Pricing

Field	Description
Project	Enter, or click to select, a valid pricing project. If you enter a customer, and a pricing project exists on the Sales Order tab on the Manage Customer screen, the pricing project loads as the default value in this field. The items recorded on the sales order are priced according to the unit price schedule established on the Project Unit Pricing subtask on the Manage CLIN information screen; or on the Manage Sales Order Project Defaults screen. You can maintain the unit price provided by the application if you selected the Override Product Sales File Price check box on the Manage Sales Order Project Defaults screen. There are significant field defaults and system controls linked to each pricing project on the Manage Sales Order Project Defaults screen that control field values and processing requirements as the order is entered. Note: If no catalog or project is entered, you need to enter prices on the sales order manually. The item you enter must be on the item/billing table.
Catalog	Enter, or click to select, a valid pricing catalog. If you enter a customer, and a pricing catalog exists on the Sales Order tab of the Manage Customer screen, the pricing catalog loads as the default value in this field. The items recorded on the sales order are priced according to the unit price schedule established for the catalog code on the Manage Product Price Catalogs screen. You can maintain the unit price provided by the application if you selected the Override Product Sales File Price check box on the Manage Sales Order Catalog Defaults screen. There are significant field defaults and system controls linked to each pricing catalog on the Manage Sales Order Catalog Defaults screen, which control field values and processing requirements as the order is entered. Note: If no catalog or project is entered, prices are manually input on the sales order. The item must already exist on the item/billing table.
