How to Set Up Pricing Versions

The Pricing Versions feature simplifies the process of updating finance item amounts by allowing bulk updates based on user-defined criteria, without needing to create new finance items for every price change. This approach retains pricing history and provides a clear view of all finance item amounts across different versions.
The feature also strengthens internal controls by enabling the setting of default pricing versions, which helps mitigate the risk of selecting incorrect finance item amounts. This ensures consistency and reduces errors in financial transactions. Additionally, default pricing versions can be configured at the Course or Unit Offer level, ensuring the correct fees are automatically applied during learner enrolment. This flexibility supports managing multiple fee versions simultaneously, enhancing both invoicing accuracy and overall operational efficiency.
