Detailed Setup Guide

1. Enable and Configure Advanced Pricing Calendar

• By default, the Use POS Inventory toggle will use the POS inventory pools to determine inventory count and threshold to determine daily calendar background color. If Use POS Inventory is toggled to the left, it will use pricing count inventory set in dynamic pricing to determine daily calendar background color. When a pricing level sells out, the background color will change from under threshold background color to over threshold background color.
