Group finishes into rate bands and price glass

Group finishes into rate bands with one all-inclusive rate and price glass with its own pricing template.

1. Finishes can be grouped into rate bands by finish type (for example all high-gloss acrylic used with BWR at one rate, all matte acrylic at another), so every colour within a band quotes at the same per-square-foot rate.

2. The band rate is all-inclusive of the core, both-side finishes and edge band.

3. To check whether a material already has a panel pricing template, open the panel pricing template list and filter by core material.

4. If the template for that core/finish combination already exists, add the material to it rather than creating a new template.

5. Glass is priced the same way: create a pricing template for the glass (with its type and thickness tags) in the admin portal rather than entering a price under the material's properties.

6. Templates are commonly organised as numbered series (for example series 1, 2, 3, 4) covering laminates and other materials.
