Vendor Price & Cost Update Management for Epicor Prophet 21
Your supplier sent an update. How much work comes next?
Supplier price changes create work across purchasing, sales, and pricing. MindHARBOR helps Prophet 21 users manage that process—from preparing vendor data and reviewing exceptions to coordinating cost changes, customer pricing, and effective dates.
We tailor the workflow around your business, bringing experience and reusable tools from previous custom projects.
Manage the Full Price & Cost Update Process
Receiving a supplier file is just the beginning. Your team still needs to match items, validate changes, resolve exceptions, and determine how updated costs should affect selling prices and margins.
We can build supporting tools for those steps, including scheduled processing and review workflows tailored to your requirements.
Connect Supplier Costs to Customer Pricing
A supplier cost change can affect what you charge—and what you earn.
We can help connect supplier updates to your customer pricing rules, including the calculations and review steps your team uses to manage margins.
Related projects have also identified customers affected by price increases and generated customer notices with supporting quote documents.
The goal is to reduce the separate work between receiving a supplier update and putting the appropriate changes into use.
Contracts, Terms & Supplier Information
Our supplier management projects have included tools for contracts, vendor terms and conditions, and related supplier information.
Depending on your needs, those tools can be brought together with price list management so your team has fewer separate files and processes to maintain.
We can review what belongs in P21, what needs a supporting portal, and how the information should stay connected.
Product Data & Images
Supplier updates may also include descriptions, specifications, images, and other product information.
We’ve developed related product data and Product Information Management (PIM) tools to help teams organize and manage that information.
A project can focus on price updates alone or expand to include the product data your sales, purchasing, and ecommerce teams depend on.
Supplier Scorecards & Quality Information
Related supplier management projects have included quality assurance information and vendor scorecards and grading.
We can discuss which measures matter to your business, where that information comes from, and how your team needs to review it.
These are capabilities from different custom projects. We scope the combination around your requirements.
Start With the Work That Takes Too Long
You don’t need to tackle every supplier process at once.
A useful starting point might be one recurring price list, one difficult file format, or one update process that takes your team several hours each month.
We bring experience and reusable approaches to each engagement, then tailor the workflow to your business.
Using another ERP? We can review your supplier files, pricing process, and integration options to discuss a similar approach.
Show Us Your Supplier Update Process
Bring a sample file, explain what your team does with it, and tell us where the manual work or exceptions pile up.
We can help identify a practical starting point.
Fix. Build. Bridge.
