Vendor Price Worksheets

Form ID: (AP202010)

You can use this form to create vendor-specific price worksheets. By using a worksheet, you can make changes to prices in bulk. Prices defined in a worksheet become effective when you release the worksheet; before you release it, you can make edits and save your changes. Also, you can create a worksheet with promotional prices and set an expiration date for the promotion. You can use a worksheet to calculate the pending prices for multiple items by using the price basis you specify. For more information on vendor prices, see Maintaining Vendor Prices.

You can populate a worksheet by manually adding new rows, uploading prices from an Excel file, using MYOB Acumatica import scenarios, and clicking the Add Item and Copy Prices buttons.
