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 will first and assuming we find 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 throughlists 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 the customer is set to use, use this otherwiseUse the product price, 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. |

Deleting or Archiving You cannot delete a price list you can only mark the price list as archived. To do so remove the check/tick from the LIVE check box on the price list form. VAT Inclusive Pricing| Note |
|---|
We strongly recommend that you always use either VAT inclusive price lists (via the tick box) or VAT exclusive price lists. |
Break PricesThis allows you to set prices based on the quantity specified on each order line, so you can offer discounted prices the more a customer purchases of a product, or it could cost more when the product becomes rarer. Where a price band exists you need to set a start and an end number, the start and end number represents the total singles being ordered (i.e. an order line quantity of 1 case with 6 singles per unit + 2 singles equates to 8 total singles). Each band should increase and you should have no overlaps of quantities, the final quantity should set itself to 999999. | Tip |
|---|
If you only want a single price for any quantity of a Product simply insert a 1 into the Quantity From column and tab over the Qty To field (a value of 999999 will be entered automatically) |
The prices you enter will then apply based on the quantity of the sales order for the product. | Note |
|---|
There is no validation on setting prices (so that you have full control). It is your responsibility to ensure that the price for every Product and price band is correct. |
EP Price Lists - to be removed during 2023………….These are currently set in the standard price list with just a tick box which is used to differentiate these price lists from standard price lists. Only items on the list can be ordered for the EP Campaign and only those purchased can then be sold on EP Sales orders. |
Price List 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.
| Tip |
|---|
In situations where you wish to split a Trade price list out into different producers or countries you could in theory have one for each producer, this will work but try to ensure the same product does not appear in multiple lists. |
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.

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 |
