Our business model requires customer-specific pricing to be loaded. I can't find an extension anywhere that does this. Am I just not looking hard enough? Anyone seen anything like this available?

use the customers group to separate the customers. That will allow you to set different pricing for different groups of customers

I see there are different groups, which is fine... but what am I supposed to do? Create a new customer group for every account? Is OC designed to have so many customer groups? How much would this slow down the system, if at all, to have hundreds or thousands of different customer groups?

may be but extension will also have to implement almost same thing. so more or less both should slow down site equally.

Every accounting system I have ever used had the ability to have customer-specific pricing (on the product level, set price, not % discount, just a simple price quote for that product for that customer).
i had the same problem, every customer has different % off, so i added this plugin
The problem is, we have over 100,000 products and close to 1,000 manufacturers in our database. Our margins on one product line may be higher or lower than with another, so we can't just have a broad % discount across the board, or we might end up losing money on some products. Make sense?

So, for now, are you saying that we should just create a duplicate instance of the customer's primary account--set pricing there--and use that as a workaround?

I am willing to bet someone could make a lot of money by releasing an extension which adds a tab to the customer view for "Price Quotes"... MPN / SKU # / Price... mod the pricing calculation at the stem if logged in and account number exists in the custom price quote table... seems simple enough from a logical standpoint, I would think.

What you do is create customer groups to assign to your customers in Admin in Sales > Customers > Customer Groups. Then for each product you want custom pricing go to the Discount tab, select the appropriate customer group, assign a quantity of 1, and set the price you'd like. Then you go to Sale > Customers > Customers and assign the appropriate customer group for each customer.

This should be faster than per customer pricing since customers with the same pricing can be assigned the same customer group.
