Cost Overrides

This feature grants you the ability to import your distributor cost. The E-Commerce Configuration does not provide cost since each dealer has a different cost from the distributor.

The main purpose of this feature is to perform calculations of "Cost Plus X" on your Pricing Rules.

To begin with, browse to File Center from the main navigation bar.

Step 1 - Download Template

On the left-hand menu under Cost Overrides, click "Client: Import Cost Overrides".

This will take you to a window where you can download a compatible file template by clicking the blue hyperlink.

Step 2 - Populate Template with Data

This template has three (3) columns. Below we offer an explanation of what each column header represents.

Catalog.name

The catalog where the SKU that you are overriding exists. Must be one of AFTERMARKET, OEM, PRIVATE

DistributorPart.distributor_sku

The SKU from the distributor but in the E-Commerce Configuration’s format with the proper prefix. TR, WP, AU, etc.

If you are unsure what the correct format or prefix is please visit this article pertaining to the Aftermarket Catalog and distributor prefixes.

Correct way = 43.99 Wrong way = $43.99

Correct way = 87.00 Wrong way = 87

Step 3 - Upload Your Data

When you click "Client: Import Price Overrides" you will see "Choose File" next to File Upload. Click this button to locate the file on your computer. Double click your file and it will be ready to go.

Step 4 - Monitor Job Processing

You will want to monitor the job that you just ran in File Center as it will be in a Pending or Processing status until the system has completed it. These jobs typically take 30-60 minutes depending on the size of the csv file.

Once finished you will see it Completed or Complete w/ Warnings. Click on the job and you will have access to a Processing Report. Open the report and the success or failure of each line item will be reported.
