Price books overview

With price books you can create lists of preapproved prices for your suppliers. As you work on your request for quote events, you can review and select price book item suggestions. Additionally, you can award matched items and only need to send invitations for unmatched items.

Why use Price Books?

• Efficient process: By leveraging preapproved items and prices, you can simplify your purchasing process.

How do I set it up?

To use price books, you will need to:

• Enable price books: To enable price books, contact your Fairmarkit Customer Success Manager.

• Upload price books lists: Using a Fairmarkit template, you will need to create a list of preapproved prices for each supplier you want enabled. This list must formatted into a Fairmarkit template, and then uploaded to Administration - Price Books.
