Use of the Price Book

General

A price list is needed if you want to perform cost calculation for a project or product (item structure).

The calculation of prices is based on item structures and the fact that the items and resources added to the structure have price information linked to the price list selected for the calculation.

• There can be multiple price details for a single item, e.g., cost price, campaign price, and sales prices for different market areas.

• A separate price list must be created for each of these different prices.

• The costs of the project and product are collected through the product's item structures based on unit prices and quantities.

A separate price can be defined for subassemblies (subassembly item structure), in which case that price is used in the pricing of the top-level product structure, instead of the price information of the individual items under the subassembly.

It may be necessary to use multiple different price lists as needed, for example, to calculate cost prices or regionally defined prices.
