Quote Stock Grid

The third section of the Quote form contains a grid that is used to record and automatically price any stock being quoted to the customer. Price calculations are determined by the price levels, price breaks and tax requirements, as set in the customer's cardfile, as well as the stock mark-up calculation, that is set in each stock record.

The initial view of the grid is the:

Recommended stock – tick for yes, leave blank for no.

This allows flagging stock as recommended at a line level. When printing the quote, include both the total of the recommended options as well as extras. Very useful when used in conjunction with Kitting.

If left unticked, the value will drop down into the Optional Extras field on the quote report.

Hide

If a black box shows in the Hide box, this will hide the pricing but still show the stock.

Total

Vendor

If the price for this line of stock is obtained from a particular vendor for the quote, record that vendor in this field. It will also automatically populate if there is a Vendor in the Cost tab.

Only shown in expanded view.

Note: This field is manually populated, except when Promotional Pricing is used – in that case it will populate from the Promotion.

Markup %

(this may also be called GP%)

This is the difference between cost and sell prices as a percentage. Determine this percentage by entering the price and letting Jim2 calculate the margin, or enter the cost and a percentage (say, 10% margin) and let Jim2 calculate the price.

The field, and actual figures displayed, depend on the Show Profit Percent as .. choice, made in Tools > Options > Job.

Sell details are automatically added or updated when adding stock to a quote, or when recalculating the selling price. The sell details show the source of the selling price (price level, promotion, project, etc.) and the source reference. The selling price is colour coded to indicate the source, and hovering over a sell price cell will display the details.

Sell Source	Colour	Description
Price Level	White	Sell price is as per price level set on Quote header.
Different Price Level	Pink	Sell price is based on a price level different to the price level set on Quote header.
Customer Specific	Green	Sell price is as per the customer-specific price on the related stock.
Manually Entered	Yellow	Sell price has been manually entered.
Promotion	Orange	Sell price based on a promotion.
