Odoo offers a complete solution for the business needs of manufacturers and other business enterprises. An important part of every business is the preparation and maintenance of a price list. Odoo has developed an impressive price list feature that is sure to help a business to survive in the competitive market. Odoo also enables a user to create a price list for customers. This ERP software enables the user to get the best support for preparing a price list for a product or a product category.
Odoo takes into account a set of criteria for fixing prices. The criteria are given below;
Quantity, Quality, Service, Economic environment, Competition, Product demand, and Period.
The success of a business is directly proportional to the pricing of the product. However, the user will have to change the price based on the market situation and other external factors. While the key factors that decide the price are quality, cost of production, and quantity, factors including season, occasion, and the price fluctuation in the market also affect pricing.
Odoo Price List is a feasible option for many business groups engaging in product manufacturing and service providing. To make use of the price list feature, a user will have to install a Sales Module from Odoo Apps.

2. Advanced price rules: This feature enables the user to set rules to change the price. Here, the user can set the rules based on product cost, public price or another pricelist. The user can also make use of the surcharges and discounts to make changes in the price. Odoo also supports the use of rounding of the price.

Surcharge: The price that will be added to or discounted from the sale price while computing the new price.
Rounding method: This will help the user to keep an exact amount

Here, the price discount is 20 percent
Surcharge is -0.02
Rounding 20
Once the new price list is saved the user can go to the sale order again.
The original price of the product was $ 2900. Now with the demo price, the unit price has become $ 2359.99.
So the computation is
New price = 2900 - 20% of 2900 + (-0.01)
= 2359.99
Now we shall change the Surcharge into 10.
Here, the price discount is 20 percent
Surcharge 10
Rounding 10
The price of the acoustic black screen will be 2370
Here, the computation is
New price = 2900 - 20% of 2900 + -10
= 2370
Now we shall change the Surcharge into 10.
Computation based on other pricelists.
We can add a price list under an option to add a price list and the new price will be calculated based on these two price lists if we are computing the price based on the price list.
In this case, we can change the computation of price based on a newly created price list. Here, I have used the New Price List to create new price.
Then I have created a sale order based on the New price list. This will help me to activate the new price list.
