When should you use more than one price list?

Understand the working context

The catalogue remains the source of product identity and description. Price-list entries supply the selling prices for a chosen context. Before adding another list, ask whether the difference is a common structure or a customer-specific agreement. Maintaining unnecessary copies makes broad updates harder to review. Keep list names, currencies and active status clear so colleagues choose the right basis when preparing a quotation.

Put it into practice

• Name each list for its intended audience or use.
• Confirm the currency and relevant products.
• Use customer agreements for individual exceptions.
• Review which active lists still serve a purpose.

A practical example

A business uses one standard list and a trade list. Most trade customers share the same basis, while a particular customer has a fixed price for one item. The fixed agreement can remain on the customer rather than requiring another complete list for that single difference.
