Run the Price Setup WizardLast updated on 03/23/2022
The Price Setup Wizard sets service and equipment item prices across subcategories, categories, or your entire pricebook. The wizard calculates prices based on the billing rates, mark-ups, surcharges, and member discounts that you set, saving you time when setting up your pricebook. Also, the Pricebook Setup Wizard takes the guesswork out of pricing, helping you maximize profitability.
Things to know
The Price Setup Wizard lets you set flat-rate pricing for your service and equipment items—costs, labor, and surcharges are bundled under a single price.
You can edit prices for individual items after you run the wizard.
If you have inventory tracking enabled, material and equipment costs are calculated using costs from the Primary Vendor for that item. Account configuration is required to use inventory tracking. Please contact your success or implementation manager for details.
Material mark-ups settings are also used to mark up equipment costs.
If a customer’s membership includes a discount, the discount is applied to the standard price. If the membership discounted price and the member price as calculated by the Wizard are different, the lesser price is used on the invoice or estimate.
