Introduction
Price lists allow you to maintain customised prices. You can create Price Lists with alternative Prices and Price structures and use them for:
- Certain groups of Customers: Prices associated with items can vary on a customer-by-customer basis. Once a price list is set up and assigned to a customer record, it overrides any price categories already assigned to that customer account. These prices and discounts will display on any Invoices.
- Promotions: You can sell specified Products at a different Price for a period. This can also be used to create promotional prices that only apply on specific dates for specific customers.
- Specific products/services
- Volume Pricing and Discounting.
Price Lists cater to different currencies, allowing you to maintain the price of the items in the customer currency.

Associating a Customer with a Price List
1. To open the Customer Master Record, go to Sales > Customers and click on the relevant code.
2. In the Finance Settings tab, complete the following fields:
- Price Category: This is mandatory and determines which one of the eight Price Categories is for this Customer. It is inherited from Customer Defaults but can be changed at new Customer setup stage. This determines the Price for each Product at Order or Invoice stage, but you can override it at that time.
- Price List: This is optional. If left blank, then the Price Category for the Customer determines the Prices at Order/Invoice stage. If, however, it contains a valid entry from the list of Price Lists then the system will use this field to examine the Price List in question to see if a Promotional Price or some other special Price arrangement applies instead.
2. Click Save.
DeleteViewing Prices and Discounts on Sales Invoices
To enter your Sales Invoices:
