Hello,
Are you asking about the PC/desktop version, or the newer cloud/web based/portable version?
I can try to give a general answer regardless.
I'll assume that you mean within the moulding vendor database, and are asking about the CLOUD version.
Within each vendor, you can set a series of RANGES for your markup rules.
For example:
You may want to set from cost of (MIN) 0.01 to (MAX) 2.99 you want to set a markup of (MARKUP) 5.
(Ex: A $2/ft moulding in that range would retail for $10/ft, plus the fitting, labor, glazing, etc)
You may want to set from cost of (MIN) 3.00 to (MAX) 3.99 you want to set a markup of (MARKUP) 4.75
(Ex: A $3.50/ft moulding in that range would retail for $16.63/ft, plus the fitting, labor, glazing, etc)
...and so on...
So you could have a higher markup for the very inexpensive frames, if you desired. Of course you don't HAVE to do that, you could just put one line on that screen to mark them all up with the same value too. (example: MIN $0.01 - MAX $9999999.99 MARKUP 3)
MIN FOOT refers to the minimum footage to charge for, even if the actual footage used goes below that amount. Some folks want to charge for 6 feet of moulding, even for small jobs, for example. You may or may not use that field, but it is there for those who asked for the ability to charge at least a certain amount.
In addition to all of the above, you can also set up the same things for EACH TYPE that you buy. (CHOP, LENGTH, JOIN, WEDGE, etc) There are tabs for each. Again, you may or not make use of all of these features, but they are there for those who want them. From my experience talking with a lot of shops, many price based on CHOP "costs", regardless how they buy. If they buy length, bundle, box, etc that means additional savings in their pockets. But this is something you'd want to look at and decide yourself.
I hope this info is helpful.
Best regards,
