Price Maintenance Utility is available for all versions of  BPCS  from 2.1.5 and up and comes complete with built-in data validation.  This program can significantly reduce the time and effort involved with annual or ongoing price changes. 

Users can specify whether the base amount is to be adjusted by a fixed amount or by a percentage or both.  Where both a percentage and a fixed amount are to be applied, the user decides if the fixed amount should be applied first and the percentage second or vice versa.  When the new price has been calculated, it price can be rounded to two decimal places if desired.

Before the changes are applied, the user can the option to copy the existing price file to guard against errors.  After the update, the program generates an audit report that shows the changes made.
