# Why is the markup for services not applying when adding materials individually using dynamic pricing?

## Problem

I'm having an issue where setting the markup for services does not work when adding materials individually. The actions cancel each other out.

## Solution

By following these steps, you should be able to apply dynamic pricing correctly to services and materials without issues.

### Uncheck static prices for service items

1. In ServiceTitan, go to the navigation bar and click **Pricebook**.
2. In the side menu, click **Services.**
3. Find the service items you want to apply dynamic pricing to.
4. For each service item, uncheck the **Use Static Prices** checkbox.

### Avoid using client-specific pricing rate sheets on the same invoice or estimate

1. Ensure that you do not assign a client-specific pricing rate sheet to the invoice or estimate where you want dynamic pricing to apply.
2. If you previously set up client-specific pricing rules and deactivated them, confirm they are not affecting your current invoice or estimate.

To check:

1. In ServiceTitan, go to the navigation bar and click **Pricebook**.
2. In the side menu, click **Pricing Builder**.
3. Select the **Client-Specific Pricing** tab.
4. Click **Filters**.
5. Select the **Inactive** status to see if any inactive rules might still be applied to your current work.

### Create or adjust estimates without client-specific rate sheets

1. If an estimate was created while client-specific pricing rules were active, it might still carry the rate sheet even after deactivation.
2. Create a new estimate or check your current estimate to ensure no rate sheet is assigned inadvertently.
