Apply Contract Pricing to an Estimate or Order
When Contract Pricing has been configured for a customer, you can apply it to any estimate or order created for that customer. If no contract pricing is selected, the system will use your standard pricing rules.
After selecting the customer on an estimate or order, an Attach Contract Pricing option will be available. This option only appears for customers with one or more Contract Pricing records configured.
To apply a contract:
- Click Attach Contract Pricing.
- Select the desired contract pricing agreement.
- Click Save & Close.
How Contract Pricing Works
- Services included in the contract use the pricing defined in the Contract Pricing setup.
- Quantity discounts and pricing breaks are automatically applied based on the contract rules.
- Services not included in the contract continue to use standard pricing.
- Wizards update production details but do not alter contract pricing.
- Contract Pricing is only applied when a specific contract is attached to the estimate or order.
Benefits
Contract Pricing eliminates the need for manual price overrides and helps ensure negotiated pricing remains consistent across newly created, updated, and copied estimates and orders.
