BSA 3103 - Accounting Information System: Module No.: Activity No.: 2 Topic: Pricing
Objective:
In this exercise, you explore various options in prices. You create a new item and manually set
prices for multiple price lists. You create a new customer and assign the appropriate price list.
Then you check that the price list is determined automatically in a sales order for that customer.
Next you create a new price list based on another price list. You check that prices are
determined automatically.
You create purchasing transactions to learn empirically how and when the last purchase price is
determined in the system.
You set up special prices for customers. First you set a 10% discount for a particular item, then
you add quantity-based discounts for a different item. You test the prices by creating a sales
order for that customer. Later you extend these special prices to another customer.
5-1 Add a new item in the system and maintain prices manually.
5-1-1 Enter the following information for the new item.
Maintain all the prices in the specified price lists for the item master record by
changing the dropdown in the field price list to each price list needed.
Alternately, you can save the item master record and enter the prices in the
Inventory ® Price Lists ® Price Lists menu by double-clicking each price list
and entering the required price for the item.
5-2 Create a new customer, <INITIALS>200, <YourName> Inc. Since this customer initially
only orders small quantities, assign him your terms for stores. Assign the Small

Check the price lists again. Is the last purchase price updated?
