Overview
If your system can do automatic product file price updates (e.g. if you are an Office Brands dealer), this is the procedure you need to follow to make best use of automatic price updates.
Procedure
- Run a price book run for all products (see Creating a price book run)
- Add quantity on hand to the price book run log
- Filter the price book run log to only show products where the list price has changed
- Look at the "Difference Percentage" column on the price book run lines. (This column uses a formula newvalue/oldvalue*100 to calculate the percentage change for relevant fields)
- Sort the price book run lines list view by the "Difference Percentage" column
- Review the large positive and large negative changes on the spreadsheet
- For product where you do not want the data to change to match the price book:
- Go to the product
- Go to Settings > Catalogue Update tab
- Set ignore changes to sell prices and ignore changes to cost prices to be true
