QAD provides automatic pricing across several transactions, including customer and supplier schedules, purchase orders, and sales orders. This means prices are automatically pulled from the corresponding datasets, ensuring consistency and accuracy without having to enter them manually each time.
The best way to maintain prices in QAD is through Item Master Maintenance. However, that method lacks flexibility, especially when working with multiple customers, suppliers, or contract-based pricing. To handle those real-world nuances, QAD offers two primary pricing models: Base Pricing and List Discount Table Pricing. Depending on the transaction type, QAD automatically applies the relevant pricing structure to ensure the right price is assigned every time.
QAD also supports other specialized pricing functions, such as the Service Parts price list and miscellaneous price lists, which handle costs for items like labor or project-related expenses. This multi-layered framework makes QAD pricing exceptionally flexible—but that flexibility comes at a cost.
Maintaining price lists in QAD can be complex and time-consuming. It requires a strong understanding of the pricing hierarchy and careful management of pricing data. Many users find this process challenging, which leads some organizations to bypass automated pricing altogether. Instead, they manually enter and verify prices for every transaction—a practice that slows processes, increases workload, and heightens the risk of human error.
