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

What a price book will not do

You can name the controls on this surface that are inert, the two that are genuinely dangerous…

Inert by measurement

Step 1 — Rule out the controls that do nothing

You will stop configuring four things.

What this step names
  1. The Multi Line tab
  2. Together with its own logic and negation
  3. Is read only by that same server-side processor — nothing on a…
  4. A sales document ever looks at it

Step 2 — Rule out the rules that cannot match

You will avoid three dead ends in rule writing.

The two to test before you trust

Step 3 — Know the two that cost money quietly

You will have tested the only two behaviours on this surface that can misprice a real sale.

POS General, the same item on two bill lines, quantity one and quantity two, with a scheme-sourced price set applied

Step 4 — Know what a treatment will refuse to do

You will stop trying to raise a price with a price book.

The half that runs on the server

Step 5 — Understand where points really come from

You will know why points sometimes appear without the till and sometimes not at all.

What you do
  1. Switch it off and members stop earning, with no message anywhere

Step 6 — Keep the list that works everywhere

You will have the safe vocabulary.
