Price Lists

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

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 the order in which we check the price 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, 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 that price list, 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

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

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

We strongly recommend that you always use either VAT inclusive price lists (via the tick box) or VAT exclusive price lists.

Break Prices

This 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.

The prices you enter will then apply based on the quantity of the sales order for the product.

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.

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.

When you open the price list you will be presented with the form below, which has three distinct sections

Header - with the name, type, expiry date
Products - a list of the products on the price list, and when you select a product you will see the prices
Price Window - only shows when you select a product, details the prices, and the bands those prices will apply.

Option	How to use this field

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	If you need to have a price list which includes VAT then use this check box but we recommend this only for ePOS sales

This is a mandatory field that you have to set on each list, it lets the system know how to calculate the prices.

Customer Price Lists (Contract Pricing)

The setup of a customer price list is nearly exactly the same as a normal price list setup with the following differences.

You can not have promotional price lists.
You have to specify a specific customer that whom this price list is being used.

Within Commerce you can open the customer-specific pricing list, this is a complete list of all the customers own price lists available with the ability to search and filter and the option to then VIEW an individual price list

A customer should only have a single price list and these price lists can be in different currencies to your base currency

The form when opened will show a list of all the price lists that you have available on the system.

When you open the form you can maintain the customer contract price list, expand the section below to learn more about this :

The ability to replicate customer price lists is available, you simply have to specify the new customer to whom this price list will apply to.

Price Maintenance Form

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.

This form provides you with global access to all the prices on a single screen allowing you to edit the sales price for the product.

There are two options available you either maintain the prices for

Product (the standard product price)
Price List (a specifically named price list)

Once you decide what you wish to maintain select your option and search and you will see the products listed below

For product price maintenance a full list of all products will appear

or if you pick a price list then you will only see those items on the price list and then you are able to update the NEW SALES PRICE field based on the information displayed on the forms

Once you have finished remembering to hit the SAVE button, do not just close the form otherwise nothing will be updated.
