Overview
Importing a price list is a two step process, first a price list will need to be imported and then the price list details. Price List must be set to active before running the import.
Creating a Price List File
The Price List import file contains the following fields:
PriceListID: This is a numerical number that identifies the sequnce number of the price list. It typically will be one more that the last file you created.
Description: This would be some description that you would apply to the file name that would allow you to easily identify it in the User Interface. It is best to make sure that you are using unique names, most users use a combination of change reason plus the effective date
Special Characters are not allowed.
StartDate: This would be the effective date that the Price List would take effect. it would be a future date and would be formatted in YYYY-MM-DD format. If you are creating your file in Excel you may want to format this cell as a text file as Excel may automatically reformat the field to a MM/DD/YYYY.
Once this file is created, save it as a CSV format file. and begin creating the Price List Details file
Creating a Price List Details File
The Price List Details import file contains the following fields:
PriceListID: This identifies the Price List that this change is associated with.
ItemID: Enter the Item ID of the SKU that is to be changed
NewPrice: Enter the new price, or current price if there is no change. Do not leave blank
NewTaxID: Enter the new Tax ID, or current Tax ID associated with the Item if there is no change. Do not leave blank if you do all items will be loaded with no tax rate
NewDiscountID: Enter the new Discount ID, or current Discount ID associated with the Item if there is no change. Do not leave blank, if you do all current discount ID's assigned at the item level to the associated item will be removed.

Start Date should be greater than the current date. If you need to import a price list and have it effective on the same date, you will need to import it with a start date for a future date and then modify it using the UI to a date and time greater than the current time. (On the UI - go to Management>Inventory Management>Modify Inventory>Price List) |
Once this file is created, save it as a CSV format file. and begin creating the Price List Details file.
