Price Lists are useful for orders and invoices. An up-to-date price list helps in decision-making even at the lowerlevels of the organization and quickens the sales process. Tally.ERP 9 assists in creating quantity based pricing with complex discount structure. Price Lists are available only for inventory items and hence the feature is available only if inventory and invoicing are activated for the company.
