Customer Item Prices

Customer Item Prices let you define per-customer pricing for specific items, overriding the normal or default pricing rules.

Guides

What this is

A Customer Item Price is a pricing override that links:

  • a Customer
  • an Item
  • a Price

When billing is calculated, ParcelPilot can use this override instead of the normal tariff rules.

When to use

Use Customer Item Prices when you need to:

  • override default tariffs for a specific customer
  • handle special-case pricing without changing global rules
  • price exceptions for unusual items

When not to use

Avoid Customer Item Prices if:

  • the change should apply to all customers
  • you are fixing a one-off invoice issue
  • the customer should be charged differently based on order-level context such as destination, service, or ecommerce platform

How pricing is applied

In most setups, pricing is applied in this general priority order:

  1. Customer Item Price override
  2. Normal pricing rules or tariffs
  3. Defaults or fallbacks

The key idea is that the more specific rule wins.

Common workflows

Add a special price

  1. Go to Customer Item Prices.
  2. Click Create.
  3. Select the Customer.
  4. Select the Item.
  5. Enter the Price fields.
  6. Save.

Update or remove a special price

  • update the record when the customer's agreement changes
  • remove the override if the customer should return to standard tariff pricing

Tips

  • keep prices consistent with Monthly Operations expectations
  • document why a special price exists
  • avoid duplicates for the same Customer plus Item combination
