The Price File Upload feature is used to upload price books from private vendors outside DX1's Public Price files. You may create new price books or update current price files. Prior to uploading a price file you must do three steps:

• Create a Vendor for a Parts and Accessories Supplier                                 
• Create a Private Catalog for that vendor, selecting a default category for all the parts to fall under                              
• Attain a price file for that vendor, in any format.                  

Navigate to the Dashboard.

Select the Inventory Management tile from the "Parts and Accessories" tile set.

    If active, users may also click on Inventory Management favorites tile. 

Note: To add the favorites tile, click the link below

NOTE:                                 

• If a private price file is missing fields, you may elect to not include those fields in the upload by ensuring the checkbox is unchecked. Also, If a price file has some missing information in fields that are selected, DX1 will leave that field blank for the missing information.
•                                     
•  If you elect to not include the Category field, DX1 will default to the Category in the Vendor tile.                                

TOOL TIP:

Bringing in a new product?  As some dealerships bring in new products they can often be bombarded with parts as the first order enters the dealership. You can assign bin locations for this new product here so that when you receive the parts, they already have a location in the dealership to be stored.

Click Upload.

Uploading can take up to 24 hours depending on the size of the file. At this point, DX1 will add this price book to the upload page. You are able to navigate away from this page without interrupting the upload.
