Accessing Pricelist

Linking the Pricelist to the Client Funding

This is an important step and lets the system know which pricelist you have used when creating the Service Agreement.

The Pricelist selected here will be automatically selected when creating the Service Template and Service Schedule that are linked to this funding.  

Linking the Pricelist to the Service Template

The pricelist is now a mandatory field when adding items to the Service Template. Service Types will be filtered based on the Funding Source and Pricelist selected. The pricelist will be automatically selected based on the Funding Source selected (if setup).

When generating the Roster from the Service Template, all Service Schedule records created will be linked to the pricelist selected here.

Linking the Pricelist to Service Schedule records

The pricelist is a mandatory field when creating once-off services. Again, the pricelist will be automatically selected based on the Funding Source selected, and the Service Type list will be filtered based on the Funding Source and Pricelist selected.
