Questions, answered
Does it change any prices for me?
No. It only suggests a markdown level and the margin it would leave. Changing the price in RetailEdge is still your call.
What makes a gadget count as overstocked?
Being above its target stock level in RetailEdge with slow sales over the last 30 days, so a normal seasonal dip isn't mistaken for overstock.
How does it pick the suggested markdown percent?
It checks the cost recorded in QuickBooks and shows the margin left at a few common markdown levels, so you can pick the smallest cut that still moves the item.
