Using Price List, you can keep track of multiple [Item Prices](https://github.com/frappe/books_docs/blob/master/docs/entries/price-list.md#item-price-table-fields) for sales and purchase.

An Item can by priced differently depending on whether it is for sale or purchase, if it is discount season, etc.

A Price List helps by grouping multiple item prices under a single entry. You can then select this entry when making a Sales or a Purchase Invoice, and when an item is selected its rate will be fetched from the Price list.

To use Price Lists you need to first enable them.
