Compare supplier price lists without matching rows by hand.
When a supplier reorders a file, a row-by-row comparison can label unchanged products as changed. A SKU join compares the product identity instead of its position.
A practical review sequence
- Keep the previous file as your baseline.
- Confirm both files use the same currency and pack basis.
- Match on a stable, unique SKU column.
- Review price increases separately from added and removed items.
- Keep a dated report with the source files before applying updates.
Example
A cost moving from 3.20 to 3.84 is a 0.64 increase, or 20%. If the pack size also changed, this percentage alone is misleading. Compare equivalent units first.
When Delta fits
You have two CSVs from one supplier with stable SKUs and want a review report. If you need PDF extraction, currency conversion or an automatic ERP import, this version is not a fit.
