Managing vendor prices#

When you import prices for an existing vendor, you have the option to delete all of that vendor’s current prices before importing the new ones. This page explains what that option does and when it makes sense to use it.

The “delete all prices” option#

When you select an existing vendor during the import process, Fillet gives you the option to delete all prices currently on file for that vendor before importing.

If you select this option, the following happens in order:

1. All existing prices for the selected vendor are deleted.
2. The prices in your CSV file are imported for that vendor.

These two steps happen together as a single operation — there is no in-between state where the vendor has no prices.

This action cannot be undone. Once triggered, the old prices are gone.

When to use it#

Use this option when you want to completely replace a vendor’s prices — for example, when a supplier sends you a new price list and none of the old prices are valid anymore.

Do not use it if you only want to add new prices or update a subset of prices. In that case, leave the option off and let the import add to the vendor’s existing prices. You can then delete individual outdated prices manually afterwards.

Effect on ingredients#

Deleting all prices for a vendor only removes the prices — it does not delete the ingredients themselves. Ingredients that no longer have any prices remain in your account. They can still be used in recipes and menu items, but will show a costing warning wherever cost calculations depend on them.

If you don’t see your vendor#

When selecting a vendor during import, if the vendor you want does not appear in the list, check that your data is up to date: go to the Sync tab in the web app and pull the latest data, then return to the import.
