Importing Pricing Rules

[pslancaster]

How do I go about importing pricing rules, I cannot see how to do this using the Dataport. We have an external tool that can create pricing breaks and update price based on exchange rate changes, our intention is to output the suitable fields to a csv or xml file and import.

In order to get XML information you needed for pricing rules, first create some sample product in application then create some pricing rules for it. Finally export that product in XML format using DataPort product export feature. Then inspect the outputted XML for that specific product. It will contain all necessary information about data and format of pricing rules.

Thanks, so from your ommission you are saying this is only possible using XML, not CSV? We would much prefer CSV.
I have previously done what you suggested and exported XML and can see the price setup but I don't have a good way of managing XML in table formats; do you have any recommendations of a tool that could be used.
ie: we need to do bulk updates in a table (have been using excel) and import them back in again. Could be price variation, a new set of images etc.

Try XML MARKER to edit XML in tabular format. Its a good utility tool.
