Chapter 611 Price Levels
Big Business lets you have five prices for each item and assign these Price Levels to customers to easily manage retail, wholesale, customer-segment, or web-store pricing.
Assign a name to each Price Level for simple assignment to Customers, to switch on Quotes, to publish price lists, print price labels, and auto-update on your web store.
There are also customizations which you can turn on to get fifteen, or 30, Price Levels.
Default Price
Big Business uses Price Level 1 as the default price. If you are invoicing a customer who uses Price Level 2 and an item being sold does not have a Level 2 Price, then the Level 1 Price for the item is automatically used.
Price Level Labels can be set in Item Prefs, so you might have Standard and Special set. Using these Labels, if Special price is blank, Standard price is used as the Default Price.
Add Prices
Add Prices is a customization to increase Price Levels and Margins from five to fifteen.
To start it works by adding Prices and Margins to Items for Price Levels 6 through 15. These can be named in Item Prefs, edited in a new Price Levels tab in the Item card, and used for Customers, Quotes, Orders, Invoices.
To maintain new Prices, they are included on Searches, Exports, Update, and Imports.

Prices 3
Prices 3 extends optional Price Levels to 30. These are built-in to work for all features.
Once enabled, use new Price Levels for specific customers' or groups' pricing for Items. Options include Labels, Margins, Imports, Searches, Export, and Update features.
Choose 5, 15, or 30 Price Levels depending on need, which display on 1, 2, or 3 Tabs. As Quoted and Customer Price can also be used but Price Levels are faster and easier.
Prices 3 Labels and Margins
Prices 3 extends optional Price Levels to 30. These are built-in to work for all features.
Go to Item Pres to the Advanced+ tab to set Labels and Margins for Price Levels 16+.
Labels set a name like, Wholesale, that is used on all screens and lists for a Price Level. Margins are for Auto-Apply and should be left blank unless used to create new items.
Prices 3 Update
Prices 3 extends Price Levels to 30 giving you 6x the normal 5 and they work the same.
They appear on 3 tabs in the Item card namely, Item, Price Levels, and Price Levels+. They are on the dropdown on the Profit tab for switching a Quote, Order, or Invoice.
They are not being added to Price Labels or sent to iPad Orders until they are needed. They are in the usual places otherwise such as Searches, Export, Update, and Imports.
Prices Labels
Prices Labels are set in Item Prefs. Depending on settings you may see up to 6 Tabs. Names for Prices appear on Preferences, Advanced, and Advanced + for 5, 15, and 30.
Prices Labels let you set names for Price Levels to help wherever you use Price Levels. Price Level 1 is usually Retail or full price. It is the price used when others are blank.
You choose 5 Prices, or 15 Prices, or 30 Prices and then choose how to use, for a group like Wholesale or for one customer with whom you have agreed pricing on many items.
