Hi all,
Is there a way of adding a discount to all parts for a supplier where an active price list exists in SFPP (without running a script)? With the recent use of price lists in SFPP this seems to have taken precedence over the discount set at supplier level. Can supplier agreements be used for this? If anyone has done this before or has any thoughts, it would be much appreciated!
No, not that we’ve found. Updating existing price list lines is actually problematic in large groups because the natural IFS method wants the existing line to be phased out and a new line added with a new effectivity date. Where we use price lists, we end up needing a script to remove and re-add the lines with the new price. We don’t care to retain the history and having multiple lines with different prices and the same quantity point proved confusing for the users, so we like to have only the most current price against the part.
We only use supplier agreements where there is just that, an agreement with the supplier to hold the price for a certain quantity.
Price lists serve a different function really because they don’t necessarily represent a contract with the supplier, just the breaks they’ve given for certain quantities, but they are actually subject to change at the desire of the supplier. Whereas a supplier agreement will be held valid for a time or quantity.

Can an assortment not be used for a supplier with a purchase agreement, as this supplier has all parts discounted at a certain rate? This would also mean the price list wouldn’t need updated once a price changes.
