We import product data using a feed we get from a wholesaler - one full import a week that merges product data and a daily import that only updates price and stock data. I have created a custom attribute called price_incvat and I want this to be populated with the price plus 20% once the product data is updated by the import.

I tried to do this by creating an observer that would update the attribute on the catalog_product_save_before event (see here) without realising that this event would not be triggered by the import. I have tried to use the same code with various other events as listed here but without success. I feel I have been barking up the wrong tree?

Can anyone suggest a better tree to bark up?

  Check for events fired by their module if they fire any and attach your observer there. another possible solution would be to modify their extension to update your attribute after it updates the price

I think there are two ways to go -

1. Extend the module from Stock in the Channel to calculate
   price_incvat and save that value in the SQL call.




2. Run a script after the import that calculates
   price_incvat and saves it.

If Stock in the Channel fires an event once at the end of the import, you could use an observer to handle triggering a script that would set price_incvat.

Extending the module and adding price_incvat to the SQL would probably be the least amount of code, and you get the performance benefit of SQL.
