    Markup & Sell Pricing

    Each cost can have a sell price calculated by:

    • Fixed sell โ€” set an explicit sell price per unit
    • Markup percentage โ€” automatically calculate sell from cost + markup %
    • At cost โ€” pass through with no markup
    โš ๏ธ Warning: Costs marked as "Exclude from Bill" won't appear on supplier bills even if they have a supplier assigned.

    Linking to Suppliers

    Assign a supplier to any cost for purchase order generation and supplier bill tracking. This connects your cost management to your procurement workflow.
