For small business this is critical to keep operations running smoothly for a successful business, also great to check if your products sale prices are profitable.

Please hurry up and make this change.

When we are raising quotes and invoices for products, it would be good to see a breakdown of the cost and sales price so that we can see the margin we are making on the product within the quote or invoice screen. Also, if we change the price on the quote, the margin should update in real time to show the updated margin.

Most software has this option so you can see what margin you are making! Assuming the correct cost and sell price are in!

Truly , it is a joke that you cant add a custom margin. FYI , a mark up is NOT the same calculation as a margin. For the last 2 years, we have had to run a different invoicing system cause all the so called brains at Xero dont know or cant figure out how to add it. We are now investigating other accounting systems that can.

2 years later and it seems it's still not available

Just switched to Xero from QB Desktop... I didn't even think to check for this, how is this not a standard view? I really don't want to go back to QB... or throw away the money spent on the conversion, but this is pretty big...

As pricing are changing quite frequently at present to save so much time for us it would be great for pricing changes in xero billing to be automatically reflected in xero inventory for purchases

Please I would think this would-be standard.

this would make life a lot easier

Would save an enormous amount to time if this can be implemented

Need the ability to set a standard markup or margin for a product. It would be really helpful to be able to set a margin between the cost price and the sales price of a product. When I add in supplier bills, I often discover that some inventory items have increased in cost. It would be ideal if I could update the price of the inventory item from within the New Bill process. So far I have to note down the changes then edit each inventory item separately from inside the Business menu. When New Bills feature an item that has a cost change. It would be incredibly helpful if any manipulation to the set cost price on an item at the New Bill stage would prompt a pop up that says, "Set this as the new default cost for SKU "X" and update the sales price using the standard markup.

I also feel this is absolutely essential, does nobody else make a profit on parts?
I am given the option to allow a discount on the part when the invoice is charged out but I can't make a profit???
We have been working around this by typing in *1.250 (or whatever the markup) after the amount.
But this has to be done on every invoice line.....
This was one of the biggest shocks when changing from MYOB, I nearly changed back as it is so time consuming. ( 50 or more Sales lines per invoice )

It is a absolute necessity as far as I am concerned.

Any updates on this? This is a necessity for businesses.

I first requested this about five or six years ago I think. The discussion thread is still going. We add wholesale purchase costs in Product and Services so the background info is already loaded within XERO.

If we're selling multiple items and services we don't necessarily want to add a blanket discount. We need to see profit dollars on each item. We need to be able to see that each item is profitable, but also need to see if there's room to move on price without having to use a quoting app or open an excel file to calculate it separately.
