Why Should I Use a Pricebook?

If your Supplier has supplied a product list that includes thousands of product codes that you wish to have available in Infusion, we would strongly recommend importing these products into a Pricebook instead of your Product file. 

The Pricebook utility sits to the side of the Products table and is available from Invoices, Quotes, Jobs and Purchase Orders by entering /P in the Product Code Column.

This will open a Window where you will see any Supplier Pricebooks you have loaded, you can then select the relevant Pricebook, and  search for the required product within that Pricebook and opt to bring these into your product list to use immediately on your Invoice / Quote / Job or Purchase Order.  

The selected product will now be a part of your Product list.

Using Pricebooks avoids importing thousands of Products that can slow searching within the Products menus. These products may never be purchased or sold but by using a Pricebook these products are easily accessible and update.
