Sales Pricing Settings

 

The Sales Pricing division setup entails configuring worksheet settings, folder settings, and setting the default plan type.

 

Understanding the Worksheet Settings

The Worksheet Settings allow the client to determine the effect that price changes and taxes have on worksheet calculations, the resulting sales prices that are saved to the sales database, and ultimately the sales prices sent to the sales center.
