Update FACTOR Files

When you choose #8 from the Standard Utilities Menu (1), you will arrive at this screen.

Also choosing #1, from the Inventory Utilities Menu will bring you here.  Also, you might directed here automatically by a routine that requires this information.

Please notice that the key into this record is made up of a VENDOR CODE and a PRODUCT CODE.

Using our Car Dealer as an example,  you could be selling sub-compacts from Nissan and Volkswagen.  Both of these items in your inventory would probably have PRODUCT CODE 101, but the VENDOR CODE in each file would be different, namely NISSAN and VOLKS.

This way you can set up FACTORS for your sub-compact line for each VENDOR or MAKE of car.  The cost calculation can be different, retail values might be different etc all based on the cost that you enter when you receive this car on to the lot.
