Framework VPB Browser is a stand-alone application that allows view and search access to all areas of the Variation Price Books (VPB) without the need to be logged into other Framework Product Suite applications. Although no changes can be made to the VPB using this application, it is a handy tool to quickly view the price or notes of a VPB item. A benefit of Framework VPB Browser is that it does not require a licence to run and thus can be installed on any workstation and viewed by any user with Framework ECM access.
