Short answer: A tile price list should start from one base rate per design and size, then add one price list per buyer type: retail at a fixed counter rate, contractors at a discount on the base, and builders on a formula or fixed rate above a minimum quantity. Give scheme rates start and end dates. Set the price list on each buyer so every quotation picks the right rate without anyone working it out at the counter.
Dealers in Ahmedabad and across Gujarat quote the same design to families, contractors and builders, often on the same day. This guide covers the price lists you need, how to set them up and how SAS holds them. For schemes, see dealer order and scheme tracking.
Why do tile rates go wrong at the counter?
Because the rate lives in a salesperson's head or a notebook. Two contractors get two rates, a scheme rate continues after the scheme ends, and a builder order gets a retail rate.
What price lists does a tile dealer need?
Start with four:
Retail: a fixed counter rate per box.
Contractor: a trade discount on the base rate.
Builder or project: a rate above a minimum quantity.
Scheme: a discount valid between two dates.
How should a tile price list be set up?
Set each rule with four parts.
Computation: fixed price, discount, or formula.
Minimum quantity: the rate applies from a set number of boxes.
Validity: start and end date.
Applies to: one design, a product category, or all products.
Then set the price list on each buyer, along with payment terms.
How do price lists and quotations work together?
When a quotation is made for a buyer, it should pick the rate from the price list on that buyer. The salesperson should not type the rate. If a rate must change, change the price list, so the next quote is right too.

How should a tile dealer set up price lists for different buyers?
Keep one base rate per design and size, then a price list for retail, contractors, builders and schemes. Set the right price list on each buyer so quotations pick the rate.
Should scheme rates have an end date?
Yes. Give every scheme a start and end date so the rate stops on time.
Can a price list rate depend on quantity?
Yes. Set a minimum quantity on the rule so the project rate applies only above it. SAS price lists support a minimum quantity.
Who should be allowed to change rates?
One or two people, not every salesperson. Others should quote from the price list.
Does SAS support discount and fixed price lists?
Yes. The SAS price list article covers formula, discount and fixed price rules.
