Catalog Management

The Product Detail page shows catalog product detail, including prices. Use this page to edit product information and update individual item prices on pricesheets.

To edit/update product detail:

1. To locate the Product Detail page, from the Catalog tab select Search Supplier Catalog and search for the item that needs to be updated.

   See the Search Supplier Catalog topic for details on using the product search features.

2. Once you locate the item, click the Update link at the right to access the Product Detail page.

3. In the Product Detail area, update general product information, including name, description, manufacturer and model.

4. In the Pricing Information section, edit the values that control how the item is sold, including unit, conversion and manufacturer's suggested retail price.

   If the Sell Unit is thousand board feet or thousand square feet enter the measurements in the appropriate conversion table and click the Calculate button. The system will automatically calculate the Sell Unit Conversion for you.

   Note that the MSRP field is a reference field only and does not determine item pricing. SupplyPro uses product pricesheets to establish and maintain item prices.

5. If you want to change the department designation, in the Department Information section select Existing Department and choose from the Department list. Otherwise, select I want to Create a New Department and fill in the appropriate information.

6. View item price history in the Pricing Categories section.

7. Click the Update Product button.

8. To update individual item prices, use the New Prices section (details below).

Updating Prices for Multiple Pricesheets

It is possible to update product prices for all pricesheets at the same time from the Product Detail page. This method allows you to quickly make price changes to individual products when needed.

1. To locate the Product Detail page, from the Catalog tab select Search Supplier Catalog and search for the item that needs price updates.

   See the Search Supplier Catalog topic for details on using the product search features.

2. Once you locate the item, click the Update link at the right to access the Product Detail page.

   Product pricing information is located in the Pricing Categories section.

3. In the New Prices area toward the bottom of the page, choose the pricesheet(s) you wish to change prices for by selecting Add.

4. In the Sheet Price column, type the new item price for each pricesheet you wish to update.

5. In the Eff Date column, enter the effective date of the new price for each pricesheet you wish to update. The effective date has to be a future date, not the current date.

   You can also use on-line calendars to specify the date range. Click the calendar icon to view an auxiliary calendar window in your upper right screen corner. Click the calendar's forward and back buttons to access previous or future months. Select the day desired to automatically fill in the date field. Today's date cannot be the effective date.

6. Click the Add New Prices button.

   New price(s) display on the Supplier Product Detail page and in the Pricing Categories section after you click the Add New Prices button. New prices will not become effective until the effective date passes.
