The Maintain Price Lists (IM18) program allows you to create multiple Price Lists. These Price Lists are used to determine the best price for Products entered on Sales Orders.

A base or Master Price List is created that stores your regular List prices by product. You have the ability to create multiple Master Price Lists. For example, US versus Canadian prices or Wholesale versus Retail prices.

Additional Price Lists, containing the exception pricing, are created and linked to a Master Price List. This is necessary if the exception price is calculated using Pricing Method 'Discount off Master Price' or 'Master Price Multiplier' which apply a rate to one of your List prices. These price lists must be in the same currency as the Master Price List.

The different Price List types are:

  • Contract
  • Special
  • Common Quote
  • Flyer
  • Master

For details on each of these prices list types, see the Price List Types topic.

Customers are linked to a Master Price List and to any exception Price Lists that they are eligible for in Maintain Customer Master (SU13). When an order is placed, these price lists are examined to determine which gives the best price. For an explanation of product and price list rules, see the Product/Price List Rules topic.

IM18 is divided into 5 folders:

  • Price List - General (Header record for each Price List)
  • Price List - Products (Pricing record for each product on a Price List)
  • Product - Price Lists (Shows Price Lists that contain specific products)
  • Price List - Commodities (Pricing record for all commodities, specific commodities or specific product line on a Price List)
  • Commodity - Price Lists (Show Price Lists that contain a specific commodity)
