RETAIL PRICE CHANGES

POLICY

  1. Retail Price Change (RPC) forms CF 1343 (Annex A) shall be used by all outlets where inventory is controlled by the retail accountability method.

  2. The purpose of the RPC is to change the retail inventory records to recognize the adjustment required when an item's retail value is reduced or increased. Note that the retail value excludes any GST and PST that may be included in the posted selling price.

  3. Markdowns and markups shall not be netted on CF 1343. They shall be reported on different RPC forms and entered separately on the Closing Inventory Worksheet.

  4. RPCs shall not be raised to cover the loss of merchandise such as empty packages or containers. Stock losses will only be actioned at time of a supervised stocktaking.
