STEPS…
- Did the Office Brands Product Import Task run without errors? Check it – Is it enabled? Scroll through it and look for any errors from the last run, check the last run date. Should be last night or whatever night the store elected it to run.
- Check the Product and Products (Extended) rules – the store may have this varied to a different name, filter out to show only enabled tasks for Product Import Destination of Product. Look at the tick box for Override Primary Supplier for both products and extended range product rules. *** If it is off for both products and extended range product rules, the store will need to run a Price Book Run.
- Check your product import audit to see if the appropriate products had their SupplierProductID updated (ask your head office for an example product if you want) e. search example New Value column for 12004CM if it appears, the task has run correctly based on the rules.
- Check to see if the suppliers have any outstanding balances on them. You should not merge suppliers if there are any outstanding balances on them. Once the outstanding balances are paid, then merge.
The merge of Supplier Cards IS NOT an automatic thing that happens with the office brands product import task
