Ace Hardware: Exclude sale item purchases from suggested order calculations

Note: This change only applies to Ace Hardware stores that exclude sale item purchases from suggested order calculations in Paladin.

This feature is recommended and must be set up in Paladin Configuration. Contact a Paladin TSR for assistance.

With this feature set, when both a sale item and an associated promotional non-sale (trigger) item are purchased, both items will be excluded from suggested order calculations.

For example, if a customer purchases a bird feeder (sale item) that comes with a discount offer on bird seed (a non-sale trigger item), both purchases will be ignored in suggested order calculations.

To set up Paladin to exclude sale items from suggested order calculations:

1. In Paladin, from the main menu, select File > Setup.
2. Select the Sale List tab.
3. In the Sale Configuration pane, clear the Include sales in Order Needs calculations checkbox.
4. Click Save.
5. Click the Company tab.
6. In the Report Options pane, clear the Use real (not adjusted) sales quantities for Suggested Order Reports checkbox.
7. Click Save, then click Close.
