Sales Price Adjustment Request

Price adjustments granted informally — through a conversation with a sales manager or an email that never reaches finance — create pricing inconsistency and financial risk. Discounts are applied without documented justification. The same customer receives different pricing from different sales representatives. And when pricing decisions need to be reviewed or audited, the record of who approved what and why is nowhere to be found.

The Sales Price Adjustment Request template for SharePoint, built with Infowise Ultimate Forms, gives sales teams a structured form to submit pricing modification requests — covering discounts, surcharges, and other adjustments — with a multi-stage approval workflow routing each request to the appropriate stakeholders before any change is authorized.

How it works

The price adjustment request form

Sales team members submit a price adjustment request through a structured form capturing all the information required to evaluate the proposed change — the customer details, the product or products affected, the current price, the proposed adjusted price, the nature of the adjustment (discount, surcharge, or other modification), and the business justification for the change. The consistent format ensures that every request arrives with the same level of detail, enabling reviewers to assess the proposal without follow-up.

Business justification and context

A dedicated justification section gives the requesting sales representative space to explain the rationale for the adjustment — the competitive context, the customer relationship considerations, the volume or strategic significance of the deal, or any other factors relevant to the pricing decision. Capturing justification in a structured format at the point of request means reviewers have the full picture before they make a decision, and the reasoning behind every approved adjustment is documented for future reference.

Multi-stage approval workflow

Each request is routed through a defined approval chain — typically involving the sales supervisor, the sales director, and the finance team — ensuring that pricing changes are reviewed by all the stakeholders responsible for maintaining internal controls and pricing strategy alignment. Each approver reviews the full request in context, records their decision and any comments, and the next stage is triggered automatically. No request can advance without the prior stage being completed.

Audit trail and pricing governance

Every submitted request, approval decision, and comment is stored as part of the same SharePoint record — creating a complete, chronological audit trail of every pricing decision made through the system. Unauthorized price changes are prevented by the structured approval process, and the historical record of all adjustments provides the transparency and accountability that finance, compliance, and senior management require.
