Managing Price Information

The Price Information option of the main menu on the Rural Sourcing Management system's Web interface allows you to check pricing status and set all online prices for the agricultural products.

The Rural Sourcing Management system allows for both online pricing and offline pricing. Online prices are set on the back end through the Web interface and cannot be changed in the field, but offline prices can only be changed from individual mobile devices in the field. Online pricing can be set for everyone and special pricing can be set for individual organizations.

The pricing list displays all prices, by default. You can choose to display only Pending or only Valid prices by selecting the appropriate radio button. You can also search the pricing list for a specific product or organization or you can search by the start date of the price.

For each price in the price list, the following fields are displayed:

Price
Product
Organization (if applicable)
Start Date
Status - statuses include:
- Valid - this indicates that this price is current for the product and organization combination
- Overridden - this indicates that this price is no longer valid because there is a more current, valid price for the product and organization combination
- Pending - this indicates a price that is set for use for a future date. Once that date arrives, the status automatically changes to Valid.

To create a new price, click the Add Price button and complete the appropriate pricing fields, and click Save. All fields on the New Price screen are required with the exception of Organization. The fields include:

Product - select a product from the drop-down menu
Organization - optionally, select an organization from the drop-down menu
Amount - enter the product price
Currency - enter the currency
Unit of Measurement - enter the unit of measurement applicable for this price
Start Date - select a date from the calendar on which this price is to become valid
