Supplier Price Lists
Supplier price lists map your internal products to supplier-specific names and prices. This is essential for:
- Automatic invoice matching (when supplier product names differ from yours)
- Price comparison across vendors
- Purchase order cost estimation
CSV Format for Supplier Price Lists
| Column | Required | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
Supplier | Yes | Supplier company name | Morski Plodovi DOO |
Product SKU | Yes | Your internal product SKU | GF-RM-001 |
Unit Price | Yes | Supplier's price per unit | 800.00 |
Min Order Qty | No | Minimum order quantity | 5 |
Currency | No | Price currency | RSD |
Supplier Product Name | No | Supplier's name for the product | Lignje sveze, 1kg |
Supplier SKU | No | Supplier's article code | MP-LIG-01 |
Why Supplier Product Names Matter
Your internal product might be called "Lignje" (SKU: GF-RM-001), but your supplier calls it "Lignje sveze, 1kg" (SKU: MP-LIG-01). By mapping these in the price list:
- PDF invoices from this supplier are automatically matched to your products
- The system recognizes the supplier's naming convention
- Invoice items show both names for easy verification
Importing a Supplier Price List
- Navigate to Procurement > Supplier Price Lists
- Click Import CSV
- Upload your price list CSV
- Review the preview — the system shows which entries will be created or updated
- Confirm the import
Comparing Prices
To compare prices for the same product across different suppliers:
- Go to Procurement > Supplier Price Lists
- Use the Best Prices view
- Select a product to see all supplier prices side by side
- The lowest price is highlighted
Preferred Suppliers
When importing products, you can assign a preferred supplier in the Supplier column. This:
- Appears in the product details
- Is suggested when creating purchase orders
- Helps with automatic reordering workflows
Tips
- Keep price lists updated — when you receive an invoice with different prices, use the "Update Price" feature to sync automatically
- Use supplier SKUs — including supplier article codes dramatically improves PDF invoice matching accuracy
- Multiple suppliers per product — you can have price list entries from different suppliers for the same product
