Cost prices along with the other vendor attributes can be updated from a Purchase Order to Catalog in two different ways.

  • When you create a Purchase Order or When you edit a Purchase Order

  • In a Purchase Order

When you create a Purchase Order or When you edit a Purchase Order

Note: this option will update all vendor attributes from Purchase Order to Catalog. If you want to select a specific vendor attribute, please check the next option.

Inventory Planner pulls vendor attributes from your connected platform if we can integrate.

Please see our field mapping page - https://inventory-planner.com/integrations.

Here is the list of vendor attributes.

  • Cost Price

  • Landing Cost Price

  • Vendor Reference

  • Vendor Product Name

  • UOM

  • MOQ

When you create a Purchase order, you can update the new cost price or other new attributes from the purchase order.

Before you save the purchase order, you can tick the 'Update vendor attributes for line items variants' box.

This will allow you to update the vendor attributes from the Purchase Order to Catalog.

It works the same way if you click on 'Edit' on a Purchase Order.

Once you add the new cost price, you can tick the 'Update vendor attributes for line items variants' box.

In a Purchase Order(The purchase order is already created or synced from your connected platform.)

When you have already created or synced a purchase order with a new cost price, you have the option to update it to Catalog as well.

In a Purchase Order, 'Update vendor attributes for line items variants' option can be found in Actions.

Once you click on it, you will see all vendor attribute options you can update.

This will allow you to choose which attributes can be updated to Catalog.

Note: By default, we sync vendor attributes directly from your connected platform if applicable. This option would work for the customer who manages their vendor attributes in Inventory Planner.

If the vendor attributes are synced directly from your connected platform, the next nightly sync will override the update.

Please contact support to update your setting, if you would like to manage vendor attributes directly in Inventory Planner.

Extra information: How to reload the vendor attributes from Catalog to a Purchase Order.

Note: This will only be available when you can edit a Purchase Order. A purchase order can be edited if you manage it in Inventory Planner.

You may want to update your cost price or other vendor attributes from Catalog to a Purchase Order.

When you go to a Purchase Order and edit, you will see 'Reload' option in Actions.

If you click the option, you can reload Vendor settings which you can pull such as Cost prices, Vendor references from your Catalog.

This option can also reload other fields such as Title, SKU, Barcode, etc.
