In manufacturing and fabrication, precision in cost management and pricing is essential. This article offers a concise guide to editing costs and applying prices within SecturaFAB.
1. Let’s start with editing costs. Expand a quoted line item to view the “Primary Costs” tab.
2. In the “Primary Costs” tab, you have the option to adjust costs for material and primary operations. Let’s adjust the material cost.
3. Adjust the material cost to “0.75.” This will increase any calculated component dependent on material cost. Notice the field name “Material Cost” is now red to account for the change.
4. Use the “Margin” field within the “Primary Costs” menu to apply a margin. Notice the “Unit Price” change once a profit margin is added. In this example we used a Margin percentage of 15% .
5. Another way to apply a price is by adding to the entire quote. Use the global margin box to apply the same 15% margin in the previous example to the entire quote.
