Update Existing Vendor Pricing

Back Top Prev Next Print

Note: Updating pricing will only affect new jobs, quotes etc. Any objects prior to the update will not have their prices updated.

To begin, go to Stock > Create Stock List on the ribbon and run a filtered list of the stock requiring updating. Right click in the grid and select Export Vendor Pricing Data.

Note: You cannot update kitting or packaging stock prices using this method, nor can you update List Ex.

You need the Rank, Stock Code, Vendor, Vendor List Price columns (along with any other columns you are specifically changing). If you use mixed currencies, you will require the Currency column and if you wish to show the date it was updated, keep the Last Updated column and enter the date required.

Jim2 will work out the Vendor Last Cost (buy unit price) and Estimated Cost (base unit price) for you based on the Vendor List Price and any discounts after that. If you have an amount in these columns when importing, you are overriding and telling Jim2 to specifically use these prices, which will be an issue if you have stock with multiple measure units and discounts.

Make your changes to the pricing, then save the file.

Rank is required because, if it is not set, Jim2 thinks there isn't one and will add a rank. Currency is only required if you are using mixed currencies and Last Updated is to be used if you wish to note the date it was updated in Jim2 on the Vendor tab.

On the ribbon go to Tools > Import Data and select Import destination: Stock Vendor Pricing.

Click Next. Select the Source File name and open the saved spreadsheet. Map the Source Field Name to the Destination Field Name if not already done.

Click Next, then Load data to grid from source.

When you load the data you will receive a warning that there are errors. Please ignore this warning.

Click Synchronise, (this step is important as it ensures everything is ok to bring in to Jim2.) You will receive a pop up advising that the data test was successful.
