Main price list |
All prices in the main price list will be available in this price list. This means, for example, that you can make a customer-specific change to an existing price list without having to copy the entire original price list. Changes made to the main price list also apply to the prices in this price list. If the order does not find a price in this price list, the prices in the main price list are used. [None]: The price list does not inherit prices from any other price list. The settings on the General and Account coding tabs are not inherited by subordinate price lists. |

Weight calculation |
The weight calculation to be used on orders with the price list. [Default]: The weight calculation set in the office settings (Weight/Distance tab). |
|
Valid from Valid until |
The price list’s validity date is matched against the order date to see if the price list should give the order a price. If a start date is not specified, the price list is valid from when it is saved. If you do not specify an end date, it is valid until further notice. |

+ Inherited from {0}: The service can be selected on orders with this price list, but the settings for the service are inherited from another price list. It is not possible to change any settings for the service in this price list; that has to be done in the main price list. Any changes to the service made in the main price list will be reflected in this price list. The text Inherited from {0} indicates that the settings for the service are the same as in the main price list.
+ Overrides inheritance from {0}: To change the settings for an inherited service, select it. The text Overrides inheritance from {0} indicates that some settings have changed compared to the main price list, and that others are still inherited from the main price list.

Conditions: Here it is possible to specify that the prices should only apply if certain conditions are met. This makes it possible to control which prices to use without having to create a new service and switch to that on the order.

In subordinate price lists, the price and all settings are inherited from the main price list. It is not possible to change only the settings, e.g. No fuel extra, of an extra in a subordinate price list. To change the settings, the price of the extra first has to be changed. The same price as in the main price list can be entered, but note that it will no longer be inherited from the main price list. In other words, if the price in the main price list is changed, it will not change in the subordinate price list.
