5Yamaha have published a new price file which includes very dramatic changes in pricing.

C9 cautions care with installing this price file with respect to existing stocking to minimise risk of losses.

For example, part 90176-10078 (NUT, CROWN) which fits a large number of bikes.

Prior to today, the part's RRP was 16.27+GST.  To buy it on stock it cost 9.52

Today, that same part's RRP is now 10.84+GST.

So to sell this part at todays prices for a part you brought a week ago, your margin has shrunk from 70% to 14%. Factoring in typical fixed costs, it is now a loss.

To help mitigate this, c9 contains some tooling which you can use to set pricing at prior RRP. Suggest you set pricing at prior RRP, and then over a few months revise pricing as you cycle stock through and purchase stock at newer, cheaper price.

Downside of this tooling is that you can only do this one part at a time. But you can click the button quickly to move through all your stocked items

• Spares -> Reports -> items repriced.

C9 will look to rush modifications to be ready later today so that you can reprice anything whose price has lowered as a simple bulk operation.  More details to come. [ Update: 5.2.41 version introduces a bulk price change option in items repriced report. Does exactly what it says on the packaging. ]
