#DataTipOfTheDay 2011-07-07Q: "Why can't I show a Product's Standard List Price directly on the Product record?"
A: Heck if I know. I wrote a workaround: a trigger that writes the Standard Price Book's List Price directly onto the Product record.* There's one version for single-currency orgs, another version for multi-currency orgs. Open source! Share and enjoy!
* IMPORTANT WARNING: this trigger is on PRODUCT, not Pricebook Entry. If you update a List Price in the Standard Pricebook, you then need to update the Product for the new price to appear.
The update can be trivial: - if you're looking at a Product record in the UI, you can click "Edit" and then immediately click "Save".
- if you're using Data Loader's Update command, you can provide a CSV that contains a single column of Product IDs.
Thanks to Marleene Nolan for the idea! |
