Note: Existing Customer Pricing rows will update if the following conditions are true:
-
the CSV row specifies the CustomerCode and ProductCode, AND
-
the CSV row does not specify any of Product Group, MinimumQuantity, ValidFrom, and ValidTo
If the above condition is met, then the following field values will be updated from their respective CSV columns:
-
PriceType (ie. IsFixedPrice, IsDiscount)
-
Price/DiscountValue
-
Comments
-
Obsolete
-
ShowDiscount
-
DiscountFrom (ie. SellPriceTier or DefaultSellPrice)
NOTE: ON AVERAGE, THIS PROCESS TAKES 75 MINUTES TO PROCESS 10,000 ROWS
Updating customer pricing for all customers: If you want to update the customer pricing for all customers, you must delete all customer prices and then re-import (see clickable "Delete" button on Import/Export page).
The reason for this is that individual customer prices cannot be identified in the CSV unless the above conditions are met.
Make sure that you have exported the existing details for reference before you delete all customer prices.
You can export customers, delivery addresses, customer contacts, or customer pricing you have created in Unleashed to a CSV file.
- Click Export to export customers by default. The customer export file can be downloaded from the Tasks menu .
- Alternatively, use the Export button drop-down list to select either Customers, Delivery Addresses, Customer Contacts, or Customer Pricing.
- A CSV file is generated with the details.
