The price book, and which price actually reaches the line · presentation 3 of 5

When the book and the scheme disagree

You can say exactly what Price Source = Pricing Scheme does on each screen — price, filter…

Two layers, one number

Step 1 — See what the question actually is

You will have the question framed correctly.

What this step names
  1. The interesting part is not who is right — it is that…
  2. Editing a sales invoice
  3. Keying a sales order
  4. Nothing on any of those screens tells you which answer you are…

Step 2 — At the till, the book wins and rewrites the standard price

You will know what a counter actually does.

Screen capture pending the demo tenant

POS General, a bill line showing a unit price that does not match the branch's usual list

The same box, three meanings

Step 3 — On a sales invoice, the same setting does nothing

You will stop expecting parity between a till and an invoice.

Step 4 — On a sales order, it is a filter, not a price

You will have the third meaning.

What this step names
  1. The sales order path passes the line's own pricing scheme into the…
  2. The engine uses the treatment's named scheme as a **gate**…
  3. The search moves to the next price set

Choosing on purpose

Step 5 — Decide which of the two jobs you wanted

You will be able to configure this deliberately instead of hopefully.

What you do
  1. Ask which sentence you mean

Step 6 — Check it before you trust it

You will have a test you can run in five minutes.

What you do
  1. Take one item that has a price on two schemes with a clear difference…
  2. Compare the unit price, the discount and the net on all three
  3. Repeat the till test with a quantity of two…
