Item Royalty
Big Business reports Royalties for Items sold, based upon a Royalty Amount Per Item or a Royalty Percentage Rate.
• The Royalty Percentage Rate is applied to the Extended Price of each Item sold.
• The Royalty Amount Per Item is multiplied by the Quantity of each Item sold.
Items which use either method will appear on the same Royalty Report.
The ReportSearch for the Royalty Reports searches Invoices, allowing you to narrow the report.

1. Select Reports from the File menu.

The Royalty Reports are sorted and summarized by the Vendor specified on the Item Card.

Chapter 805 Item Labels
Item Labels help you show your Item Codes, Pricing, Allocation, or custom Barcoding.
This chapter reviews a few options for price labels, allocation tags, and custom labels.

Item Purchases
Item Purchases lets you change cost on a Purchase Order or Bill and save the new cost.
When you add an item to a PO it fills in the Item Cost for you. If you change this cost a dialog will ask if you want to save the new cost. Say, Yes, if this the new Item Cost.
If you are entering a one-time cost for a special order say No to keep its old Item Cost.
