This option allows you to import a tab-delimited file that updates Tiered Retail prices using barcode in your Head Office database. These prices will flow down to the pharmacies in your Multi-store group in real-time, not at the time set for Tiered pricing.

The import options are:

  • Retail Price - this is Tier 1
  • Tier 2 Retail Price
  • Tier 3 Retail Price


Before using the Import Product Attribute By Barcode utility:

  • Inform the pharmacies in your group, as the price change will flow down in 'real time', the import facility does NOT take the Tiered Pricing time set in Update Manager
  • Do a manual back up, refer to Back up your Minfos database manually for instructions, this is so you can revert to your original pricing if required


After using the Import Product Attributes By Barcode utility:


Run the Import Product Attributes By Barcode utility:

Once you have prepared and saved the tab-delimited file.
