Why is it that creating a price group for all products in the store requires products to be added one by one. I only have 200 products and it makes me blind with rage to confront this illogical obstacle. Pity the store with several thousand products.

The down side to the system as I remember is that if you add more products you will need to remember to add them to the price group.Last edited by Mark Hood; 09-19-15, 07:02 AM.Mark Hood

Select All then click the + icon (assign records) It will change all the toggles

I do agree on your second part thoughLast edited by Mark Hood; 09-19-15, 09:08 AM.Mark Hood

Re: Price Group Tedium
Thanks Mark! You're right. I missed the + icon.
I only use price groups for one purpose, to give myself a 100% discount on all products. One of the steps in adding a new product is to add it to the price group so an "Include All Products" feature would be great. I imagine that the majority of price groups used in other stores would also benefit from such a feature.Last edited by SunCam; 09-19-15, 10:34 AM.

Re: Price Group Tedium
We use Wieland's Price Group Manager to do this and it works great. We don't have to do anything. It just automatically assigns all products to our 5 default price groups. PLUS, you can do so many other things with Price Groups.

And, this works with MM9 and the new price group features built into MM9?
I am asking because I've asked about import/export for the price and availability group's products and customers on the thread within my post to Leslie above, plus tried to find answers on other threads on the forum, and got no other solutions, and this module was never mentioned either. Just wondered why.

Re: Price Group Tedium
Someone with more knowledge than myself might be able to chime in here, but we have Miva 9.0004 and haven't had any problems with the module since converting to Miva 9. It works beautifully for us. We use price groups a lot.
That being said there is always the chance you may want to do something different with price groups that we do.Brandon Lubbert

Re: Price Group Tedium
Thanks for the reply Brandon! It sure does sound promising. We set up our price and availability groups up within 9.0004. I imagine they are pretty standard to what those groups were used for previously.
If anyone has any reason that the module wouldn't work for the import/export of those groups, products or customers, I'd sure like to know.

Re: Price Group Tedium
Okey, dokey...still looking for a concrete answer. Will this module work with the MM9 price groups without any issues?
I'd really like to know, since a client is interested in it.

Just encase someone else wants a fairly straight forward way to assign products to different price groups, you can use the CONCATENATE function in excel to add a code PG10_ to the product name which is then searchable from within the price groups, import and assign, then remove the code using the find and replace and re import, pretty quick, and I see the SKU field is also searchable so you could use that field perhaps for a more permanent recordSteve Gerard
