What is meant by price level in the world of business?

There are two meanings of the term price level in the world of business. One, it refers to the price of assets traded on the market. Other refers to the price of goods and services and is used in reference to inflation.

Mainly in business, it refers to the decision to changed prices based on daily market conditions or trends. To put in simpler terms, say two companies who change prices on the same products by the same amount may get widely different results depending on how they implement the new policy.

Rising and lowering prices effectively involves careful attention to timing. It requires knowing how to affect your customers' perception of the value inherent in what you are selling. It forces you to study and accurately predict the reactions of your competitors.

It is this need when businesses ask the businessmen to journalize in books of accounts for all future references and to know the changing trends in the product line. ERP systems are the best to record these transactions to be made useful at the time of the creation of invoices or quoting or pitching a sales order to a client.
