A new field in Vendor Masterfile Maintenance will allow the entry of additional Office Brands Supplier Codes into a BBS vendor to also update cost prices in BBS for these suppliers against this vendor.

 

For example, below, THE WHOLESALER charges portal pricing (ie they have parity pricing) for ZIONS, 3MAUS and STAEDT products. When the OB data import occurs, THE WHOLESALER product/supplier records will update cost prices from the portal for ZIONS, 3MAUS and STAEDT products. It will NOT create new secondary supplier records for THE WHOLESALER for these items as THE WHOLESALER may not carry them.

 

BBS will still continue to update ALL DATA for the real vendors for any codes entered here – for example if Staedtler is a supplier in your system, costs, supp item, moq, etc will all still update for Staedtler, and additionally just the cost will update for Staedtler products on THE WHOLESALER.

 

 

Other O/B Supplier codes where parity pricing applies is also visible from the Global Vendor Enquiry.
