Managing Item Price Lists

Updating prices

Updated yesterday

The Item Price Lists page is the central place to manage pricing across all products and variants in Brahmin Solutions.

This screen allows you to quickly update purchase costs, retail pricing, wholesale tiers, and any custom pricing groups β€” all in one structured view.


What Are Price Lists?

A Price List is a pricing tier applied to an item (variant) depending on how it is being purchased or sold.

Price Lists support workflows such as:

  • Vendor purchasing costs

  • Retail customer pricing

  • Wholesale customer pricing

  • Distributor tiers

  • VIP or contract pricing

  • Region-specific pricing

Each item can have multiple prices depending on which list is being used.


Where to Manage Pricing

Pricing can be updated in three primary ways:

1. From a Variant Details Screen

You can update pricing directly when viewing a specific item.

2. From the Item Price Lists Page (recommended for bulk edits)

Navigate to: Inventory β†’ Item Price Lists

This provides a spreadsheet-style pricing manager across all SKUs.

3. Via Imports

Large pricing updates can also be completed through inventory imports (ideal for full catalog refreshes).


Default Price Lists in the System

Brahmin Solutions includes three standard Price Lists by default:

Purchase (Buy)

  • Used for vendor purchasing and cost tracking

  • Supports MAC and procurement workflows

Retail (Sell)

  • Default selling price for standard customer orders

Wholesale (Sell)

  • Default selling price for wholesale or distributor customers

These defaults cover the most common pricing needs.


Custom Price Lists

Beyond the default Purchase, Retail, and Wholesale lists, your organization can create additional custom Price Lists to support more advanced pricing strategies.

Examples of common custom Price Lists include:

  • Distributor Pricing

  • Tier 1 / Tier 2 Wholesale Levels

  • Contract Customer Pricing

  • VIP or Preferred Customer Rates

  • Regional Pricing Groups

  • Promotional or Seasonal Pricing

  • Channel-Specific Pricing (Online vs B2B)

Custom Price Lists allow you to scale pricing across different customer types and purchasing agreements without manually overriding prices on every order.


Buy-Side vs Sell-Side Price Lists

Custom Price Lists can be created for either side of your business:

Buy-Side Pricing (Purchasing Costs)

Used when managing supplier-specific cost structures, such as:

  • Vendor cost tiers

  • Bulk purchase discounts

  • Alternate supplier pricing

Sell-Side Pricing (Customer Selling Prices)

Used when managing customer-facing price tiers, such as:

  • Wholesale vs Retail pricing

  • Distributor price agreements

  • Contract-based pricing


Understanding the Item Price Lists Screen

The Item Price Lists page is organized as a pricing grid:

Key Columns

Column

Description

Name

Variant/item name

SKU

Unique SKU identifier

UOM

Unit of Measure pricing applies to

Purchase

Vendor cost (Buy price list)

Retail / Wholesale / Custom Lists

Selling price tiers

Each row represents a single item, and each column represents a different price list.


Searching for Items

At the top of the page, you can search by:

  • SKU code

  • Item name

  • Variant name

  • UOM

  • UPC

This makes it easy to find the exact products you want to reprice.


Updating Prices

To update pricing:

  1. Navigate to Inventory β†’ Item Price Lists

  2. Locate the item row

  3. Click into the pricing field under the appropriate Price List

  4. Enter the updated value

  5. Click Save

Changes apply immediately to transactions using that Price List.


Saving Views and Filtering Pricing Lists

This page supports flexible pricing workflows using:

  • Filters (ex: only Sell items, only Bundles, only specific warehouses)

  • Saved Views for recurring pricing work

  • Custom layouts for different teams (sales vs purchasing)

Use this to maintain separate pricing views for:

  • Procurement teams

  • Sales teams

  • Distributor pricing managers


Exporting Price Lists

To download current pricing:

  • Click Export in the top-right corner

This is useful for:

  • Offline review

  • Vendor negotiations

  • Bulk pricing adjustments

  • Import templates


Best Practices

  • Maintain Purchase pricing for accurate cost and MAC calculations

  • Use Retail and Wholesale as your baseline selling tiers

  • Create additional price lists only when needed for customer segmentation

  • Use Imports for large-scale catalog repricing

  • Use Saved Views for recurring pricing updates
