Overview
Price Book Regions are used to define the countries that a Price Book covers (for instance all of Europe). When a price book region is configured and active it can then be selected when setting up a Price Book in the product catalog.
Price books allow packages to be setup with different pricing across multiple currencies in different regions that you define. For instance, using multiple price books you can setup a single package frequency that charges €50 for a product in Spain and €40 for a product in Germany.
For more details on how Price Books can be configured see the Price Book screen help and the Package Frequency screen help.
Prerequisites
Price book regions are configured using countries setup in the system. You will need to add additional countries if you wish them to be part of a price book region.
