Product Sell Group/Vendor Pricing Structures File for Strategic Pricing

After exporting your data and working directly with Strategic Pricing Associates on your pricing analysis, Strategic Pricing Associates sends you a Product Sell Group/Vendor file that includes the following data. When you upload this file, the system creates and updates customer category/size sell matrix cells.

Note: If you subscribe to any Data Service, you receive this file from Strategic Pricing Associates one time only. Subscribe to the Pricing Service to continue to receive updates to this file.

If you subscribe to the Silver Data Services tier, the system processes only Core A and Core B rows in the file, and skips any Non-Core C and Non-Core D rows. If you subscribe to the Gold or Platinum Data Services tier, the system processes all rows in the file.

  • D - (Discount) The system processes it to use the Strategic List Price minus the value listed in the Factor field.

  • M - (Markup) The system processes it to use the Strategic Cost plus the value listed in the Factor field.

The value to add or subtract as the discount or addition to the calculation.

Uploading the contents of this file creates or updates matrix cells specific to a sell group. The pricing basis used for the cells is determined by the Factor Type in the import. If the Factor Type is D, the system uses Strgc List as the pricing basis. If the Factor Type is M or G, the system uses Strgc Cost as the pricing basis.
