Changing the supplier cost price

Under Consideration

I started a comment on Facebook last night and it seems many people have the same question. Why can we not over-ride the supplier cost price on copied products or add a supplier base price on our own custom products.

By being able to do this we can control our profit and loss reports making deco invaluable.

Right now the only solution is to use markup % but when a price is lower than the supplier price you cannot mark down %

We need to put in a cost price (from the supplier) then a price (to charge affiliate stores) 

Please add this feature as it seems like a very simple fix and ask.

    I´m asking my self at the moment could you export your copied produkt to a csv file change the price in the file and import it again to override the price?


    Edit: Ok, never mind I checked it myself. This is a pain. If I export the product, it generates a different CSV format than the one required for importing the product via CSV import.



    The top one is the import file I used to import our supplier products. It requires a completely different mapping. In the lower one, you can see what you get from the product export in Deconetwork.

    I thought maybe there could be a workaround to update the prices this way. It is still possible, but you would have to map the products by hand, which is overwhelming, I think.

    It looks like Deconetwork already provides the functionality you mentioned, as I’m currently able to configure SKU pricing and retail/end-customer pricing directly in the interface.

    However, I’m not sure whether this feature was added recently. If your post was from 26 days ago, it’s possible that these options were not yet available at that time.

    From what I can see in the interface, prices can be configured directly without needing to export and re-import the product.

    I copied a product from our list to test the scenario you described, and I was able to adjust the SKU pricing and retail/end-customer pricing without any issues.

    Where do you find the file format needed to upload the product into Deco?  Being in Canada, they offer very few catalogues and we have to adjust pricing.  We have found no simple way to adjust the american catalogue pricing to CDN funds.  Wondering what we're missing
