Products list

The product list of an offer can be edited after the general details of the offer have been submitted.

[Note] Access path

Clients -> Search clients -> Client details -> All offers -> Offer details -> Product list

In general, this path is used to edit the product list of an older offer. When adding a new offer, you reach the product list edit page after registering the offer's general details.

To add products in the product list of an offer, you have two options:

  • adding products from the catalogue - use the "Add products" button to open the product catalogue and select the products.

    To add a product, find the product, check the box on the last column and click the "Add" button.

  • adding products from a template - choose a template from the dropdown list in the "Use template" field and clieck the "Use" button. The list of products in the template will be imported in the new document.

At any time, you can remove or add products in the list, by any of the methods described above. To remove products from the list, mark them (the box on the last column) and click "Delete" button. If you mark the box corresponding to a category of products, all the products in the category will be selected. If you mark the first box ("All"), all the products in the list will be selected.

The products are grouped based on their producer and category. For each product in the list you can see:

  • the producer (supplier)

  • the category

  • the product code

  • the name - link to the editing page of the product's description.

  • the presentation

  • the unit of measurement

  • the price in your country's currency

  • the price in your supplier's currency

  • the commercial margin

The "Quantity" field is automatically filled with "1", for each product. The quantities can be managed manually.

The next three fields along with the "Margin" and "Recompute" under the product list allow the management of the prices in the offer. See the next section for details.

Prices

When editing an offer, there are several price management options.

When the products are loaded from the products catalogue or from a template offer, they are imported along with the default margin (either the general margin of the product, set in the administration section or a special margin, used and saved as model).

In the product list, there are two fields reserved for the commercial margin: the first one shows the current margin moment and the second one allows you to manually enter a value to recompute the product's price.

[Important] Important

The changes on the product's prices will be registered only if you use the "Recompute" button.

Prices options

  • to manually modify a product's price - for each products there is a "PRICE" open field. You can use it to specify a certain price you want to use in the offer. The prices will be updated automatically, as well as the commercial margin, according to the new price you set for this offer.

  • to modify the commercial margin for the entire list of products in the offer - use the options in the lower section of the page.

    You have two dropdown lists with preseted values for the commercial margin used in the offers. If you choose one of the values in these lists, the change will be applied to the entire list of products ad the prices will be recomputed according to the new commercial margin.

    The second list contains both positive and negative values, which can be used to adjust the current commercila margin

    There is also the prossibility to manually set a value for the commercial margin of the entire list of products, using the open field between the two dropdown lists.

  • to set a final sum for an offer - use the "Total" field (lower left) to manually set a price for the whole product list. When using the recompute button the system will modify the prices and commercial margins for all the products in the list, according to the sum you set.

Any list of products and prices can be saved as template and reused when necessary. To do so, set a name in the "Create template" field and save the new model.
