In the past, when Office Brands put a product on promo, the catalogue and government sell prices, and future cost price for the Office Brands supplier (plus any linked parity pricing wholesalers) in BBS would update to reflect this.
From now on when an item is put on promotion the catalogue and government sell prices, and future costs will not change but instead BBS will import a promotional sell price with a start and end date, and a promotional cost price for the Office Brands vendor (plus any linked parity pricing wholesalers), also with a start and end date:
Some of the benefits being -
•Ensures that you are quoting based off your ACTUAL future cost instead of the promo cost which may expire prior to you winning the quote
•Staff can easily identify when a product is on promotion
•Staff can still view the normal catalogue and government sell prices
