variable markups based on quantity

[Paulatadams]

The current process for material markups in our ServiceTitan Price Book is based off cost thresholds.

This has caused some items to be significantly marked up vs prior pricing.

Example:

12/2 Romex is in the system by the foot at a cost of $0.49, which has a low price at the per foot amount.

That is in the 250% markup range giving a sell price of 1.72 per foot ((2.5*.49)+.49), home depot charges 2.30 per foot so this seems appropriate.

However,  with 100 feet billing out at 1.72 is $172 and the home depot price for 100 feet is 80.00.

I am good with a 1.72 per foot up top a certain quantity of feet. But 172.00 for 100 feet seems excessive.

I did a chat and they said the system does not do that, but that it is a good idea.

Thoughts?

This might not be the most graceful solution, but you could have two separate material items in your pricebook, just using different lengths (ie: 1 foot and 10 feet). Depending on the breakdown of your mark-ups and how granular you go, the cost for the 10 foot portion would stay the same while proportionally decreasing the sell-price to not appear overly-inflated. This can be reflected in the inventory module by doing a simple adjustment (subtract 10x 1 foot 12/2 and add 1x 10 feet 12/2).
