Create Price¶
The price creation form is used for the structured entry of new price records. Prices are assigned to individual product types with commercial parameters such as costs, quantities, units, tax, and price groups.

| No. | Field | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|---|
| ① | Type Name | Selection of the product type for which the price is defined | Yes |

| ③ | Price Min | Minimum allowable price (e.g., for discount limits) | No |
| ④ | Price Max | Maximum possible price in a price scale | No |
| ⑤ | Start Date | Start date of the price validity (ISO format) | Yes |

All fields marked with an asterisk (*) must be filled in to save the entry. Date fields require a valid ISO date (YYYY-MM-DD), numeric fields expect decimal numbers in the format 0.00.
Typical Workflows¶
Creating new product prices: When initially recording a product or expanding the range, a new price is created with all required parameters.
Defining tiered prices: By combining Price, Price Min/Max, and Discount, flexible pricing structures can be configured.
Assignment to price groups: The "Price Groups" field allows differentiation by target groups (e.g., B2B, B2C).
Calculation basis for reporting: The "Cost" and "Tax" fields enable a clean separation between net and gross values for accounting and controlling.
Tip
The system can work with default values, e.g., standard tax rate, standard unit, or automatically populated end date. The editing of certain fields (e.g., Discount, Cost) may be restricted based on roles.
