HD - Updating Harley P&A/General Merchandise pricing from DHDC

Here's how the user will learn how to successfully update their DHDC price files:

1. Find out what vendor code is used for Deeley HD parts by going to the Parts Inventory find screen and looking for 10014 - note the vendor code of the part
2. From the home screen select System Maintenance
3. Select Tools->Update Part Inventory

5. Select HD Canada from the vendor dropdown

7. Uncheck the date checkbox if you want all parts updated to current replacement costs and prices in the “Update Since” date field and checkbox

Note: Your Average Costs will not be updated! If unchecked, the download will take approx. half an hour and the update processing will take another 3/4 of an hour because the file size is very large.

Set the checkboxes in the Import Settings section as follows:

• Update Standard Price - check this if you want the Standard Price (your price) to equal the MSRP.

Note: The Part Inventory Price Change Report will tell you what has changed in price for re-labeling. This is very important for displayed items. If you want to leave Standard Price at the old prices, leave it unchecked (the 7/23/2005 MSRP's went down so leaving it unchecked earns more margin on the sale of existing stock)

• Set New Parts to Inactive - leave this unchecked. New parts should be active
• Set New Parts to Non Stock - check this selection. New parts should be non-stock until you determine sale pattern and requirements for stocking
• Set New Parts to Auto Reorder - leave this unchecked. New parts should not be set to Auto Reorder until you determine sale pattern and requirements for stocking

If the Vendor Code is not correct (doesn’t match the vendor), this can create problems, as all new downloaded parts will be associated to the incorrect vendor. This is only reversible at the database level and requires cleanup from the DealerVu support department.
