Viewing The Result of the Negotiated Price List Upload
As soon as you have uploaded your price list in ServiceChannel, the following changes happen:
When completing a proposal, you and your provider can select material and other charges from the pre-negotiated list.
When completing a line-item invoice for a specified location, you and your provider will be able to select material and other charges from the pre-negotiated list. If the material or other charges price is higheror lower than the negotiated price, you will see the Warningiconshowing a mismatch.
Prompting your provider to enter the reason for the price mismatch is a good idea. The reasons will appear on the Invoice Details page, and you will not have to contact providers to clarify these reasons.
Contact your ServiceChannel manager to enable the feature.
