Adding Additional Costs to a Price Tier

If you're using price tiers to maintain your product pricing, you can add on extra costs on a per-tier basis. An example of when this might be useful is if a certain region requires special certification or testing to sell your products. You could include the cost of maintaining that certification or having that testing done as a Fixed add-on cost. If you must pay a regional tax or duty on the product, you could include that as a Sell-Price Dependent cost.

To add these costs into a price tier:

1. In the Inventory Centre, click on Maintain Products. 
                                                                                 
2. Open a product by either double clicking on it, or by clicking on it once and then clicking on Edit  in the lower left corner. 
                          
3. In the Details tab of the product, double click on the price tier that you would like to add costs to. 
                    
4. This will open the Price Tier Worksheet screen. 
                              

Add a Fixed Cost:

If the cost you want to add is a constant, flat-rate amount, you can add it as a fixed cost using these steps:

1. If you would like to add a fixed cost, select the Fixed AddOn Costs tab.
                          
2. Click in the  Description of Cost column, then select an option from the drop-down.
                      
   
   • To add new cost description, click on the   in the Description of Cost header. In the pop-up, click on New, then enter a name for the cost in the Description box. Click OK twice to save and close the pop-ups. 
                                                                                   
3. Enter the cost per sell-by unit into the Curr. Cost column.
                              
4. Hit the Enter key on your keyboard to finish entering this cost and move to the next line.
   
5. Click OK to save your changes.
   

Add a Sell-Price Dependent Cost

Not all costs can be a flat-rate amount, sometimes they depend on the price of the item. Enter those costs using the following steps:

1. Select the Sell-Price Dep. AddOn Costs tab. 
                         
2. Click in the  Description of Cost column, then select an option from the drop-down.
                             
   • To add new cost description, click on the   in the Description of Cost header. In the pop-up, click on New, then enter a name for the cost in the Description box. Click OK twice to save and close the pop-ups.
                          
3. In the Curr. % SP column, enter the percentage of the sell-price associated with the cost. This will update the Curr. Cost (Current Cost) column automatically. 
                            
4. Hit the Enter key on your keyboard to finish entering this cost and move to the next line.
   
5. Click OK to save the changes.
