Price Synchronization: General Information

MYOB Acumatica Retail Connectors provides flexible ways of managing sales prices. You can assign prices to stock and non-stock items, maintain specific prices for particular customers or groups of customers with similar buying habits, or assign discounted prices for customers buying in bulk. For more information about the types of prices supported in MYOB Acumatica, see Sales Prices: General Information.

Learning Objectives

In this section, you will learn how to synchronize base sales prices between MYOB Acumatica and the BigCommerce store.

Applicable Scenarios

You might want to synchronize sales prices from MYOB Acumatica with the BigCommerce store if you maintain base prices of non-stock and stock items in MYOB Acumatica and want to quickly update sales prices of the corresponding products in BigCommerce.

Synchronization of Default Item Prices

The default price of a particular stock item is specified on the Stock Items (IN202500) form and is exported to the BigCommerce store during the synchronization of the stock item. Similarly, the default price of a non-stock item is maintained on the Non-Stock Items (IN202000) form and is exported to the BigCommerce store when the non-stock item is synchronized. For information about the synchronization of stock and non-stock items, see Product Synchronization: General Information.

In the BigCommerce store, the default prices of stock and non-stock items are displayed in the Default Price box in the Pricing subsection of the Product Information section on the View Products page for a particular stock or non-stock item.

Synchronization of Base Sales Prices

Base prices—that is, the prices that are not specific to any customer—are maintained on the Sales Prices (AR202000) form or the Sales Price Worksheets (AR202010) form and are exported to the BigCommerce store as a separate entity, Base Sales Price.

Sales prices of the Base type imported from MYOB Acumatica are saved in BigCommerce in the Sale Price box in the Pricing subsection of the Product Information section on the View Products page for a particular stock or non-stock item.

In BigCommerce, the sales price has a higher priority than the default price. Therefore, when the Sale Price box is populated for an item, the price specified in this box is the effective price of the item.

Limitations of Sales Price Synchronization

The following price types maintained in MYOB Acumatica cannot be exported to a BigCommerce store:

  • Customer-specific prices: Prices defined in MYOB Acumatica for a particular customer—that is, prices that have the Customer type—cannot be exported to the BigCommerce store. If you want to provide a particular customer with the ability to purchase products at individual prices, create a separate customer price class for this customer. This way, the prices that you define for this customer price class will be available for only the customer that you add to this customer price class.
  • UOM-specific prices: In MYOB Acumatica, if the Multiple Units of Measure feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form, you can define a sales price of an item for each of the units of measure in which your company sells this item. However, only prices defined for the sales UOM can be exported to BigCommerce.
  • Warehouse-specific prices: If the Multiple Warehouses feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form, prices that are defined to apply only when products are sold from a particular warehouse—that is, when a specific warehouse ID is selected in the Warehouse column for a particular price—are not exported to the BigCommerce store.
Note: Only prices that are effective on the date of the synchronization are exported; historical prices and prices with an effective date in the future are not synchronized. If an item has multiple prices of the same type that are effective on the date of the synchronization, the price of the highest priority is imported. For example, if a regular base price of $5 and a promotional base price of $4.50 for the same item are effective on January 31, 2022, which is the date when you synchronize the Base Sales Price entity, the promotional price of $4.50 will be exported to the BigCommerce store.
