Price List management is not an easy task to handle mainly on competitive markets where the margins are very tight.
Nowadays, organizations have to deal with a huge variety of products which have different prices depending on the season and other pricing variables.

Openbravo manages prices through three pricing related concepts:

• the Price List
• the Price List Schema
• and the Price List Version

And allows the creation of:

• General Sales and/or Purchase Price List
• Specific Price Lists for a specific supplier or customer, or a group of them.
• Based on cost Price list based on product cost

The way these concepts work in Openbravo is described below high level:

1. Creation of Price List/s:
   1. A "Default Price List Schema" with no configuration at all, is created by default after creating an organization.
   2. The "Default Price List Schema" is the schema to be used in the creation of the price lists which are NOT a "Price List Version".
   3. The Price Lists linked to the "Default Price List Schema" might contain both the net list price and the net unit prices of the products.
