Price Book Price Maintenance

Menu Path: Customer Service Images\bluerarw.gif Order Options Images\bluerarw.gif Pricing Images\bluerarw.gif Price Book Price Maintenance

Purpose

Define price book pricing for a product, price class, or style.

Overview

Use Price Book Price Maintenance to link a product, price class, or style to a price book to create a price record. For more information, see Price Logic FAQ.

Note Use the Sales tab in Customer Maintenance to associate customers to price books.

Example Retail, Wholesale

Use the top of the window to select the type of record being created, updated, or deleted. Use the three tabs at the bottom of the window to enter or update information for that record. You must first select from the top section before you can enter pricing in the tabs.

Note Navigation is by ascending product code, price class, or style, and then by descending start date for the selected price book. For example, if you have three price records for the same price book/product code with start dates of 01/01/2020, 01/01/2021, and 01/01/2022, you would see the 01/01/2022 record first. Clicking the Next button displays the 01/01/2021 record second, and then clicking the Next button again displays the 01/01/2020 record last.
