Category Margins
The default margin of the price list is the starting point — differentiation happens through the category margins. Each line overrides margin, minimum margins, rounding, and list price cap for a slice of the assortment. Open the list by searching for Category Margins or from the Price Calculation Setup.
The hierarchy: the most specific line wins
| Level | Key | Example |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (highest) | Item | item 1000 always at 15 % |
| 2 | Vendor + category | accessories from vendor 70000 at 35 % |
| 3 | Vendor | everything from vendor 70000 at 22 % |
| 4 | Category | item category ACCESSORY at 40 % |
| — | (no line) | default margin of the price list |
Three lines, done
You run a 30 % default margin, but printers (category) at only 12 % — and the consumables of your main vendor (vendor + category) at 45 %. Three lines model that; everything else follows the default margin.
Fields per line
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Price List Code | The list the override applies to |
| Item Category / Vendor / Item | The key — filled depending on the level |
| Margin % | Overrides the default margin (0 = default stays) |
| Min. Margin % / Min. Margin Amount | Override the floors (0 = default stays) |
| Rounding Method | Overrides the rounding (empty = default stays) |
| Use List Price as Max | Switch the list price cap on or off per slice |
Empty or zero fields of a line fall back to the price list values — you only ever override what you enter. Which margin was actually applied is shown by the price explanation.
