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
- Search for the product in Rate Library → Products.
- Click it to open the detail view.
- Click + Add Price.
- 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, UOMeach. - 10 m roll priced per roll → pack qty
10, UOMm. - Sold per base unit (e.g. concrete by the m³) → leave pack qty as
1, UOM blank.
- Box of 100 screws priced per box → pack qty
- Effective date — when this price became valid. Use the date on the quote or invoice, not today.
- The Unit Rate is computed for you (
pack price ÷ pack qty) and is the figure that flows into estimates. - 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.
