How Do Products and Price Books Work?

Products and Price Books are used to keep a record of the prices of your goods and services.You can set up multiple Price Books to reflect discounts or Product availability. Once your Price Book has been created, you can start adding Products. You can also create new Price Books by cloning Price Books you've already created.

Important Details

  • You can only set one currency per Price Book. You cannot edit the currency once it has been selected. However, you can use different currencies with other Price Books.
  • Price Books can be edited, but they cannot be deleted once they are associated with a Quote or an Opportunity.
  • You can edit Products, but you cannot delete them if they are associated with an Opportunity or a Quote.

Products

Products are the goods and services sold by your business. Users can create a Product record for every item or service their business offers and assign it a price.

  • Add to Price Book
  • Add Price Book Prices
  • Grid list of Price Books associated with this Product
  • Grid list of Quotes associated with this Product

Price Books

Price Books organize your Products into an itemized list. Price Books are used when building a Quote. Once the Quote’s Price Book is set, the user will be able to add Products to the Quote based on what’s available in the Price Book.

Standard Price Book

The Standard Price Book lists the prices that each of your Products are normally sold at. All Products are automatically added to the Standard Price Book when they are created, which records the default cost of each listing. You can add a Product to any custom Price Books and adjust the prices as needed.

If the List Price of a Product is changed in the Standard Price Book, it will update the price of that Product in all Price Books that have checked the Use Standard Price checkbox. If you navigate to a Product’s Related tab and select Edit Price Book Entry, updating the List Price will update all Price Books that have checked the Use Standard Price checkbox.
