How do I set up multiple price points for a single item? (E.g. retail, wholesale, and distributor rates, so all types pull from the same inventory pool)

I recognize your need for the Price Rules Beta feature, @NTI7405

 

While this functionality is still unavailable in QuickBooks Online, I'd also consider providing feedback to our product engineers. This helps them make QBO better for you. Here's how:

 

  1. Click on the Gear icon.
  2. Hit Feedback.
  3. Fill in your comments or product suggestions. 
  4. Then hit Next to submit feedback.

 

You can also keep track of feature updates by browsing our webpage: Customer Feedback for QuickBooks Online.

 

Nonetheless, I can share with you some workarounds. The first thing I'd advise is to manually input the correct price when creating an invoice in the Rate column.

 

The second option is to search for an inventory management app that is accessible in your region and can integrate with QBO.

 

If you're good, feel free to also read this extra module I'm adding: Fix negative inventory issues in QuickBooks Online. This keeps your inventory accurate and in order.

 

I'd be glad to assist you further. Just hit the Reply button if you have other questions about inventory, price rules, or QuickBooks. Keep safe.

How do I set up multiple price points for a single item? (E.g. retail, wholesale, and distributor rates, so all types pull from the same inventory pool)

Hi,

 

Its impossible to manually input the price of each item, we have over 500 products in our catalogue.

We are already using a third party add on (Erplain) but this is costing over 40 euros a month.

There are many many requests asking for this feature that is already available in other territories, so this software exists so why can you not just roll it out to everyone??

How do I set up multiple price points for a single item? (E.g. retail, wholesale, and distributor rates, so all types pull from the same inventory pool)

Hello All,

Really having a hard time to understand if QBD enterprise has anything that can help set a list price or base rate whatever its called in there.  i want to set up an automation to update all items under a particular vendor to have 30% margin or markup on cost.  i tried to set up a price rule but when i enter an invoice there is a conflict with the price rules as i have a price rule that gives discount to every customer based on their size.  so for example we bought a product for $10 want to set up a selling price of $15 when a customer buys this product they get 15% discount set up in the system so their price would be $13.50.  Possible??  the customer price rule works but need a way to setup automatic selling price for the product.

Hello there, KP-HTT.

 

The customer rule is based on the original price or cost. Which is $10 not the adjusted price of $15. Therefore, it can't be set to $13.50.

 

In the meantime, you can send feedback to our Product Engineers so they know what to add to the next update.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Click on the Help menu located at the top.
  2. Select Send Feedback Online, then click Product Suggestion.
  3. Type in your feedback or feature request.
  4. Click the Send Feedback button.

 

Additionally, you can search for a third-party application that offers this functionality. Then, integrate with the program. I suggest visiting our QBO Apps Store page to look for the specific app that suits your needs.

 

You can get back on this thread to stay informed if there are any updates regarding the availability of the feature of the pricing rule. If you have any other questions about the program's features, please don't hesitate to keep us posted.

How do I set up multiple price points for a single item? (E.g. retail, wholesale, and distributor rates, so all types pull from the same inventory pool)

Hello. I must say quickbooks online is not to my liking anymore with so many options that are not available for easy and professional booking keeping. We have annual price increases.  I have over 3000 products I must sit n change 3000 products one at a time. There is not an export option available on product list. That would have been an option worth trying. But not available.  We are wholesalers Aldo servicing walking retail buys. Quickbooks does not have this option two price options. Not good. If quickbooks does not fo an update either new options available I will have yo move to another accounting software.

Consider having an inventory management app with multiple pricelists for your resellers and B2B portal to sync with QBO.

Thank you for joining the thread, DD1959. I understand how important it is to have flexible pricing options for retail, wholesale, and distributors.

 

In QuickBooks Desktop Premier, the direct option to set multiple price points for each inventory item is currently unavailable. However, you can achieve a similar result using the available features such as billing rate levels and price levels.

 

Billing rate levels allows you to set custom service rates for different employees and vendors, which is useful when a standard rate is insufficient. For instance, you may need varied rates based on an employee's experience or task difficulty. After creating and associating billing rate levels, QuickBooks automatically applies the correct rate when you invoice billable time.

 

On the other hand, Price levels allows you to customize pricing for various customers or jobs. Once set up and associated with customers or jobs, QuickBooks automatically applies the correct custom price on invoices, estimates, sales receipts, sales orders, and credit memos. You can also manually adjust prices on sales forms. But keep in mind that price levels are automatically used for billable time and reimbursable mileage but not for reimbursable items and expenses from purchase transactions or invoices created from estimates.

 

Here's an article with detailed instructions on how to set up and use billing rate and pricing levels: Set up custom rates or prices for employees, vendors, or customers.

 

But if you want to have more control and precision to set conditions for item price, you can also consider upgrading to QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise which has an Advanced Pricing option. 

 

Keep me posted if you still have further questions or need additional assistance about managing your inventory, DD1959. We’re here to help you optimize your QuickBooks experience and meet your business needs. Have a great weekend!
