The Export sales price lists app is a batch application. It exports item price lists and prices to selected sales channels.

In Sales price lists application, it is possible to create a price list with future validity date and validity period individual for each item (after selecting the Accept validity period parameter).

In Sales channels application → B2B and B2C tabs → Sales price listing field available under the Multi-channel sales framework, it is possible to add separate price lists for B2B and B2C customers, if a sales channel is of B2B&B2C type. Visibility of particular prices to a customer in a third-party system depends on whether company details are provided during registration of customer account.

The following conditions need to be met for price lists to export successfully:

• an item must have sales date (Sales view) and accounting data (Financials view) specified
• a sales price list needs to be created in the Sales price lists application and then assigned to a sales price listing in the Purchase price listings application. The listing should be added to the sales channel to which prices are to be exported.
• items for which prices are to be exported already need to exist in the sales channel (they should be exported earlier)

After the prices are exported successfully, they will be available for items in the external system.

The application is a dialog window, which is typical for batch applications. It consists of Application and Batch settings tabs divided into sections and subsequent tabs.

  • make sure that the customer groups exist both in Comarch ERP Enterprise system and in the online shop Magento
  • assign a price list to the price listing of the sales channel
  • assign customers to a respective customer group (e.g., in the shop administrator dashboard)
  • export price lists via the Export sales price lists application

For prices to be transferred correctly for individual customers, the data below needs to be exported in the following order:

• selected views of the Sales price lists application: Item
