As a commercial importer of lighting products from all over the world, we also distribute in all of North America. In the past uploading Price lists and modifying our prices was once or twice a year during the beginning of the year. We only used to upload current inventory or requested inventory items into Acumatica. This was a 6 transaction event for each product due to currencies, landing factors, shipping and duties.
However as we have grown we need to upload all our vendor price lists. This did not seem to be an issue: until the world changed this January and pricing needs to be updated monthly. I cannot express the frustration of having to update prices and as a result we are being choked and asked to upgrade to large enterprise level “no Limits” licenses.
We are a small/medium size business and ave spent over 500k getting Acumatica to work for our business. I want to see if others are having the same issue, there should be allowed a scheduled server downtime to upload, update or add items into the database that does not choke our allocated ERP transactions. I have no issue paying a reasonable fee, but we are beeing asked to upgrade by 20% to accommodate this situation.
How do other small businesses with large item lists operate? We have almost 200K items that when we update x6 transactions it can be 300k ERP transactions a month due to current market changes.
