Using Price List Based On Customer

Some time you may get requirement to use price list based on the customer selected in opportunity or order. In this article we are going to provide steps to implement this requirement. If you are new to price list I will suggest you to first go through this KB which will help you to understand price list.

To implement this requirement, mainly we need to do the following two customizations :

• Setup a relationship between account and price list (1:N) and add price list sub grid on account, so that we could add multiple price list to account record.
  
  
• Setup dependent lookup in opportunity, to show only price list associated with selected customer

So let’s first setup relationship between account and price list, use following steps:

• Navigate to Entities - Account, 1:N Relationship, then New 1 to Many Relationship and provide name for the lookup field like the following screen:

 

• Save and Close relationship dialog.

• Select any section on account form where you want to place sub grid for price list and click on Sub-Grid button under Insert tab in top toolbar.
