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.

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.
