Creating a Price List Header

Each price list is defined by the data in its header, which includes its name, describes its purpose, and specifies the time period when it will be effective.

The price list header does not hold the actual prices for products. Prices are in the associated price list line items, which are described later in this chapter.

To define a price list

  1. From the application-level menu, choose View > Site Map > Pricing Administration > Price List.
  2. In the Price Lists list, click New.

    3. A new Price List record appears.

  3. Enter information in the new record and in More Info form, as described in Table 1.

    4. Table 1.  Price List Header Fields
