In the interworks.cloud platform, you can update the pricing of your Adobe VIP MP products by following the below guide. |
Importing the Adobe Products and Base Prices in the BSS Platform
The first step before creating or updating the Adobe products automatically to the platform, via the Get Services Definition process, is to add to the Adobe Service Manager their base prices by uploading the respective Adobe Excel File (Commercial, Education, Government) to the respective fields. To do this, one must download the Excel file that is issued to all the distributors of Adobe each month.
Downloading the Official Adobe Excel File Containing Products & Base Prices
Each distributor has his own set of SKUs & prices that he sells from Adobe, which can be found in the Excel spreadsheet file that can be downloaded from the "Adobe Partner Portal".
You have to log in with your credentials as a Distributor, and then you can download the Excel with the products and the prices from the indicated section:
The Excel file contains the distributor’s cost & sell base prices with no margin or markup included.
Uploading the Adobe Price List File to the Adobe VIP MP Service Manager
After you have downloaded the Official Adobe Excel file (for commercial products), you must import it inside the COM Pricing File field of the platform's Adobe VIP MP Service Manager.
You just have to click on the Browse button and then locate and choose the Official Adobe Excel file from your computer system.
Make sure that the currencies inside the official Adobe Excel price list(s) you are uploading are also selected under the Products Selling Currencies field of the instance.
After importing the file, you have to click on the Save button of the instance.

To upload the official Adobe Excel price lists for Education and Government products, please follow the same guide outlined above. Instead, make sure to search for the specific price lists for Education and Government. Once you have located them, you can upload these official Adobe Excel price lists in the designated fields on the instance. You can also check this page concerning the EDU & GOV products and prices: https://interworkscloud.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ICPD/pages/1081933886/Adobe+Education+Government#Product-Pricing. |

Any applicable Adobe VIP MP volume discounts will be calculated automatically based on the latest uploaded official Adobe Excel pricing file. |
Updating the Adobe Products and Prices in the BSS Platform
The update of the Adobe products and prices occurs after the import of the Official Adobe Excel price list file and during the Get Services Definition process on the Adobe VIP MP Service Manager instance.
If prices change, the BSS add-on prices will be updated to reflect the new values. To do this, upload the latest official Adobe Excel file into the COM Pricing file field found within each Adobe VIP MP service manager instance. After uploading, save the instance and run the Get Services Definition process to complete the update.
If Adobe introduces new products, the Get Services Definition process will automatically create them since no match will be found with the existing BSS add-ons.
If discontinued products are introduced, the Get Services Definition process cannot handle that situation automatically. As a result, if a set of SKUs is no longer available in the Official Adobe Excel price list file, the Get Services Definition process will not automatically deactivate these add-ons (or add the Discontinued status) in BSS.
You are responsible for cross-checking the previous Excel file with the new one to find any differences (regarding discontinued SKUs), and, accordingly, make the required manual changes in the BSS platform.
