Mass Uploading Products to a Price Book
Apr 27, 2005
There’s a
great post on the message boards about adding products to a standard
price book using Ron Hess’s Excel
Sforce Connector.
The highlights are below but you can also click here to read the full thread.
To add
products to the Standard Price Book, you have to add entries to the
'PricebookEntry' table.
The table contains three id fields:
Price Book Entry ID
Price Book ID
Product ID
The Pricebook ID is of the Standard Price Book which you can get from querying
the Pricebook2 table. The Product ID is of the Product you want to add and you can get that from the
Product2 table. The Pricebook Entry ID value is 'new'.
Fill out the rest of the table as needed (List Price, Active, Use Standard
Price, Currency). If you need a product with 2 currencies, add the product
again to the PriceBook Entry book and just change the currency field.

Please do not use my email for anything else. Please could a sales rep contact me in reagards to pricing of your products

Thanbk you. The original instructions made it appear that I had to populate pricebook2 before priceentry table. I knew that was not impossible. You just confirmed it with this information.
