TallyPrime offers an excellent feature to manage different pricing for various customers, such as Distributors, Wholesalers, Retailers, and others. This is done using Price Lists and Price Levels. With this feature, businesses can streamline their sales process and automatically apply the correct price for each category of customers.
Price List are available only for inventory items and hence the feature is available only if Inventory and invoicing are activated for the company.
In this blog, we’ll explain how to use Price List and Price Level in TallyPrime with step-by-step instructions and practical examples.
What are Price List and Price Level in TallyPrime?
- Price List: A predefined list of prices for items based on different categories (e.g., distributor price, wholesale price, retail price).
- Price Level: Categories or groups created for different customer types (e.g., Distributor, Wholesaler, Retailer).
When you associate a price level with a customer, TallyPrime automatically applies the corresponding prices during sales transactions.
Why Use Price List and Price Level?
- Efficient Pricing: Automatically apply the correct price for different customers.
- Time-Saving: No need to manually calculate or apply discounts for each sale.
- Error-Free Billing: Reduces the chances of pricing errors in sales invoices.
Create Price Levels
You can create multiple price levels based on your customer categories:
- Go to Gateway of Tally > Inventory Info > Price Levels > Create.
- Enter the names of the price levels, such as:
- Distributor
- Wholesaler
- Retailer
- Press Ctrl + A to save.
Step 3: Define Price List for Each Price Level
- Go to Gateway of Tally > Inventory Info > Price List.
- Select a Price Level (e.g., Distributor).
- Choose the item and unit for which you want to set the price.
- Enter the rates for each item. For example:
- Product A: ₹90 (Distributor), ₹95 (Wholesaler), ₹100 (Retailer)
- Product B: ₹150 (Distributor), ₹160 (Wholesaler), ₹170 (Retailer)
- Press Ctrl + A to save.
Repeat this process for other price levels like Wholesaler and Retailer.
Step 4: Assign Price Levels to Customers

Create a Sales Invoice
When recording a sales transaction, TallyPrime will automatically apply the price based on the customer’s assigned price level:

- Select the customer (e.g., Distributor XYZ).
- Add the item details. The price list for the selected Price Level will be applied automatically.
- Save the invoice by pressing Ctrl + A.
Practical Example
Let’s consider a scenario where your business sells Product A and Product B. You offer different prices based on customer type:
Product | Distributor (₹) | Wholesaler (₹) | Retailer (₹) |
---|---|---|---|
Product A | 90 | 95 | 100 |
Product B | 150 | 160 | 170 |
Example Steps:
- Create price levels: Distributor, Wholesaler, Retailer.
