Procedure
- Click on the Part Based tab from the Sales Price List
window or the Sales Price List Lines
window.
- Alternatively, open the Part Based Price List Lines
window. Note that it is not possible to edit the line in this window.
- Search for lines to analyze. One way is to
search for lines with a contribution margin less than a required value.
- Analyze the contribution margins of the lines by
looking at the values in the Contribution Margin (%) field.
- If needed, simulate the contribution margin for another
cost source than the default value by changing the Use Inventory Value check box
or the cost set.
- Take action accordingly if you are not satisfied by
changing the sales price, discount, offset, base price etc.
