The salesperson should not have to remember which spreadsheet, quotation or message contains the current price.

Where can the price come from?

Standard price
The list everyone starts from.
Customer or account price
What was agreed with this buyer.
Contract price
A rate that runs for a defined period.
Current scheme
Where one is running.
Manual exception
Somebody decided, and said so.

Which pricing methods exist depends on how the business already sells and what pricing rules are configured. None of this appears by itself.

Make the price source visible.

A price with a named source is a price somebody can defend on a phone call.

Where the system holds a validity period, show it. Where it does not, say nothing rather than inventing a “valid until” date — a made-up expiry is worse than no expiry.

Let unusual prices become exceptions.

A missing or unusual price should ask for attention instead of being guessed.

A dealer has a price too. The difference is that a dealer’s price is one term inside a relationship with targets and territories attached, and that relationship is a pillar of its own.

Where should the price appear?

Four ways an order arrives, one answer to “what does this cost them?”. A price that is right on the portal and wrong on the order pad is worse than no portal.
