Supplier price tracker

What this file is

A supplier price tracker keeps one row per quote per supplier per date, with the quantity it applies to and how long it stands. Kept over a year it shows cost drift a single cost field can never show, and turns a renegotiation into a conversation about evidence.

What is inside

One header row, one filled example.

One row per quote per supplier per date: the file that answers how much a product's cost has moved this year, and which supplier is quietly repricing you.

Rows 1 and 2 are the file. Click any cell to read it; the foot of the sheet says what its column is for.

Behind the file

Why it is built this way.

Supplier prices creep one product at a time, and a store that keeps only its current cost cannot see it happening. A dated quote history can: the same SKU at €14,80 in January and €16,00 in August is an 8% margin problem that arrived in stages, none of which was big enough to notice on its own.

The quantity and lead time columns are what make the file negotiable. A price is only comparable against the order size and the delivery time it assumes, and a supplier who is cheaper but a fortnight slower is asking you to hold more safety stock, which has a cost of its own that the reorder point calculator prices.

Two columns save real money. Validity, because a quote with an expiry is a deadline you can plan a purchase around. And incoterm, because who pays for the freight and the duty decides whether two prices are actually comparable at all: an ex-works price and a delivered one can differ by the whole landed uplift. Whichever quote wins, record it in the price list with effective dates rather than overwriting the old cost, so the history survives.
