Purpose

Set up and maintain price books.

Overview

Use Price Book Maintenance to create, edit, and delete price books (groups of prices).

Example A price book named Catalog describes prices from a catalog.

Price books can then be used to create price matrix records in Price Book Price Maintenance or Price Book/Product Profit Price Maintenance for a product, a price class or a product style. For more information, see Price Logic FAQ.

Price books are associated with a customer on the Sales tab in Customer Maintenance.
