Cascade pricing across business units and channels
Branch separate business units or channels from the master catalogue so each level applies and hides its own margin.
Pricing can be cascaded across levels: a factory's cost price plus its margin becomes the selling price, which then becomes the dealer's cost price, and the dealer adds their own margin. Each level's margin can be hidden from the other levels, and this is set up by creating separate business units/channels that branch from the master catalogue and apply their own margin.
Assigning a sales channel at the category level does not by itself give every SKU in that category channel pricing; after a bulk category assignment, open the individual SKUs (or use the bulk SKU edit) and set the sales channel there too, since the channel + price-type pair is what actually holds per-SKU prices. The same applies to hardware, finishes, finished materials and edge bands.
Sales channels and price types can be named to reflect the quality or price level they represent (for example a standard-quality list and a premium-quality list).
Quotations are generated against the channel and price level appropriate to the customer or project.
