Introduction
Welcome to this user-friendly guide to understanding and utilizing the Price List feature in Empress. This feature is a powerful tool in your business arsenal, allowing you to manage and customize item prices based on various factors including customer, currency, region, shipping costs, and more.
What are Price Lists?
In Empress, a Price List is essentially a detailed record of selling, buying, or both types of item prices. It lets you maintain diverse selling and buying item prices in a structured and organized manner. This feature shines particularly in scenarios where you deal with varying prices for different zones (due to shipping costs), distinct currencies, and other factors.
Each item can have multiple prices based on these diverse factors. These different prices are stored as separate rate plans in the system, ensuring each price is accurately tracked and applied.
Accessing Price Lists
To access a Price List in Empress, follow this simple navigation:
Home > Selling/Buying/Stock > Items and Pricing > Price List
Using Price Lists
Empress Price Lists are used when creating Item Prices to track the selling or buying price of an item. Here’s how to use them effectively:
- Assign specific countries to a Price List as needed.
- Disable a specific Price List by unticking the ‘Enabled’ checkbox. Once disabled, the Price List will not be available for selection in Sales and Purchase transactions.
- Utilize the Price Not UOM Dependent checkbox to adjust pricing based on units of measure. For example, if you buy tomatoes by the box and sell them by the kilo, you can ensure accurate pricing for both buying and selling scenarios by using this feature.
- Empress automatically creates Standard Buying and Selling Price Lists for your convenience.
Note: You can assign a specific Price List to a customer, resulting in automatic selection of that list for transactions involving that customer. This ensures consistent, accurate pricing, saving you time and reducing the risk of errors.
The Business Value of Price Lists
By using the Price List feature in Empress, you can streamline your pricing processes, ensure accuracy, and customize pricing based on a variety of factors. This not only enhances your business operations but also improves your customer service by providing accurate, consistent pricing.
