Sales price setup
You can create a sales price for a specific group of customers. Business Central combines different ways of affecting a price, like defining a specific price, discount or a combination of both for a group of customers. These configurations can be performed in the Sales Price List page.

Apply item discount
Item discount is applied in much the same way as described in the main procedure above, the only difference being that instead of defining unit prices, you can define the discount.
In the following example, you’re assigning a discount percentage that all customers will benefit from. If 5 x items with Item Discount Group = A are sold, the customer will benefit from 15% discount on the 5 items.
You can also set a “Wild Card” whereby you include all Items in the scheme. In the last line, the Product Type = Item & The Product No = BLANK. This is a function in Business Central that permits you to give a 3 % on all items to all customers.
Combine sales price with item discount
In this example, you can see that different sales price, item discounts or even a combination of both can be set in the system in one price list. Both pricing and discount setup can be performed in one page instead of having to navigate to each Item card to set up pricing and apply discounts individually.
Set up price worksheet
If you want to update prices for multiple items without having to change settings in each Item Card individually, you can create a Default Price List in the Price Worksheet administrative section.
