The function chooses one of two working modes depending on what is in the import list:
- Update per article group (when the import does not contain article numbers)
- Update per specific article (when the import contains article numbers)
1. Update per article group
If the import list lacks article numbers, the update is done per article group.
The system finds all articles that belong to the same article group in the database.
For each such article, the system recalculates the net price based on the article’s gross price and the percentage of the import.
- Gross price = list price
- The import specifies a percentage (which acts as a discount/deduction)
- Net price = gross price minus that percentage of the gross price
2. Update per specific article
If the import list has article numbers, the update is done per article.
Then the system works in batches (so as not to take too much at once), and for each article in the import.
- The system looks up the article with the same article number in the database and updates the price of the article – but with one important rule: 0 in price means that the price does not change.
- If the import has net price = 0, then the net price is left as it was.
- If the import has gross price = 0, then the gross price is left as it was.
Regarding last modified
When you have uploaded an article register via the Upload Register function, you will only see the date of that update in list mode.
The last modified date on the article record itself will not change.
