Margin cockpit
While negotiating, the detail page shows a margin per position — so the merchant sees at a glance whether a quoted price is still economical.
How the margin is calculated
The displayed margin is the net margin of the position against the product's purchase price:
- The purchase price comes from the product (net purchase price).
- The quoted price is converted to net via the quote's tax factor (gross/net).
- Margin % =
(1 − purchase price / net selling price) × 100.
No purchase price, no margin
If no purchase price is maintained on the product, the margin stays empty — nothing is shown. Maintain purchase prices on the product so the evaluation works.
Colour-coded evaluation
The margin is colour-coded so critical prices stand out immediately:
| Range | Evaluation |
|---|---|
| < 0 % | critical (loss) |
| 0 % to < 15 % | warning (thin margin) |
| ≥ 15 % | positive |
For orientation only
The margin is a negotiation aid for the merchant and is nowhere visible to the customer. It appears neither in the storefront nor in the quote PDF.
