Item Price Update: Pricing Inquiry

Amway’s Item Price Update Tool is a new feature that allows our Supply Base to request pricing changes to Amway/ABG’s system. This tool will provide you the ability to view current pricing that we have on file and propose new pricing as it occurs. The tool has routing functions for approvals and will automatically update our system upon full approval which will alleviate the manual processes and errors that can occur with any manual price updates.

Please note that this tool does not replace the Supplier Order Management Portal or EDI for Purchase Order(PO) unit cost updates, but using this tool to submit item price updates will reduce the amount of POs having incorrect prices.
