I feel the concept of Price Lists does not work as intended. To test this, I
did following.

Created 3 products in Product Catalog
Product 1 List Price $100
Product 2 List Price $100
Product 3 List Price $100

Created two Price lists
Price List A
Contains all three products in Price List items
Product 1 Percent of list, 100%
Product 2 Percent of list, 100%
Product 3 Percent of list, 100%

Price List B
Contains only one product in Price List items
Product 1 Percent of list, 50%

In the Opportunity, When Price List selected = Price List B
I can add the products 2 and 3 (It takes the pricing rules from Price List
A). I think this is wrong. When Price List B is selected, the Opportunity
Product should not even show Products 2 and 3 as they are not in the Price
List

If I remove the price list Item from Price List B (Contains no price list
items), and in opportunity, if I specify Price list B, the product pricing
occurs according to Price List A.

I also noticed that in the product, the default Price List is set to Price
List A. If I remove the default Price list for each Product, then the product
is not shown at all in Opportunity Product lookup no matter what Price list
I select.

This means that a product MUST be added to at least one Price List, and at
least one of the price lists MUST be set as default Price List for the
product to appear in the Opportunity-Product lookup.

What I was expecting is that if I select Price list B, the lookup should
show only those products in Price list B. If I select Price List A, lookup
should show only those products in Price List A.
However, that doesn’t seem to be happening. I would appreciate Microsoft input
whether this is by design or it is a product bug?

I agree with you.

I have 3 price lists. (Bronze, Silver and Gold)

Not all products be available with the associated price list.

e.g. Some products are only associate with gold, so when I quote for Silver
products using my Silver Price List, I do not want to see Bronze and Gold
products, as they are not available to Silver customers.

With the current solution, the following scenario gets enabled. I have two
price lists - Gold and Base. ProductA, ProductB belong to both Gold & Base,
ProductC only belongs to base. Now, I'm selling to an opportunity with Gold
Pricelist, but this opportunity also wants to buy ProductC. So I get to keep
the Prices in Gold for ProductA and B, but at the same time I get to add
ProductC for selling using the base pricelist (since ProductC's default
pricelist is Base).
the product team has gone back and forth over this an ideal solution
would be to give users a choice on which type of products do they want to
see when they try to select products in Opportunity/Quotes/Orders etc.
We've entered this as a suggestion for future releases.

If you want to have your products in only one pricelist, don't use the
default price list on the entity product.

Your products will be available with the correct price list as
required.
