Understanding Price Calculations: Standard vs. Price Lists

Objective: To explain how the system derives the Net Price for operations and to identify when a specific Price List is overriding the standard cost calculation.

1. Standard Calculation (Calculator Icon 🖩)

By default, the system builds the price from the bottom up.

• Formula: Operation Cost + Profit Margin - Discount = Net Price.

• Indicator: You will see a Calculator icon in the far right column.

• Note: Default markups are defined in your Account Settings but can be manually overridden in the Profit margin column for specific jobs.

2. Price List Exception (List Icon ≣)

If a specific condition is met (e.g., a specific Customer, Quantity, or Material), the system may trigger a Price List Exception. This overrides the standard cost-based calculation and applies a fixed or custom price instead.

• Indicator: You will see a Bulleted List icon in the far right column.

• Example: In the screenshot below, the second row shows a cost of €33.00 but a Net Price of €200.00. The List icon indicates that this €200.00 price was pulled directly from a Price List, ignoring the standard margin.

• If the price seems "disconnected" from your costs (too high or too low), check for the List Icon.

• If you see the icon, the price is coming from a pre-defined Price List, not the standard profit margin settings.
