Setting Fixed Manual Prices for Catalog Parts
Catalog admins now have the ability to manually set fixed prices for Catalog parts, offering greater control over pricing and transparency across the platform.
How to Enable Fixed Pricing
When creating or editing a Catalog part:
The Manual Price toggle is off by default, and the calculated price is displayed.
Turn on the Manual Price toggle to input a specific price. The calculated price will remain visible below the input field for reference.
If no printing service is selected or ERP is disabled:
The fixed price option is still available, but no calculated price suggestions will be displayed.
Key Considerations for Fixed Pricing
Currency: Fixed prices are displayed in the main service currency or, if no service is selected, the user’s currency.
Net Pricing: Fixed prices are shown as NET prices, and no tax calculations are performed.
Restrictions:
Fixed prices cannot be negative or set to zero.
Prices are locked once the part is added to a basket, ensuring consistency throughout checkout and sales transactions.
Reorders reflect the most recently set fixed price for the Catalog part.
Using Labels for Part Classification
Using Labels, Catalog admins can replicate an organization’s existing part classification system.
...
Example:
Downhole equipment → Impeller
Downhole equipment → Valve
Labels can be created on-the-fly.
