Purchasing - Prices per supplier

Updated over 4 months ago

💡 If the purchase prices from your standard supplier are known, you can record them in a price list linked to that supplier. As soon as you create a new purchase order, the prices will automatically be added to the selected products.

💡 You can only include a product once in an active price list for the same supplier.

⇢ Go to Purchasing – Prices and select Per supplier.

  • Click the green plus icon to create a new price list for a supplier.

  • Click on a price list line to edit prices or add a product to a price list.

  • Click the green duplicate icon on a price list line to duplicate a price list.

Create a New Supplier Price List

General data

  • Name: typically includes the supplier and the period during which the price list is valid. Optionally, you can also mention a product category if you split price lists by category.

  • Start date: the date when this price list becomes active. The order date of a purchase order is used to determine the correct price list. This date can be in the future, which allows you to set new, upcoming prices in advance.

  • End date: the date when this price list will no longer be active.

💡 Once the end date has passed, the price list will be set to inactive and Douano will no longer load prices from it into purchase orders.

💡 You can reactivate a price list by setting a new end date in the future, or you can duplicate the price list to create a new active one. Duplicating has the advantage of keeping an archive of past prices per supplier, providing insight into price increases.

  • Supplier: the supplier for whom the prices are set.

Purchase prices

  • Product: the product must have an active status and be marked as Can be purchased to appear in this list. An empty line is added automatically as soon as a line is filled in.

  • Supplier item code: optionally, enter the supplier’s item number.

  • Price excl. excise, VAT: unit price excluding VAT and excise duties. If you update this price, the Price excl. VAT will be updated automatically.

💡 This price is leading: if excise tariffs change, this price remains unchanged.

  • Excise: the excise amount applicable to the product. This amount is automatically calculated by Douano based on the product definition.

  • Price excl. VAT: unit price excluding VAT but including excise duties.

💡 If you change this price, the Price excl. excise, VAT will be updated automatically. This price is indicative: if excise tariffs change, this price will also change.

💡 If goods are received under suspension, no excise will be charged.

Duplicating a Supplier Price List

💡 Once a price list is inactive, you can duplicate it to create a new active price list for the same supplier, possibly with different products than in the existing list.

💡 If you purchase products from multiple suppliers, you can also duplicate an existing price list (with all products and prices included) and assign it to another supplier.

⇢ To duplicate a price list, click the green duplicate icon on the price list line.

General data

  • Name: update the name of the price list (e.g., by adding a year or referencing another supplier).

  • Start date: the date when the duplicated price list becomes active.

  • End date: the date when this price list will no longer be active.

  • Supplier: select another supplier if needed.

Optional price adjustment

💡 When duplicating, Douano can automatically increase or decrease all product prices in the list.

💡 Skip this step if prices remain unchanged or if you plan to update them manually afterwards.

  • Adjustment type: choose whether to apply an increase or decrease.

  • Adjustment method: choose between a percentage or absolute adjustment.

  • Adjustment value: enter the percentage (%) or amount (€), depending on your choice above.

Filter (optional)

  • With this filter you can choose to only transfer products with a specific status.

💡 For example, you can filter so that only products with an active status are transferred.
