In this section, we will show you how to create Buy Lists per Category and Self Managed Pricing Catalogues per supplier
This can be used as a workaround to link SAP Material Numbers with Purchase Plus Product IDs.
1. Navigate to [Catalogues] → [Buy Lists] create a new Buy List by clicking the green [+] button.
2. Name your Buy List and, if necessary, set a default Department and Account Code. Then click [Save].
3. Click on the [View] icon to view your new Buy List.
4. Add products to your Buy List by clicking the green [+] button.
In the pop-up window, make sure to uncheck [Priced Only], search for suitable description and click the [Hand Picker] icon to add it to the Buy List. Repeat until all products for the category are added.
Note - Unlike a regular Buy List, deselecting [Priced Only] is crucial, and selecting descriptions with 0/0 quotes is acceptable, as we will import the price and tax from each supplier in the Self Managed Pricing Catalogue.
Return to the [Catalogued Products] tab to see the products added to your Buy List..
6. If necessary: click into [Product Code] of each product line and enter your internal product reference/material number and click [Enter] to save.
Note - Entering your internal product reference/material number establishes a link between your reference number and the Purchase Plus ID, which is essential for using your internal product reference/material number for price update imports.
7. Under the [Catalogue Exports] tab, create an export by clicking the green [+ Catalogue Export] button.
Note - Refresh the page to find the completed Catalogue Export under [File Name]. You will need the [pp_product_id] to import your product price into the Self Managed Pricing Catalogue.

-
Column I [pack_price_ex_tax]
-
Column J [tax_percentage]
-
Column Q [pp_product_id]
Save file as Comma Separated Spreadsheet (.csv)..
5. Under the tab [Catalogue Import] import your file by clicking the green [+] button.
Choose your import file, delete previous items if applicable, schedule the import for a future date if needed, and select [Save].
Note - Refresh the page, you will be able to see the successful [Import Information] and any [Import Error file name]
