Add a Beacon price list to get up to date material costs from your Beacon Pro+ account.
Set Up Product List (default pricing) First
In order to create a Beacon price list, you need to have a populated product list with default pricing created first. This is covered in the Level 2 setup guide. Learn more about setting up your product list here.
Any item in your product list can be linked to an item in your Beacon price list. Before getting started, make sure that your Beacon Pro+ account is linked to SumoQuote.
