Vendor Part Pricing: Setup and Overview

Learn what Vendor Part Pricing is and how to configure it for a vendor so retail prices stay consistent with your desired markup or margin.

Vendor Part Pricing lets you automatically calculate the retail price for all parts supplied by a specific vendor. This article explains how the feature works and walks through the steps to configure it.

What is Vendor Part Pricing

Vendor Part Pricing allows the dealership to automatically set the retail price for all parts supplied by a particular vendor. When Vendor Part Pricing is configured, any change made to the cost or MSRP for a part triggers the automatic pricing calculation to produce a new retail price.

This means that whenever part records are updated — whether by a price file upload, a vendor receiving or invoicing cost update, or a manual edit — the Vendor Part Pricing setting will always apply your desired markup or margin automatically.

How to Set Up Vendor Part Pricing

  • Markup of 7% from $2,000.01 to unlimited

Once you are happy with the Part Pricing setup, click Save.

  1. After saving, the retail price for all parts associated with the vendor will automatically update to reflect the new Part Pricing configuration. Going forward, any new price file uploaded for the vendor will also trigger automatic retail price updates based on these settings.

Keep in mind that if you upload a new price file, the retail prices for all affected parts may not update immediately — it can take some time to process, particularly if a large number of parts are linked to that vendor.
