This article explains how to use Salesforce Data Loader to bulk-import new Products (Product2 object) and associate them with both the Standard Price Book and custom Price Books (PricebookEntry object*) - useful when setting up a large product catalog.
*PricebookEntry is the Salesforce object that links a Product to a Price Book with a specific price
Please follow the below steps to import Products and associate them to standard and custom Price Books.
Step 1 - Open the Price Books page
You can create Price Books in Salesforce directly for a small finite set of Price Books. For creating multiple Price Books, you can use the Data Loader and import into the 'PriceBook2' object. Review Insert or update Price Books with Data Loader.
In Lightning interface, Click Price Books in the App Launcher.
In Classic interface, click the Products tab. In the bottom right-hand corner, click Manage Price Books.
Note: The Standard Price Book MUST be active.
Step 2a - Prepare Products file
Note: See attached template 'Insert_Template_Product_Step2a.csv'
Step 3a - Export 'Price Book 2' object
Please use the 'PriceBook2 ID' (from Step 2a) and other fields to prepare a file for the next step.
Step 3b - Prepare file for Standard Price Book
Note: Always first associate the Products with the Standard Price Book irrespective whether the Products are using Standard Price or not.
You can check Manage Price Books for you to track the prices of products and services that your company offers to customers.
