Provided

• Each file always contains the "Stock Code" and "Description".
• Information also provided if supplied by the manufacturer is "Retail Price", "Cost Price", "Group or Discount Code", "Supersession", "V.A.T. Rate" and "Pack Quantity".
• It may seem odd that prices are not always provided, but manufacturers tend to provide a recommended retail price, and either a discount code or an explicit cost price. After market suppliers tend to give a cost price but not always a recommended retail price.
