NetSuite Price Levels: Understanding the Hierarchy and Default Settings

Written by: Bernadette Evardone

In the world of NetSuite, pricing plays a crucial role in managing transactions and ensuring accurate billing for customers. As a NetSuite user, it's essential to have a clear understanding of the price levels and their hierarchy to effectively set and manage prices for your products or services. In this article, we will dive into the hierarchy of price levels that default to transactions, providing you with valuable insights on how to navigate this aspect of NetSuite

Item Pricing

At the top of the hierarchy, we have item pricing. This refers to the specific customer prices that are set on individual customer records. It allows you to assign absolute prices for specific customers, ensuring accurate pricing for each transaction. By setting item pricing, you can establish unique pricing agreements with your customers based on their specific needs.

Pricing Group

Next in the hierarchy is the pricing group. This feature allows you to define customer-specific price levels for groups of items. By grouping items together, you can easily manage and update prices for a specific set of products or services. This is particularly useful when you have similar pricing structures for different groups of customers or products.

Price Level Set in the Customer Record

Moving down the hierarchy, we have the price level set in the customer record. This allows you to assign a default price level for each customer. When a transaction is created for a customer, NetSuite will automatically default to the price level specified in their customer record. It provides a convenient way to ensure consistent pricing for each customer without the need to manually adjust prices for every transaction.

Base Price

The next level in the hierarchy is the base price, which is set in the item record. The base price serves as the starting point for calculating the final transaction price. It acts as a reference point that can be adjusted based on the price levels defined in the customer record or item group.

Custom Price Lastly, if no price level is defined in either the customer record or item record, NetSuite will default to the custom price. This allows you to manually enter a price for a transaction without relying on any predefined price levels. Custom prices provide flexibility in situations where you need to negotiate prices on a case-by-case basis.

Understanding the hierarchy of price levels in NetSuite is essential for maintaining accurate pricing and ensuring a smooth transaction process. By leveraging item pricing, pricing groups, and customer-specific price levels, you can streamline your pricing strategy and provide personalized pricing for your customers.

Conclusion

NetSuite offers a robust pricing system that allows businesses to set and manage prices effectively. By understanding the hierarchy of price levels and leveraging the default settings in transactions, you can ensure accurate and consistent pricing for your products or services.

Remember, mastering the pricing functionality in NetSuite is crucial for operational users like you to effectively manage transactions and provide exceptional customer service. So, take the time to explore and utilize the various price level options available in NetSuite to optimize your pricing strategy and drive business success.
