The primary function of a price/sales catalog is to present information related to products for sale, including their pricing, options, and descriptions. This resource is designed to help customers make informed purchasing decisions.

Recording sales transactions is generally not a function of a price/sales catalog. While a catalog facilitates the selling process by communicating product information, sales transactions are typically processed through different systems, such as point-of-sale (POS) systems or e-commerce platforms. These systems capture details of individual sales, inventory levels, and customer data, whereas a price/sales catalog serves more as a static reference tool.

In contrast, displaying product options, providing pricing details, and offering product descriptions are key functions of a price/sales catalog, making it an essential resource for both sellers and customers in understanding what is available and its associated costs.
