Introduction to Price Lists

Inventory control provides for several types of prices, including item default prices, warehouse-specific prices, sale prices, and contract prices. Refer to the Prices chapter for a detailed discussion of each type of price.

Use the Price list selection to print price lists. Five different types of price lists are available:

Item price list

This price list shows price-1, price-2, price-3, price-4, and price-5 for a range of items and, optionally, sale prices and warehouse-specific prices.

Warehouse price list

This price list shows only item prices that are defined for a specific warehouse.

Sale price list

This price list shows sale prices (or discounts) for items and/or categories of items that are in effect for a specified period. You may optionally include warehouse-specific sale prices.

Contract price list

This price list shows contract prices (or contract discounts) that are defined for customers and specific items or categories of items that are in effect for a specified period.

Actual customer price list

This price list shows, for a specific customer or customer type, the actual prices charged. Sale prices and warehouse-specific prices may optionally be shown.

The warehouse price list and warehouse-specific prices are available only if you specified that you are using multi-warehouse pricing (in I/C Control information).
