How Does QuickBooks Advanced Pricing Work?
Advanced pricing in QuickBooks Enterprise enables you to set precise pricing rules with conditions based on different metrics, such as customer, item, quantity, class, date range, and sales rep. You’re probably aware that all QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise versions have built-in features for allowing custom price levels. QuickBooks Enterprise Platinum and Diamond take it one step further with price rules. Price levels let you adust prices for each customer or group of customers. For instance, if you’ve agreed to offer a 15% discount to a customer on all items, you can use price levels to deduct the 15% discount from the item price whenever billing your customer.
You can be more detailed by using price rules. For example, your top 10 customers will receive a special discount of 15%, but only when they purchase 20 or more items. You can set all of these conditions in QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise, and it will automatically calculate the discounted item prices on your sales invoice.
Use Advanced Pricing to Your Advantage
With QuickBooks Enterprise’s advanced pricing, you can customize and automate your pricing so you won’t have to manually set up or update anything. You can easily change your prices without doing any extra work. Advanced pricing helps you be flexible on special promos, cost-of-goods increases, and other elements, like

Additional Controls on Price Rules

These are just some of the reasons many companies take advantage of QuickBooks Enterprise’s advanced pricing for their customers.
