Assign a price list to sellers

After a price list is created, a pricing organization user can assign the price list to sellers of the corresponding enterprise.

About this task

Depending on the business requirements, a pricing organization user can assign the price list to a set of seller organizations who fulfill certain criteria. For example, a pricing organization user can assign the price list to all the seller organizations or only to the seller organizations belonging to a specific region.

Sometimes, an enterprise may want to offer a discount to important seller organizations. To achieve that, a pricing organization user can create a price list defining the discounted prices, and assign that price list to the corresponding seller organizations.

When a price list is assigned to specific seller organizations, the prices defined in the price list will be applicable only to those seller organizations.

Note: Only a user belonging to pricing organization or seller organization can assign a price list to sellers.
