As this will replace many separate previous Courses, we encourage Colleges to make all except one Course active. For example, if you previously had separate entries for General English 1-9 weeks at $310 and General English 10 - 19 weeks at $300 etc., this new Price Book does not need multiple courses to be listed in the future. We encourage you to make all General English courses listed with separate prices except one, which is in-active. Then change the name of one, for example General English 1 - 9 weeks to General English (This is for display, which is what is seen when the course name is selected for a report).
You may also have prices for General English price books as the same prices / rate as those for English for Academic purposes. You could then again use the same Price Book.
After you have selected the courses they will be displayed in the courses tab:
