The vendors' price list lists fixed rates you pay to your vendors for the completed jobs in specific language combinations. The price list can be used as the default payment settings for the completed jobs. You may assign one price list to multiple vendors and define several different price lists.

I. Add a new price list

  1. Sign in to the Home Portal.

  2. Go to the Vendors module > Price Lists tab.

     

  3. Click the Add Price list button. The Add Vendor Price List pop-up window appears.

     

    1. In the Name field, provide a unique name.

    2. (Optional) Select the Add also the Reverse Language Combination(s) checkbox to automatically create the reverse language combinations for the chosen language pairs. If you create the "“language A to the language B"” combination, the "“language B to the language A"” combination is created automatically.
