Prices

Recording supplier prices, pack vs. unit, editing rules, and preserving history.

Prices

A product can have many prices — one per supplier, per effective date. Every price you’ve ever entered is kept, so you have a full history and can see how a product’s cost has trended over time.

Adding a price to an existing product

  1. Search for the product in Rate Library → Products.
  2. Click it to open the detail view.
  3. Click + Add Price.
  4. Fill in:
    • Supplier — required. Each price is tied to one supplier so you can compare.
    • Pack price — what you actually pay for the pack (e.g. €45 for a box of 100).
    • Pack qty and Purchase UOM — describe what’s in the pack. Examples:
      • Box of 100 screws priced per box → pack qty 100, UOM each.
      • 10 m roll priced per roll → pack qty 10, UOM m.
      • Sold per base unit (e.g. concrete by the m³) → leave pack qty as 1, UOM blank.
    • Effective date — when this price became valid. Use the date on the quote or invoice, not today.
  5. The Unit Rate is computed for you (pack price ÷ pack qty) and is the figure that flows into estimates.
  6. Save.

Editing and deleting

  • Click any price row to edit. Editing updates the existing price record — use this for typos.
  • To record a price change, add a new price rather than editing the old one. This preserves the history.
  • Deleting a price is permanent and removes it from the history. Avoid unless the price was entered in error.
