A pricelist is a list of prices or price rules that Odoo searches to determine the suggested price. One can seamlessly create a specific pricelist or a price rate for a specific customer. The pricelist or price rate can be for a specific product or for a group of products.

One can set several criteria’s in Odoo to use a specific price: It can be: Periods, Quantity, Quality, Service, Economic environment, Competition, Product demand. By using Odoo pricelist, one can easily manage the product pricing depending on the company needs. As pricelists only suggest prices, they can be overridden by users completing sales orders.

The option can be used for creating pricelists for your customer segments or to set different pricelists with different currencies.

2) Advance price rules (discounts, formulas)

The option allows to set price change rules. Changes can be relative to the public price, product cost price, or to another pricelist. Calculation of changes is made upon the surcharges and discounts making it fit the minimum and maximum margin set by the user. Further, Odoo enables the rounding of prices to the nearest cent or dollar or even the multiple of both.
