May 2026 - Produce Vendors Products & Pricing

This release contains improvements to the "Send to Vendor" functionality, by adding the option to add “Products” (and connected prices) to each Vendor setup. The main use cases included: 

• Be able to specify which product types a certain vendor may publish.

• Be able to specify “min” and “max” values for a certain product type, per vendor.

• Be able to add pricing for each product type.

  • Adding specific pricing per quantity level.

• For end users to quickly see how much a certain product costs to order, before creating the document.
   

We have added a new tab in the Vendor setup dialog, named “Products”.

From here, the admin may add information about certain product types that are possible to print from this specific Vendor, and their prices (optional). You start by clicking "Add product".

This opens up the dialog where you can add a new product, and select which pricing it should have - either a flat unit price, a tiered pricing, or no pricing information:

 

When selecting Tiered pricing, you may add the quantity levels and their specific pricing. If you for example only have a min- and max number of copies that the end user can order it can be added as just one line (without any more tiers).

 

The overview of the product and pricing might look like this once added: 

 

Using Vendors on templates

Once all the settings have been applied to your vendor the next step is to apply the vendor to be used on a template. This makes it possible to direct which documents that should be possible to order to certain vendors in the system. 

The vendors that can be used by the specific template are added to the "Vendor" tab found in the Template settings dialog:

 

If a Vendor has one or multiple products added, the template admin may also select one or multiple product types that are possible to create and order from this template: 

 

The admin can then select to toggle ON/OFF certain product type.

The content creator will find the information about which vendor/s they can use for ordering material created by a certain template by looking at the tab "Vendors" in the Template detail view. Here they also see the pricing information if that has been setup: 

 

When the content creator has created a document and click on "Share" to a vendor, they will be able to review the Product selection again:

 

If a product with an attached price model is in use, the field "Quantity" will automatically be added. A total cost is calculated by the value entered in this field multiplied with the Unit price, and the information about Product, pricing and quantity is automatically added to the email sent to the vendor.
