Price Lists in Tally.ERP9


Price List in Tally.ERP9

1.   Price Levels in Tally.ERP 9
In Tally.ERP 9, you can create different Price Levels and assign different Price Lists to these Price Levels. For example, you can create Wholesaler, Distributor and Customer as Price Levels and assign applicable Price Lists to these Price levels, as per your requirements, so that only the relevant prices and discount rates are used during entry of orders and invoices. Before you start creating Price Lists, you may decide to create Price Levels as required.
2.   Creating Price Levels in Tally.ERP 9
Ensure that whether the Company is enabled for Accounts with Inventory in the Company Master screen.
To enable Price Levels, Set the following fields to Yes in F11: Features > F2: Inventory Features screen.
1.    Allow Invoicing (If you do not set this option to Yes, the options for Price Lists will not be available.)

4.   Price List in Tally.ERP 9
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.
You can have one or more price lists. You may require more than one price list, when you have different price structures/levels for different purposes viz., different groups of customers requiring different discounts or dealing in different products.
Tally.ERP 9 permits you to create any number of price lists, based on the Stock Group and Stock Category to match the structure you need.
Go to Gateway of Tally > Inventory Info. > Price List

Name of Item
This column contains the Name of the Stock Items under the selected Stock group. You can define the Price Listfor each item.
Quantities - From & Less Than
These fields are repeated for an item and begin with a blank for 0 items and end with a blank for any number of items (i.e., upto 50 Nos you can have a certain pricing if someone buys more than 50Nos you can specify a different rate). This is useful for quantity based pricing and discounts. You can create a staggered quantity price structure, if required.

Rate
Under this column, you can specify Rate, the Rate for the item based on the quantity range given.

Historical Details (Rate and Disc%)
This column displays the last Price List specified for such Stock Group.
There are two columns: Rate and Disc %. Tally.ERP 9 provides the historical details of the sale rate and discount percentage of any previously created Price Lists. Therefore, you can define the current price details based on the information given in the Historical details.
Cost Price
In this column, Tally.ERP 9 displays the cost price of the item calculated based on the stock valuation method given in the item master. This has been provided to assist the user in giving the appropriate sale price. By viewing the historical price details of an item, we can accordingly define the sale price for the new Price List.
Note:         For the discount percentage to be taken in the Price List, you should activate the feature Separate Discount Column on Invoices in the F11: Features (Inventory Features).
