[SAVE]

2. From Company Settings, Press the More Top Tab then Select Price Rules to display the Pricing Rules Top Tab
3. From the Pricing Rules Top Tab, Select a Pricing Rule then from a Price Rule’s “Labour / Labour Quoting Per Minute” select a “Rule” and “Value” that gives you the wanted Sell Price*
Examples;
Rule = Fixed with Value = "$ Value" Uses the entered $ Value as a Sell Price
Rule = Margin with Value = "% Value" Uses the entered % Value to calculate a Sell Price with a “Margin” of the entered % Value
Rule = Trade with a Value = "% Value" Uses the entered % Value of the Trade Price as a “Mark Up” to calculate a Sell Price
⚠️ NOTE: “Labour / Labour Quoting Per Minute” is a minute value, so divide the hourly Sell Price you want by 60 to give you the minute Value rate to enter.
4. When finished [SAVE]
⚠️ NOTE: The Quote will use the Fixed Sell Price until you edit the "Margin (%)" or "Sell Price" of a Section or Layer, which then uses that entry to back-calculate the individual Quote Line Prices for that Section, I.E. ceases to use the Pricing Rule for that Section.
💡 TIP: To see your Labour Costs and Sell Price, add KATLABPRE, KATLABCUT and KATLABFIT to a Manual Section, then give them a Qty of 60. The "Line Cost" and "Line Price" will display your Cost and Sell per hour. You can work through your Price Rule Books to display your Cost and Sell for each.
