit-margin-based adjustments across multiple items, saving time and reducing errors.
This feature helps ensure your products always meet a minimum profit margin, and it works based on assortments. Each Assortment can have its own margin rule, so you’ll want to organize your products accordingly.
For example, if products in Assortment A need to maintain at least a 15% profit margin and products in Assortment B need at least 50%, those rules will be checked anytime new stock is received.
When a stock receipt is booked, the system checks whether the current sales price still meets the margin requirement based on the new cost.
If it doesn’t, it will automatically increase the retail price to meet the margin. That updated price will take effect the next day.
So if a product’s cost goes up and the margin dips below your threshold, the system adjusts the price for you to keep you covered.
You can also add a price pattern rule on top of this. This forces all new prices to end in a specific way — like .99, .00, or any other rounding logic you prefer.
For instance, if a product needs to be priced at $15.25 to meet the margin, but you’ve set a pattern of .99, the system will round it up to $15.99. This keeps pricing consistent and professional-looking across your store.
Below is an example of how this would be set for the $15.99 example.
This combination of automatic margin enforcement and optional price rounding gives you a lot of control and saves time — especially if you’re managing a large catalog of products. Just make sure your assortments are well organized based on their margin needs, and you’ll be able to maintain consistent profitability without having to micromanage your prices.
