For any company running SAP Business One that stocks and sells items, maintaining product pricing can be a challenge.  If you’re a distributor, your vendors or suppliers may periodically provide new price lists.  If you’re a manufacturer, internal costs may change item prices.  For quick and easy pricing updates, there is a way you can perform an import of the new prices.

When you have a new price list in an Excel spreadsheet or TXT file format, you can import Price List data to a company database in SAP Business One. The data is copied from the cells of the Microsoft Excel table and written to the corresponding fields in SAP Business One.
Use this method to add new records or to update existing records.

You must first configure the definitions for the import, according to the following rules:
  • Files must not contain a title row or any blank rows.
  • Business partner and item numbers must not contain any of the following invalid characters:  ! < > * ? % { } = 
  • Microsoft Excel files must be closed before the import.
  • Microsoft Excel files must be saved as TXT files.
  • The number of characters in the cells of the Microsoft Excel table must not be greater than the length of the corresponding fields in SAP Business One.
Prerequisites
  • You have backed up the database.
  • If SAP Business One is running on a network, you have ensured that other users will be logged off the system during the import.
