Importing Special Pricing using Exported Spreadsheet

 

If you are adding new records by exporting out a spreadsheet like the one above and then adding new lines, the following columns must be filled in:

 

  • Customer
    • This is the Customer Number
    • Although the Name column is included by default when exporting, it is not required
  • Job
  • Item
  • Pricing Type
    • Options are Fixed Price, Dollar Off, Gross Margin, Percent Off
  • Price Level
    • If Pricing Type is Dollar Off or Percent Off, the Price Level column will need to be completed with the proper Price Level from which you want to base your price.
    • If Pricing Type is Fixed Price or Gross Margin, this column can be left blank
  • Price/Discount

 If needed, you can also fill in any of the other columns, such as Job or Job Name.

Importing Special Pricing using New Spreadsheet

 If you are creating a new spreadsheet from scratch, the following columns are mandatory (in any order):

  •  Customer
    • This is the Customer Number
    • You can include a column with the customer Name but it is not required
  • Job
    • If the special pricing does not apply to a specific job, this column can be left blank. 
    • You do not need to include a column for Job Name but optionally can
  • Item
  • U/M
    • Unit of Measure
  • Pricing Type
    • Options are Fixed Price, Dollar Off, Gross Margin, Percent Off
  • Price Level
    • If Pricing Type is Dollar Off or Percent Off, the Price Level column will need to be completed with the proper Price Level from which you want to base your price.
    • If Pricing Type is Fixed Price or Gross Margin, this column can be left blank. 
  • Price/Discount

Here is an example of what the spreadsheet can look like. Note that the Job and Price Level fields are blank as this price is being added for all jobs for this customer and is not for a specific Price Level:

Notes

  1. Contract pricing templates can easily be made using the steps in this document. Once you create the desired contract pricing on a customer, export the contract pricing for that customer and save. The exported file can then be imported for another customer by changing the Customer column to match the customer number in Décor Fusion. If the pricing will be for a specific job then the Job column must be changed to match the specific Job Number.
  2. Customers and Jobs must exist in Decor Fusion before importing data back in.
