Price Books

Introduction

A price book controls the pricing of billable items on quotes and tickets.

When you add a price book, you can:

  • Use the price book for quotes

  • Use the price book for jobs

With Sync 4.0 and AltSync, FieldFX automatically handles the assignment and syncing of price books to users based on their access to jobs.

Price books can be marked as global so that they are always available to all users.

Manually assign additional price books that are not global or for a job the user is assigned to.
