On 18 October 2018, the source wrote (citation):

The Federal Statistical Office of Germany for the first time presents the results of the recalculation of the selling prices in wholesale trade of base 2015 = 100.

In response, we have:

1. Archived the predecessors (base 2010, January 2006 to July 2018) by renaming with an "_10" specifier, by marking metadata as discontinued, and by segregating in the catalog.
2. Created one-for-one replacements (base 2015).

Dataset properties:

• Measurement: Fixed-based index relative to 2015 (Index 2015=100), year-over-year percent change (% Y/Y), or month-over-month percent change (% M/M)
• Adjustment: Not seasonally adjusted (NSA), or calendar day adjusted and seasonally adjusted (CDASA)
• Frequency: Monthly
• Start: As early as January 1968
• Subject to revisions: Yes
• Lag: One month

The series reside in the historical catalog (Germany » Price » Wholesale price index) and include, for example:

• WRIWAT_10UM.IDEU = [DISCONTINUED] Prices: Wholesale Trade Prices; By value, (Index 2010=100, NSA)
• WPITTUM.IDEU     = Wholesale price index: Total, (Index 2015=100, NSA)
• WP%TTYUM.IDEU    = Wholesale price index: Total, (% Y/Y, NSA)

Because catalog locations are subject to change, the upper-right search box on DataBuffet.com provides a "find in catalog" mode that accepts a mnemonic.
