Welcome to AlignBooks. We are happy to have you on board. In this help studio tutorial, we will explore the Purchase Price List option.
Before we begin, let us understand about the need of Purchase Price List and the usage of this particular activity.
As you begin the process to source the material, you need remain aware of the prices offered by different vendors for a particular product. When you finally make a purchase order, you need to mention the rate of the products to be procured. If your vendor(s) have standard price list or you have negotiated a fixed price for materials to be procured, you can enter the relevant data in your system to automatically fetch the prices in different set of documents related to material procurement.
In Purchase Price List setup, we submit the prices of different products for different Vendors with all the available data at hand. This library of data is extensively used to capture, generate and auto generate the required documents e.g. Purchase Order, Purchase Bill creation etc.
You can change the price list any number of times with its “effective from” feature. Moreover, you can maintain the multiple price list for the same period for different category of vendors.
You can also edit and delete an already created set of information with required authorization.
The key functions of a Purchase Price List Module are:
· Creation of a New Price List;
· Modification of an existing Price List;
· Deletion of an existing Price List.
We will be going through the each of these set of information in detail.
