Updating part prices

Note: This functionality is available only if you have the Estimating Module.

Caution! Always make a backup of your data before you add parts or update prices.

Consider the following points before updating part prices:

To update part prices:

1 Open 9-6 Add Parts/Update Prices.
2 Select Update Part Prices and complete the following as necessary:
a If you want Sage 100 Contractor to match parts based on the Alpha Part#, select Match Alpha Part#.
b Default Cost/Billing Amount is selected by default. Sage 100 Contractor updates the default cost/billing amount for parts in the database.

Note: Vendor-specific prices will not be applied to new parts but will be applied to Default Cost/Billing Amount.

c If you want Sage 100 Contractor to update the Vendor Price instead of the Default Cost/Billing Amount of the 9-2 Parts window, select Vendor Price.
d If you have selected Vendor Price as your update method, in the drop-down list, select the vendor whose source file you are using.
e The path name for the source file appears in the window.
3 Choose Select Source File, browse, and then select the database file to use for adding parts.
a The Source File Fields under Field Mapping appears.
b If the source file contains descriptive headers or labels as its first line, select First Line is Header. This line is ignored during the import function.
4 Map the Destination Fields from the Sage 100 Contractor database that correspond to the imported Source File Fields.
a On the left side of the window, under Field Mapping, select the Source File Fields row and the Destination Fields cell that you want to map.
b Under Destination Fields on the right side of the window, select the corresponding Sage 100 Contractor field by double-clicking the field. Alternately, select the Sage 100 Contractor field and then select ENTER or the arrow key to map the field.
5 Repeat step 4 until you have mapped all fields you want to import to Sage 100 Contractor from the external database.
6 Click Add/Update.
7 If any failures occur during the process, an error log appears for your review.

Tip: You can use your selections to save as a template for future use.
