Everything you need to know about how price lists work is contained in the information below

Image Modified Note Remember it is product and quantity which are checked to validte whether to use the specific price list.

We have a pricing structure which all sales orders utilise when working out the price for a product. The flow diagram on the left shows

what

the order in which we

will

check

first and assuming we find

the price

no where else we will end up with the product price which is generally the highest price for the product.

The product must exist on the price lists for it to be used, therefore you can have a price list with only some products on the price list.

Stages we go through

lists for the product you entered on the sales order, we check first at the top of the diagram. We then work our way towards the bottom, the product price. The steps the process will go through: Does the customer have their own customer contract prices, if so check those lists for the product enterers,

use this otherwiseDoes

if that exists and the quantity is within the range we have prices then then use that price, otherwise goto step 2 Check the customers price list, does this product exist on

a

that price list

that the customer is set to use, use this otherwise

, if it does and the quantity being requested is between the ranges with prices then use that price, otherwise goto setup 3 Use the product price Tip If you are sending orders via EDI then we will use the price provided on the EDI and we will not lookup the price lists.

To try to simplify the process, a video on how pricing works is below, we suggest you watch this prior to reading about pricing in the tabs below

Groups

Before you set up a price list you need to have a price list group available or you may need to add one.

Within the customer, you will set up which price list group the customer will use.

The groups are used to allow you to define a standard price list and perhaps a promotion list.

You should not have more than one standard and one promotional price list per group in use at any one time, but should you do this then the system will still use it but it will take the first price it finds for the product.

Price Lists

The simplest way to obtain an overview of the price lists is to use the menu options in the sales admin menus, either option the price lists OR the customer price lists and you will see a list of the available lists beneath it.

If you choose to VIEW a price list it will open in the maintenance screen allowing you to edit and save the list.

Tip You have to set the price list up before you set up a new customer to use the price list. When adding a new customer you then specify the price list group that the customer will use. See the price list group tab for more information on what the price list group is. Option How to use this field Live Ability to archive a list, if you do not wish to use the list then you simply mark it as NOT live by leaving the box unchecked. En Primeur If this is an EP price list you need to tick this box. Promotional You can have a main and a promotional price list for any price list group. Promotional prices tend to operate particular dates and will be checked first before a standard price list in the group. If you have for example Trade Special (with Promotional ticked) and Trade price lists both set upin the Trade price list group and a customer is assigned to the Trade price list group then the promotional list (Trade Special) will be used in priority over the non promotional list (Trade) providing the product is on the special list and the dates are valid. Vat Inc Prices Note We strongly recommend that you always use either VAT inclusive price lists (via the tick box) or VAT exclusive price lists. If you need to have a price list which includes VAT then use this check box but we recommend this only for ePOS sales Price Format This is a mandatory field that you have to set on each list, it lets the system know how to calculate the prices.

Price

...

Price lists need to exist in price list groups, so we have to create groups in order that a price list can be added.

The groups are used to define which group a customer looks at for his prices, so you can have the main price list and a promotional price list available for the group, we always use the promotional price lists first and then the main price list.

You should not have more than one standard and one promotional price list per group in use at any one time, but should you do this then the system will still use it but it will take the first price it finds for the product.

We provide an overall view form that allows you to see information about product prices or price lists. This is a single screen allowing you a much better overview of the pricing, along with key information on the costs and charges, the concept was to allow you to have a better idea before you start updating prices.
