Benefits of the module:
Your client can login and
get the price you've negotiated or assigned to them. You can have unlimited
amount of price lists. In other words: Client A can get Product A for $99.95.
Client B can get Product A for $109.95 while the customer that hasn't negotiated
with you and logs in, or not, gets the default price of Product A at $129.95.
How module works:
Admin:
During install, the module
creates example files, customer.dat and pricelist.dat. The Admin or store operator
edits these files and places them back in the IDS_WHOLESALE folder -- probably
via FTP. You add Customer logins and a price list filename to the customer.dat
file. The customer.dat filename is assigned in the System admin. Also, the filename
doesn't have to be customer.dat. On Linux/Unix(and maybe some Winserver configs),
you will need to beware of case in the filenames. We suggest to keep lowercase
filenames.
The pricelist.dat is the
referenced file that stores the prices of any or all the products available
to this list. There can be more than one list -- as many as you need. The customer.dat
points the specific user to a a specific list. The list stores specific prices
to specific products.There is no calculation in terms of percentages, etc.
End User:
When your customer/client
logs in, they will see the product price display based on the assigned list.
If the user is in the customer.dat file with an assigned pricelist filename,
product price will be from the price list instead of the MM product database.
If a product is NOT in the assigned list, the products displayed price will
be the default from the stores product database. If the user isn't in your customer.dat,
they will only see default pricing from the stores products database.
