Increase prices by a percentage in CS2

I have this VERY old script written for me in 2004. 
It worked then, but for some reason now when I run it, it updates the same number 3 times!  If I turn on "enable redraw", I can see this happen.  It updates the number to the correct value (but adds two decimal places to the end, then updates it two more times and then finally removes the decimals. 
I tried removing the spots in the array dealing with whole numbers with decimals, because all my numbers do not have decimal places (except if an item is less than a whole dollar)
Or, is this script outdated and could be re-written?
Basically I have a few files full of prices with dollar signs scattered around in various stories (text boxes), and need to increase all of them by a percentage that is manually entered.
Also, if the prices could go out to 5 places instead of 4, that might help in the future.
Thanks!

  • What is the increase price for in app purchaes

    ITunes have increased the price of apps and in app purchases, a game developer has increased their prices by 33% in some cases and say this is apple. is this true?

    Again, Apple has no say in how developers price their Apps.  They do take a percentage of each transaction, but while they may have increased that percentage, it does not directly affect the final price.   i.e if the developer sets the price at 2.99 and Apple takes 20% of that, the App price would still be 2.99 even if apple was taking say 30% now.  If the Developer chooses to raise the price to 3.99 to offset what apple takes, then that's up to them.
    The price you see displayed has nothing to do with Apple.  Its up to the developers to set it. Apple simply takes a percentage based on the price they set.
    https://developer.apple.com/programs/ios/distribute.html
    Basically, Kabam is using apple as an excuse to hike up their prices.

  • Price condition discount percentage working different

    Dear Gurus,
    I defined a condition. It is a discount.
    Condition class: Discount or surcharge
    Calculation Type: Percentage included
    Pricing Procedure contains only 2 condition; price and discount.
    Value of price is 15000
    Vavue of discount is 15%
    When I run fee calculation, I expect that 15000 - (15000*15%) = 12750, but the result is "12352,94".
    What could be the reason?
    Thanks,

    Did you actually change the sold-to party though or just the payer?  The sold-to party's price list type controls the price list type value copied into the order header.  Even if the payer has a different value, it's not copied to the order header.  You can see this behavior in FV45KFKD_VBKD_FUELLEN.  If you switch sold-to's then you should get a pop-up that new pricing was carried out; you should also see your new price list type value in the order header and you can use the 'analysis' function at the item level to verify that the correct price was used.

  • Price difference by percentage

    Hi experts,
    I need to configure for below scenarios
    I have to raise a purchase order to a vendor for  Procuring gold.
    The Purchase order will be in KG. But the price get varies based on the purity of gold.
    If i set 100% purity of gold is Rs. 1000. While receving only it will come to know the purity of gold.
    If it is 90 % price pay to the vendor is RS 900.
    so kindly suggest how to do

    Dear,
    Use condition type available for Gold scenario in standard SAP condition types.
    Actually i havent used it but u can use and observe the effects.
    Again for the second thing i.e. procurement in KG and paying in quality wise .
    U can make use the inforecord wherein u can maitain price/unit,
    for that make the unit for quality of Gold. and maintain the rate

  • STB price increase

    I have two set top boxes and one digital adapter. I am payiing just under 20 dollars a month in rental fees for all three. According to my June bill each device will have its rental charge increased by two dollars. That's a 30 % price increase! For the digital adapter, going from 3.99 to 5.99 is a 50% price increase! Even though I am on a two year contract, these increases are not part of the contract pricing. It was because of games like these that I moved from Comcast to FIOS. Guess its time to start lookng into  cable cards and tuners.

    I had the exact same thing happen on this month's bill, and I, too, had a 2-year contract.  Did you ever hear back from Verizon or did you contact them via phone?
    Can Verizon legally do this - i.e. just increase prices - without a notice?
    And I will definitely be heading to cable.  They increased my STB fees by $6 a month (for 3 boxes), which will be an additional $72 in the course of a year.

  • Price increase despite 12months agreed charges

    Negotiated prices for package deal (Landline, anytime add-on, broadband etc) for a 12 months period commencing 08/11.
    Received quote in writing confirming that prices will last for 12 months. In December 2011 all prices were increased disregarding our agreement. Our demands for a credit for the difference have been refused quoting paragraph 50 of the bt terms & conditions.
    How can it be that bt can increase prices despite a firm agreement, in writing, confirming the validity of prices for a 12months period?
    In a recent letter bt explained the necessity to increase prices due to market pressures yet at the same time we were able to negotiate even better terms than in August 2011 !?
    We have been loyal bt customers for many years and were under the impression that once you negotiate a package they will honour it.
    Has anybody else had this experience? Any advice would be appreciated before we take it further. 

    Thank you, Ectophile, for your comment.
    We are satisfied with the service bt offers and would not want to change unless we feel we are being taken for a ride and/or not respected as a loyal customer.
    As a Guru, (who should know, I presume) can you explain the absurdity of this situation?:
    One negotiates prices , bt comfirms these prices, declares them valid for 12 months, increases prices 4 months later, explains them with market pressures, refuses a refund but offers even better rates than previously.
    I would expect, based on this "system", we will  get an increase in January, again ignoring our "negotiated prices", our demand for a credit/refund will be refused, quoting paragraph 50, and we will then be offered even better prices the next time round

  • How to create price list in all item..?

    Hi all,
    I want to modify the price list in all items because changing the price. If I have more 100 items, I have got difficult change on SBO one by one, there is not an efficient and need a long time. I used SBO 2005A PL 43.
    How to create it fast on SBO? How to create add on module to modify the price list in all items so I modify the price list is faster? I don't know relationship the tables to change the price list on SBO. Please let me know...
    Thanks in advance for your help....
    Agung

    Dear Mr Adrianto,
    In the stock module under price list there are different options. It could be possible to change the prices of Parent items according to thier children's prices.
    Also, you can use the option: Special prices for BP, if you need to change the prices for on BP.
    There is also the discount group if you want to reduce the price of items for the whole group. Please note that you can also increase prices when you use a percentage > 100%.

  • Calculating percentages using numbers

    Hi there, 
    I hope someone out there can help me but how do I calculate the percentage of two numbers using Numbers. For example £4000 incoming and £1650 outgoings - How do  I get the spreadsheet to work out the percentage and input this number into the fields?  This is really painful trying to work it out. Thanks

    Hi Adrian,
    You wrote: "I need to do this with 2 column actually A and B, both column need to be added by that 5%, I think this only possible"
    If I'm reading the description of your table correctly, column A shows the number of units, column B the price of each unit, and column C the price of that quantity of units.
    If you increase the unit price by 5%, that will also increase the total price of n units by 5%, provided you multiply the quantity by the new unit price instead of the old unit price.
    Here's a step by step:
    Original table:
    Formula in C2, and filled down column C: =A*B
    Add a new column (D) to hold the formula for the increased price.
    D2, and filled down: =B*(1+5%)
    With the cells shown still selected, Copy (command-C)
    Now select cell B2, and go Edit > Paste Values (Numbers '09) or Edit > Paste Formula Results (Numbers 3)
    Results should be as shown below:
    (Note that column C has been recalculated to show the results of a 5% increase in unit prices. Column D (labelled "temp") has also been recalculated to show what the unit prices would be after a second 5% increase. the last step is to delete this column, leaving us with the original table, but with unit prices increased by 5%:
    In practice, you would probably NOT do this on the actual invoice. Item names (or numbers) and the unit prices of those items would be kept on a price list, separate from the invoice, and the price would be looked up by the Invoice table when the item name or number was entered. The table would be used as an invoice generator, and the completed invoices either printed or 'printed' as pdf files as each was generated.
    Price changes would be made on the price list, either individually, or geerally as done here. Note that the new prices would affect new invoices AND any existing invoices still connected to the price list (which is why each is 'printed' to separate it from the calculating document). Here's a simple example using a price list as a lookup table. Item Number and Quantity are entered on the invoice. The rest is added by formulas.
    Formulas:
    Price List has no formulas.
    Invoice:
    C2 and filled right to column D and down to row 6:
    =IFERROR(VLOOKUP($B,Price List :: $A:$C,COLUMN()-1),"")
    In row 6, the empty cell in column A will cause a "could not find" error. IFERROR catches this and places a null string in C6 (and in D6).
    E2 and filled down to E6: =IF(LEN(D)<1,"",A*D)
    LEN(D) returns the length (in number of characters) of the contents of the cell on the same row of column D. If the cell is empty, or contains a null string (as in row 6), the length is zero, and IF will place a null string in column E.
    SUM, in row seven, interprets text (including a null string) as zero, so this does not affect the sums in coumns A and E.
    Row 7 is a Footer Row. Formulas referencing a whole column ignore values in Header and Footer rows, making it possible to place the formulas below where they are.
    A7: =SUM(A)
    E7: =SUM(E)

  • I have Adobe Photoshop cs2 for windows.

    Considering getting a Mac but first see if I have to purchase the one for Apple or will they let me convert from windows to a mac version

    The correct answer would be that you need to request a Cross-Grade from Adobe customer service and pay for the upgrade to CS5 for the Mac ($200), and forfeit your license to your Windows version of Photoshop.
    If you want to keep using your CS2 Windows copy, then you have to buy a full version of CS5 for the Mac at full price ($700).
    Hurry up,  CS2 will be out of the upgrade loop very soon, as soon as CS6 is announced.

  • Price error - In creation of sales order

    Dear ALl,
    When i am trying to create a sales order with the t -code VA01 and enter a material i get a warning saying
    "000010:: Enter Pricing".This happens only for one customer ,for other customer with the same material there is no warning.
    Can some one guide as to what is missing for this customer.
    Thanks in advance,
    Swati

    Hi,
    You have to maintain the CONDITION RECORDS for the MWST condition type in the transaction code VK11
    Alternatively  you can also do some configration to make the MWST as Optional
    In the Pricing procedure V/08 uncheck the  MANDATORY and check the Manual option which will not display the Error.
    During the Sales order processing you can enter the MWST price as some percentage.
    Please do the above and revert back if you need any other details
    thanks,

  • Moving average price variance in Invoice verification

    Hello,
    I set in sys that the moving average of price variance will be check in tolerance of x% (lower & upper limit) BUT the system ignore it , when I save an Invoice (MIRO) with price that change the moving average price for more than X% the invoice was saved with no W/E massage . I set all massages that seams to be relevant with E but nothing was happened .
    What is the way to set the system that in Invoice verification stage it will check the moving average price variance and give an alert or will not let the invoice to be post ???
    Best Regards
    Idit

    Hi,
    You can block Invoices using transaction code OMC0
    (a) Use Tolerancy Key VP for your company code
    (b) Fill-up Lower and Upper check tolerance limit %
    When a stock posting line is created as a result of an invoice item, the system calculates the new moving average price that results from the posting. It compares the percentage variance of the new moving average price to the old price using the percentage tolerance limits defined.

  • Is this how to treat your loyal customers !? (Massive increase in monthly charges!)

    So I've been with Verizon for 2 years now and my services are up for renewal.
    I decided to go to the Verizon website to check out what renewal / upgrade options were available to me. The usual prompt to talk to a CSR came up and thought what the hell, lets see what they can do for me. 
    The conversation started with them thanking me for being a loyal customer to Verizon, but then the conversation took a turn for the worst.  Not so much with the agent but more of what he could or as the case is NOT offer me.
    The CSR first informed me that I could have exactly the same package as I have now for an increase of just $10 m/o.  I was even informed that my internet speed would increase from 35mb to 50mb. 
    However this was incorrect !
    My current Triple Pay pack (purchased 2 years ago) was $109.99 m/o.  I also have Multi Room DVR ($39.99 m/o) along with HBO ($16.99)  With taxes etc my monthly bill is $186 ish.
    After a long conversation with the CSR it appears that TRIPLE PLAY is now a whopping $154.99.  For me that's nearly a $50 increase !
    Add to this the $39.99 for multi room and an increased price for my HBO service of $19.99 and my monthly payments jumps from $186 to $219, an increase of $30.
    This also includes the $5 monthly discount.
    What I thought would be a painless transition to a new contract as now turned into me considering leaving Verizon.  I can't justify paying $30 + taxes extra each month for the same services I've had for 2 years !
    Is this really how Verizon say "Thanking for being a loyal customer"....
    This is not a complaint against the CSR agent.  Infact they were really helpful, its more a complaint about the treatment of so called "Loyal" customers !

    OK.. I'm thinking of taking this further as surely this is false advertising !
    On the front page of MY VERIZON
    Note that it states "LOCK IN YOUR CURRENT BUNDLE DEAL PRICE FOR 2 YEARS !!!!"
    OK, so heres is my current bundle deal ! as seen on my bill....
    So why cant you do exactly what your website is telling I can.
    Instead the CSR tries to sell my a bundle deal at $154.99 m/o !

  • In design CS2 has it been dumped completely by this awful company

    My problem is that Indesign CS2 wont open any longer. I bought it as a bundle and paid a huge sum for the full Creative suite. I was told at the time that I could run a separate copy on my laptop at the time. Later when I tried to do that I found that because my laptop was Visa it would not work and they have not upgraded it to work on Vista. Instead these PEOPLE brought out CS3 version and the price they want to upgrade from CS2 Creative suite to CS3 Creative suite is almost the same huge price I paid to buy it in the first place. So I feel like I have been completely duped by Adobe (who should never have been allowed to take over Micrographics and reduce the competition).
    I subsequently tried to buy the upgrade for just the Adobe Photoshop as Adobe's site indicated I could get it for an upgrade price from the Creative suite CS2. I thought I could at least get some work done on my laptop. Of Course it would not install would not accept the CS2 Creative suite Key. So they did not Honor that offer. No response from Adobe Of course, So I followed their procedure through the Adobe shop to return it. (within the time frame required by them). Again of course with Adobe you get no help, so you would not be surprised to know that they did not respond to a refund request. So there is another offer that they did not honor. (later I got so desparate to do some work that I logged into their shop and bought the full version of Photoshop for Vista on the laptop and guess what? My earlier request for the refund is noted there with a pending approval note beside it.) Did they deduct the refund for the returned product from the charge to Cr Card card for the new product? (Get real??).
    They do offer Tech Support however it seems that you have to Pay for that separately (to help them identify their products problems?)
    We are just a small business who only need to produce a pdf file for a printer to produce our brochures, twice per annum. Is there any other solution than Adobe??
    Anyway, after a bitter experience of dealing with this company I expect little from this marathon, but getting back to the problem.
    All of the other Adobe products that came with CS2 creative suite still work, but Indesign CS2 wont open.
    It gives me a succession of 3 error messages:-
    "the proceedure entry point ??1FDScriptRunning@@QAE@XZ could not be located in the dynamic link library Public dll. "(twice) then:-
    "the proceedure entry point ??1StoryEndCharHelper@@UAE@XZ could not be located in the dynamic link library Public dll".
    These error messages have been raised by other people here in these forums but another dissapointing thing about Adobe is there is no apparent resolution to the problem spelled out from reading those listings.
    I have CS2 Version 4.O.4 running on Windows XP. If the error is caused by modifications to Windows XP then I would have thought that Adobe would have had a fix for their product by now as most of the people that have reported the problem in this forum did so back in April 07. Microsoft's site says that my version of XP (and they seem to be still supporting it when its a lot older than CS2 Creative suite) is up-to-date.
    Does anyone think its possible for all of the little business people globally to do something collectively to make global corporations more accountable?

    Dominic, Why is it that the ADOBE STAFF like you, are totally focused on leaving comments here to brush past the issues that I am concerned about and focus on trying to make out that I purchased something in error and so must be an idiot?
    Let me make these points again, that were made perfectly clear above:-
    (1)COMMENT: "they have not upgraded it to work on Vista. Instead these PEOPLE brought out CS3 version and the price they want to upgrade from CS2 Creative suite to CS3 Creative suite is almost the same huge price I paid to buy it in the first place. So I feel like I have been completely duped by Adobe."
    (2)"Adobe's site indicated I could get it (Adobe Photoshop CS3)for an upgrade price from the Creative suite CS2". (3) "they did not Honor that offer".
    (4) When I followed their return and refund policy for the Adobe Photoshop CS3, "they they did not respond to a refund request".
    (5)They acknowledged the return as it, is showing in my account, yet when I subsequently purchased the full version of Adobe Photoshop CS3 they did NOT "deduct the refund for the returned product from the charge to Cr Card card for the new product?"
    (6)"Have they (in all this time since) refunded the money for the correctly returned product purchased because of their misleading website statements? NO"
    These people appear to be lacking in integrity, so the fact that they have the hide to dupe CS2 Creative Suit buyers by not offering a fair upgrade price, a short time later when their product wont work on the latest operating system, is something they will never admit to. These kind of people will never be able to understand that such tactics are considered sharp practices and unethical by the rest of the world.
    So can you please instead address the issues of their misleading website as to:- (A) indicating Adobe Photoshop CS3 could be purchased for the upgrade price from Creative Suite CS2, and when the product downloaded would not work as an upgrade, (B) that they induce customers to believe their sales pitch by also saying that their products can be returned, deleted from your PC and refunded within a fixed period.
    (C) having been advised of this failure to refund, they ignore the matter and pretend the complaint is about some other TOTALLY unreasonable complaint.

  • Oracle Workshop II LVC  for OCP Certification Price

    Hi all ,
    here is a serious question that Customer Service from France,UK or the US can not answer me , I call them all but no answers!!!!.
    It's been a year since I got my Oracle OCA certification. thinking about getting the OCP; I looked at the requirement and choose to go on for the Administration Workshop 2. this class if in the US will cost $3000 for the instructor led-training or LVC (live virtual class).
    1) I do understand that according to the country where the exam is taken the price tag is different.. exple: France 2950€≈4000$ , for the instructor led training..
    therefore been a little surprise I look for the LVC because why traveling or moving if I can take it on-line. did a little search and found that for the same training(Administration Workshop 2 LVC) if I select Romania as my home country ,for the LVC training the price is 3,200 RON==> 1,056$ , with different schedules and languages available for the trainer......
    so living in France I can just go ahead and register for that LVC training with the trainer language of my choice ,this having Romania as my home country ,pay the fees of 1,056$ , take my training online and therefore satisfied for the hands on course requirement ????????
    If any one can tell me please do so??? thanks in advance.
    ps: I'm just a student having hard time to afford that training and thus searching for ways to make it.. thanks Cyrille

    because let say I only understand English and I live permanently in France , .....ce n'est pas bon, mon ami, vous pourrait être pris pour un tour!!! ;-)
    More seriously I don't think there has been any issues with people going to a different country to do training. Indeed some people will have had to have done it because it was not offered or was not offered at a convenient time in their own country.
    However Oracle charges differently for the same course in different contries, and differently for different locations in the same country. At least a proportion of this relates to the expense cost of the location, and some probably relates to an acceptable price point for the country in question.
    Obviously some have done it for economic reasons; and i have seen training offered by companies on this basis.
    Lets take a example, lets say bigdelboy decides to take a dataguard course. He looks at the price for London UK and he looks at a price for Bangalore India.
    Now the price in India is about 1/3 of that in London. however for bigdelboy there's the airfare to think about, the travel to think about, bigdelboy might have to consider travel innoculations and hotels and not knowing the area, and no logistical chance of a satisfaction guaranteed repeat and maybe even a visa to think about. (Whereas perhaps for bigdelboy's work colleague 'Fred' who is native to India and has family in Bangalore has a different cost/risk/benefit consideration).
    (Thereagain if bigdelboy was prepared to take 4 * 5-day course consecutively the cost/risk/benefit might be different .... mind you one 5 day course at a time is enough to make the head throb).
    Overall students will occasionally squeal about this but most can appreciate (at least to some extent) different pricing in different countries.
    However with LVC's this looks a little different.
    Obviously LVC's are priced similarly to real classes.
    Obviously if I could buy an LVC from Bangalore at 1/3 the price of one from London while sitting in the parchment makers supping a lemonade then I'd probably go for the LVC from Bangalore!
    Anyway this would drive a big torpedo through the Oracle University cost model and cause a lot of fall out.
    - I've never taken one but would probably be concerned about it being less effective than classroom training.
    There are probably some other good reasons for keeping an LVC within country though, these may IMHO include:
    - Trainer would typically have more empathy with the country's culture.
    - Less risk of internet delays / disruption to individual class members.
    - Possibly issues with payments for services between countries.
    Quite frankly IMHO Oracle University have little option but to impose this LVC from within country rule to seriously disrupting their training organisation or seriously increasing prices in some countries. In fact if they were forced to drop this rule they might well be forced to discontinue LVCs.
    Basically the business people at Oracle University are not totally stupid and have calculated that if the allow people 'residing' (whatever that is defined as) in high cost counties to take LVC's delivered low cost countries they are likely to have significant problems and they will ensure this does not happen. I suspect people trying to circumvent this could have their course stopped and course fees foreit.
