To Ensure Your Edge is Set-Up for Spot Metal Pricing:

System Options

There are 3 System Options affecting the Spot Metal Pricing feature:

1. Prompt for Spot Metal Price When Selling: When a spot-priced metal is sold, this indicates whether you want The Edge to automatically prompt you for the current metal price at POS.
2. Prompt for Spot Metal Time Out: Only applicable if Prompt for Spot Metal Price When Selling set to True, this defines a timeout period in minutes. If the spot price has not been updated in this timeframe it will prompt. Set to 0 to prompt every time an item is sold.
3. Spot Metal Pricing Website: The address for the metal pricing source to be shown in item records and at POS. The default is http://www.kitco.com/market/

Metal Types

The Edge is preloaded with a list of default metal types.

To add, view, or edit additional metals:

1. Click Administrative → Lists. This will display the List of Lists window.
2. Check Show System Lists at the bottom.
3. Select SpotMetals from the list and Edit it. A list of current spot metals will appear.
4. From here, you can use Delete Item to delete an unwanted metal, Edit Item to edit an existing one, or Add Item to create a new one.
   NOTE: When adding, you will need to specify both a short value (abbreviation) and long value (spelled out).

Each metal needs to be mapped to a Metal Type and assigned a Metal Value. For example, 10k karat gold has a purity of approximately 41 percent gold. The Edge will load default values for you.

To add or change mapping:

1. Click Administrative → Metals Setup. The Metal Mapping Setup window will appear.

• Store Metal Value: The name of the metal in your store as defined in the SpotMetals list.
• Metal Type: The type of metal to map to; these are hardcoded and cannot be changed. Options include Gold, Silver, Platinum, and Palladium.
• Metal Value: The purity value of the metal.

2. Each Store Metal must be mapped to a Metal Type and assigned a purity. You can edit existing mappings, add new with the + Metal Mapping button, or remove mappings with the Red X button.
