Dynamics CRM 2013 updates to Price List Items are not reflected in the General view - dynamics-crm

I am using Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013, and have a quandry. I have a product that is sold in 3 currencies (and 2 different unit groups, but the unit groups should not affect this), and I wish to update the prices for those three currencies. So, the simple way to do this should be through the Sales -> Products screen, and then in the Price List Items menu I should update the prices for the three different currencies. This is correct so far, right? However, when I do this, the List Price box in the Product's general screen will retain the earlier price for the item.
For example, for item Toy Car, the price in the past was $99.99 (I do not remember the exact source for the price). I update that price in the Price List Items screen so that the "Amount (Base)" column for the USD price is $10, the CAD price is 20, and the EUR price is 30. USD is the default currency. I expect the List Price on the general screen to show $10 after I make these updates. But it doesn't, it keeps the $99.99 instead.
What am I doing wrong? Does that List Price pull from somewhere else?

The List Price attribute on the product form has no relationship with the Price List Items.
You need some kind of custom automation to bring over the value (I'd say a plugin on create/update of Price List Items, just to name one option).

Magento: Best Product type for Camera Kits

I am developing a magento site. In this site I have products for camera kits. In one kit the product can have camera body, camera lens etc. These products when sold in group will have lesser price when sold individually.
I am thinking of "Grouped Products" in magento will suit my case the best.
But how to set the discounted price when purchased from a group?
Also I have to import product from another site so I will be creating all the products programmatically. So any suggestions for the discounted price. Also my approach for grouped products is right or wrong?
Grouped products are just a way to sell multiple products on one product page.
You could use a bundle product. When creating a bundle you can choose if the price will be calculated as the sum of all items or a fixed price.
I see two options for you:
Use the fixed price and create one bundle for each camera kit. The bundle will have an option "body" and an option "lens", each option has only one product selection and is marked as "required" (i.e. you don't have a choice)
Use dynamic price and a special price, then you can add different body and lens selections with different prices from which the customer can choose, but can give a discount of for example 10% on the bundle.

Configurable products for different product sizes and price

I am trying to make a store for car care chemicals in Magento for online buyers and company distributors.
Each chemical has a size option - 0.5 liters, 5 liters, 207 liters
And the above options have price difference depending upon the customer is a normal buyer or a distributor.
I have made a configurable product, but the price in the
"Super product attributes configuration" overrides the Group pricing in the simple products.
Can somebody please suggest the right way?
You have to create a attribute "size" as dropdown with all possible sizes.
When you add the product you have to choose one of them.
Magento will not take into the account the simple products' price of a configurable one. Simple products' prices are ignored. if you want to sell a simple product X having price $120 and a simple product B ($130) then set configurable product's price to $120 and add products you want to associate with this configurable product. After adding them click on 'Associated Products' tab which opens a block named Super product attributes configuration, which contains options and price differences and set the prices accordingly as described in attached image.
Moreover There's an extension that allows you to use simple product prices instead of price differences Since it's free extension. The extension is "Simple Configurable Products(SCP)".

Apply custom option price once regardless of quantity

I need to sell business cards in Magento. If the customer wants to use metallic ink (gold or silver) then I need to add $60 to the order, regardless of the quantity. I currently have Metallic Ink as a custom option, but Magento applies the $60 to each item. So if they order 100 business cards (which costs $25) there's an extra $1,500 added, making the total cost $1,525. The cost should be $85. How can I do this?
I've found Magento extensions that can do this, but one is $135 and one is $165. That seems a bit ridiculous to accomplish something that should be so simple for an online store.
Why don't you create an option for 100 cards, 250 cards, 500 cards etc and not allow the user to input the product qty but select it just like the ink option. This would stop people from ordering random number of cards like 37! Your problem is that magento takes the inputted qty and multiplies it by price (including options). If you remove the qty field (i.e so it always 1 when they click add to basket) and make the qty an option it allows for control over order volumes, discounts and surcharges like you are trying to achieve for free. Otherwise the quoted module prices seem very reasonable...
I would;
Create custom option for qty of cards with fixed prices for each
band.
Custom option for ink type with fixed price.
Remove or hide the
qty field on product page and cart.

Magento simple product custom options price as product price

I have product with price 0 and custom options (100g,200g,300g etc.) with prices 10$,20$...
In the product catalog and product page displays zero price, how to display cheapest option price? Thanks.
I'd suggest you take the cheapest option (probably the 100g option) and enter its price as price for the product.
Then you define the option price as t the difference between the option price and the 100g price.
Example:
Apples, Price = 0.99$
Define the individual options as follows (pricetype: fixed)
100g: +0 $ [optional]
200g: +0.85$
300g: +1.60$
That way the cheapest price is shown in the product listing and the real price gets updated on product detail view page when the user selects the amount he wants to buy.

magento create a very special configurable product - football team

I need on Magento 1.7 to let the user choose attributes for each quantity in a configurable product.
The Example:
I want to order 11 football shirt for my football team.
i need to select size and write the player's name for each shirt in the product page like the image above
If the solution need to set "11" as default quantity, there's no problem
What i need is to have attributes repeated 11 time as quantity.
Is it possible?
How to?
this can easily be done in your theme; use the file
app/design/frontend/base/default/template/catalog/product/view/type/options/configurable.phtml
Hook in at
foreach($_attributes as $_attribute):
and change how the item is displayed (display it several times, for example).
Afterwards, you need to modify the javascript-function below that alle products are added to cart. You can find an example how to mass-add products here:

Ask if you need more advice.
