The Pricing Manager form is used to set up fuel pricing, including tier pricing. Tier Two pricing can be set up at any time but does not take effect until the appropriate information is entered in the “Start Tier 2 Pricing” and “Number of Tier Hours” parameters in Fuel > Site Parameters > Fuel Site Parameters.
Select the product, then double-click the Price text boxes and enter the price (0.000 - 9.999). The price of all products changes to match the price entered in the top text box after ENTER is pressed. Prices can be edited if necessary.
When entering a price, take care when placing the decimal point. For example, to change a price to 1.159, enter it as written here. To change a price to 1.500, enter the trailing zeros.
If you only change fuel prices, for the changes to take effect, initialize Fuel Prices by selecting:
Forecourt > Initialization > Fuel Prices
If you change other fuel parameters as well as prices, you will need to initialize Fuel and DCRs for the changes to take effect. To do this, select both of the following:
Forecourt > Initialization > Fuel
Forecourt > Initialization > DCRs
Make sure that your fueling positions are not in use when initializing any Fuel Prices, Fuel, or DCRs.
The fuel prices have a limit of four characters and can take only a maximum of $9.999 with three decimal places. This document shows how to configure a site to set fuel prices to 2 decimal places to support price that are greater than $9.999 per gallon in the $xx.xx format.
Configuring Fuel Prices for 2 Decimal Places
Go to Forecourt > Fuel > Fuel Config Pending > Site Parametersand disable “Force .9 Cents Per Gallon”.
Go to Forecourt > Fuel Prices Pending and change all existing product prices with third decimal place to 0 (eg: from $2.152 to $2.150).
Go to Forecourt > Fuel > Fuel Config Pending > Site Parametersand change “PPU Decimal Position” and “Total Decimal Position” to “2”.
Go to Forecourt > Fuel Prices Pending and change the prices of the product per gallon to the $XX.XX format for both Tier One and Two Prices.
Feature Limitations
Sites can be configured to take fuel prices with either two or three decimal places; $xx.xx or $x.xxx. Sites cannot have mixed decimal positions while using a single Verifone Commander.
At two decimal sites, prices that have 3 decimal places (eg. $4.299) will only be calculated at the 2 decimal amount (eg. $4.29).
By default, sites are configured for 3 decimal places in $x.xxx format.
DCR Keys

The configuration for DCRs that are alphanumeric should have the “Enable Alphanumeric” checked, and NOT checked for the DCRs that only accept number input.
