Large Scale Multiple Price Level and Quantity Pricing Management

NetSuite customers who require automated item pricing updates and are using multiple price levels and quantity based pricing had to do it manually. Now, with NetSuite's Web Services, those companies are able to manage their pricing based on both price level and quantity for existing items as well as, during the import of new items. Changing pricing for some or all price levels, as well as adding or removing quantity breaks are supported. With a small amount of custom development a NetSuite customer can now enter their pricing into a standardized Excel file, make pricing changes and then upload that Excel file to a utility that will automatically update their pricing in NetSuite. With the new NetSuite Web Services functionality, any customer can easily manage their pricing and keep pace with a dynamic marketplace.
