Was / Now pricing
Purpose and scope
Was / Now pricing allows you to highlight visible savings on items during certain sales events.
Was / Now pricing is available as standard if the following ERP-dependent criteria are met:
Intact iQ when using selling bands for comparative price
SAP Business One when using user-defined field (UDF) for comparative price
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central when using standard items table data.
For any other configuration (such as using custom fields, calculated methods or external add-ons) or ERP, it is available as a customization (and charges may apply to implement it).
The purpose of this feature guide is to explain how to set this feature up and how it is displayed in WebShop.
Benefits

Step by step
Step 1: Configure your ERP to include Was / Now pricing
The price list in your ERP contains the standard price for each of a group of associated items. An item can belong to more than one price list.
To configure your ERP to allow for Was / Now pricing, create two price lists with the same set of products; the first list has the Was price, the second list has the Now price.
Key points
Typically, the Now price is the live price that is obtained from your ERP in real-time.
The Was price is only displayed if it is strictly less than than the Now price.
Link the price lists to the customers you wish to offer Was / No pricing to.
Step 2: Contact us to switch feature on
Contact us to switch the Was / Now pricing feature on for you.
When it is switched on, the web service calls retrieve both the previous and current prices for the specific items. Both prices are displayed as shown in your WebShop on the product listing and product details pages.
