When to combine price lists
TRAEDE allows you to assign multiple price lists to the same customer or customer group. In most cases:
-
Each price list contains prices for different products or variants.
-
There is no conflict, and TRAEDE will simply merge them into one complete price list.
✅ If there are no overlapping products, prices are merged automatically.
What happens when price lists overlap?
If multiple price lists assigned to a customer contain the same product, TRAEDE uses the priority field to decide which price to apply.
Example scenario:
| Price list | Assigned to | Contains product | Priority |
|---|---|---|---|
| List A | Best customers | Rubber boot | 1 |
| List B | Best customers | Rubber boot | 2 |
-
Both lists apply to the same customer.
-
Both include a price for Rubber boot.
-
TRAEDE will use the price from List A, because it has the lowest priority number.
🔢 Lower priority number = Higher priority in TRAEDE
How to use priority effectively
-
Go to the price list settings.
-
Locate the Priority field.
-
Enter a number (default is usually
1). -
Use lower numbers for the most important price lists.
Best practice and recommendations
-
✅ Use one price list per customer or group whenever possible.
-
⚠️ Combining multiple price lists increases complexity.
-
❌ Avoid having multiple price lists with overlapping products unless you have a strong reason and understand how priorities work.
💡 Combined price lists are powerful but can make maintenance and troubleshooting more difficult. Use with caution.
