When adjusting costs/prices using Manual Pricing, one of the following windows will display if a duplicate Forward Price record for the product already exists.
Example: Product A has a selling price/cost of 5.00. On June 2, user Gareth attempts to use Manual Pricing to add a new 'forward' selling price/cost for Product A of 6.00, to be applied on June 30. However, on doing so Gareth discovers user Mike has already uploaded a new 'forward' selling price/cost for Product A of 7.00, to be applied on June 30. Therefore an error message displays to warn Gareth that a Forward Price record for the product already exists.
There are two types of 'duplicate Forward Price' warning, depending on how you are adjusting costs/prices using Manual Pricing:
The Supplier Actions window displays when you use Manual Pricing to update Supplier Costs for a product and a duplicate Forward Price record for that product exists:
Note: 'Main Supplier Actions' displays if you are updating costs for the Main Supplier. A similar window displays if you are updating costs for Alternative Suppliers 1 or 2.
The Sell Price Actions window displays when you use Manual Pricing to update a product's Gross Price and/or Regulator Discount and a duplicate Forward Price record for that product exists:
When one of the above windows displays you must enter an instruction as to what should be done about the duplicate Forward Price records. To do this:
1. Click the Main Supplier Action or Sell Price Action menu and select one of the following options:
Ignore: To ignore the Forward Price record being added (e.g. ignoring Gareth's changes, in the example above; so the price change - when applied - will set Product A's price or cost to 7.00 on June 30, as Mike requested, but still keep Gareth's update 'on file'.
Overwrite: To overwrite the older Forward Price record with the newer one (e.g. overwriting Mike's changes with Gareth's; so the price change - when applied - will set Product A's price or cost to 6.00 on June 30, as Gareth requested).
Merge: To combine the duplicate Forward Price records (e.g. both Mike's and Gareth's changes, in the example above) into one unique record.
Note: The Merge option is not available in the Sell Price Action menu.
2. Click OK. The price changes will be overwritten, merged or ignored on the Unapplied Forward Price Record, as specified.
Note: Remember - to actually apply price/cost updates added using Manual Pricing you will need to run the Apply Forward Prices Process. To view prices/costs which have been updated but not yet applied via the Apply Forward Prices Process see Viewing Unapplied Prices For A Product. Forward Price records may also be edited and deleted.
