Purpose

This page explains how FurnitureDealer.Net manages the upload and maintenance of your pricing data on Furnish Near Me, and how multiple versions of a pricelist can be used to handle regional, preferred, or program-specific pricing.

Each manufacturer on Furnish Near Me provides one or more pricelists that define their Wholesale, MSRP, and MAP values.

FurnitureDealer.Net manages the upload process, version tracking, and retailer connections for these pricelists.

Manufacturers work with our team to supply data in the proper format and ensure it stays current. When a new version of a pricelist is uploaded, all connected retailers using that list automatically receive the updated pricing.

FurnitureDealer.Net handles all uploads on behalf of manufacturers. You provide updated data directly to our team—either through regular scheduled updates or as needed.

How it works:

• Manufacturer provides updated pricing file

  • Typically includes wholesale, MSRP, and/or MAP values for all active SKUs.

• FurnitureDealer.Net validates and uploads the new version

  • Data is checked for structure and completeness.

• Retailers connected to that pricelist see new pricing automatically

  • No manual action is needed from the retailer or rep.

Tip:

Regular updates—at least quarterly—help maintain accuracy and avoid confusion in retailer price calculations.

Every upload replaces the previous version of that pricelist. The latest version becomes the active record used by retailers and sales reps.

If a pricelist contains multiple price types (e.g., wholesale and MAP), all values are updated together when a new version is uploaded.

Example:

You provide a “Standard Wholesale” pricelist each quarter.

When Q2 pricing is uploaded, Q1 pricing is automatically archived and replaced across all connected retailers.

This system ensures that everyone—manufacturers, reps, and retailers—works from the same current data set.

Manufacturers can maintain more than one active pricelist when different versions are needed for specific programs or regions.

Common scenarios include:

• Regional pricing: East Coast and West Coast cost differences

• Preferred dealer programs: Volume-based or loyalty discounts

• Promotional pricing: Temporary limited-time programs

When multiple pricelists exist, Furnish Near Me follows a defined hierarchy to determine which version applies for each retailer:

1. Retailer-specific override – If a retailer is directly assigned a specific pricelist, that version always applies.

2. Manufacturer-selected default – The default version applies to all other retailers who don’t have a custom assignment.

Example:

A retailer in California is assigned the “West Coast Wholesale” pricelist, while all others default to “Standard Wholesale.”

If the manufacturer later updates both lists, the correct version continues to apply automatically for each retailer.

This structure makes it possible to maintain flexibility while avoiding pricing conflicts or duplication.

Manufacturers and sales reps (when permissions allow) can see which pricelist version each retailer is currently using.

• Manufacturer admins can set the default pricelist for all retailers.

• Sales reps can assign pricelists to their retailers within their territories.

• Retailers can view which pricelist they are connected to but cannot modify assignments unless explicitly allowed.

This visibility ensures everyone understands which pricing applies to which relationships.

Why it matters:

When all parties can see and confirm which pricelist version is in effect, pricing disputes and confusion are greatly reduced.

When a pricelist is replaced or removed, the system automatically updates retailer access.

• If replaced: Retailers using that list instantly receive the new pricing.

• If removed: Retailers lose visibility to those values until a new list is assigned.

FurnitureDealer.Net coordinates these changes to prevent service gaps and can assist with retailer communication when major updates occur.

Tip:

Before discontinuing a pricelist, confirm that each connected retailer has been reassigned to another version.

• Keep pricelist data organized by version and clearly labeled (e.g., “Standard Wholesale 2025 Q2”).

• Communicate with FDN before major price structure changes.

• Maintain consistent price types across versions to prevent data mismatches.

• Review retailer assignments annually to ensure correct version alignment.

Why it matters:

Consistent version management ensures retailers always see accurate, current information—making your brand easier to do business with and helping retailers confidently sell your products.
