Has anyone automated import of price files from contract management provider, the GHX 832, or other?
Summary:
We are looking for a way to automate the inbound price change file upload process. Manually updating or uploading price change files via FBDI has become increasingly time consuming for staff, as our suppliers are increasing prices continuously. Failure to update pricing in a timely manner creates discrepancies that the procurement staff must handle before a supplier will ship an order, or discrepancies between PO and invoice, holding up payment to the supplier.

Has anyone successfully automated inbound price file updates from a contract management vendor or GHX 832 to the BPA or CPA? We are looking for a process that would require minimal, or no, human intervention. If you have successfully implemented, would you be willing to share any information as to set up, tips, tricks, lessons learned, etc.
