Step 1: Change base prices
Before updating your price lists, it's essential to start with the base price of your products. You'll find this in the “Prices, taxes and customs” section of the files.
Why start with the base price, and not the price list?
Because the price list is then attached to the base price, in order to calculate the NET AP by applying discounts and taxes. Without a base price: the calculation cannot be made when the price descent is attached.
Good news! The base price can be updated at once for your entire catalog. You don't have to go into each product file to enter it manually.
We invite you to consult our article on Bulk Update to manage this step.
Adding a start and end date to the base price is not mandatory. However, you must specify the “Target recipient” field.
Step 2: Renew Taxes
Still in the “Prices, taxes and customs” section, look for the section dedicated to taxes. You'll need to enter the tax(s) (e.g. eco-packaging tax) applied to your products for the coming year. This information can also be updated using Bulk Update .
In France, retailers do not manage identical taxes valid for different periods.
When switching to N+1 taxes, you must update the existing taxes for year N and not add a new line for future taxes.
Important: is the tax you enter included in the base price?
If so, this means that it has already been calculated in the base price you entered above. You don't need to include it in the price list.
If no, it means that your customer is responsible for it: it must be included in the price breakdown.
Tax included in base price
You don't need to enter it in the price list.
Tax not included in base price
You will need to enter the tax in the price list, under PA NET.

If you don't enter a base price in your product files, you'll encounter red boxes that block your pricing model. We invite you to follow step 1 of this guide beforehand.
If taxes are not included in the base price of your products, don't forget to enter them in the price list (see previous section).
Step 4: Publish
We've done it! You've updated your base prices and price lists.
In the product master record, select the head office to which you wish to publish your new data.
You will then find the new price in the “Tariff” section.
All that's left to do is publish your plugs to the power stations of your choice.
