Using selling bands (pricelists) in Aphix SalesRep

Purpose and scope

As a merchant, you may wish to offer different pricelists to different customers. Using pricelists in Aphix SalesRep makes it easy to manage the relationship between a specific set of customers and a specific price list. There are nine pricelists (also known as pricing slots or selling bands) for use within Aphix SalesRep. One pricelist is set at your default. Prices listed on this selling band are displayed in Aphix SalesRep when you log in initially. You can move to another selling band provided you are online when you are using Aphix SalesRep.

Selling bands are configured and managed in your ERP. Each one is mapped during app build.

Integration with ERPs

Intact: each pricelist maps to a specific group of customers.

SAP Business One: one pricelist is stored within Aphix SalesRep; however, when you are online, other pricelists configured in SAP Business One can be retrieved and displayed on the order screen in Aphix SalesRep.

Sage: currently not supported.

The purpose of this feature guide is to demonstrate how and when to use selling bands.

Benefits

Using selling bands:

Makes it easier to organise multiple selling options for either individual customers or groups of customers
Allows you to manage your prices centrally in your ERP and then sync them in SalesRep
Allows you to apply a consistent pricing policy across your business by using minimum pricing for products
Complicated pricing rules, such as customer price lists or calculated discounts, are automatically calculated when products are ordered if SalesRep is online.
