<p class="Help-Note"><span class="hcp2">Note</span>: The ability to see cost fields, including margin and markup and other fields related to cost, can be controlled by <a href="../qbpos_secadmin/secadminoverview.htm">security rights</a>. If you do not have the right to view item costs, the fields will be masked like this "*****". This right affects cost fields in inventory and on all documents and reports.</p>

<p class="Help-Text">Margin (<font class="hcp3">Margin %</font> field) expresses the profit relationship between what you paid for an item (average unit cost) and its regular price. Markup (<font class="hcp3">Markup %</font> field) is an alternative way to express the difference between an items cost and its price. Markup is a simple percentage increase from the item cost.</p>
<p class="Help-Text">There is an inter-relationship between the margin/markup fields and the other price/cost fields as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li class="p-Help-Bulleted" style="margin-left: -20px;">
<p class="Help-Bulleted">Enter either a margin or a markup percentage, and Point of Sale will calculate and display the other value for you. The two fields have identical behavior.</p>
</li>
<li class="p-Help-Bulleted" style="margin-left: -20px;">
<p class="Help-Bulleted">Define a margin or markup in a department record, and Point of Sale will calculate your regular price and the prices at your optional price levels for you as <span class="hcp2">new</span> items are added to inventory in this department (if the regular price is not manually entered).</p>
</li>
<li class="p-Help-Bulleted" style="margin-left: -20px;">
<p class="Help-Bulleted">If you or a receiving voucher update the average unit cost, the margin and markup percentages are recalculated. Prices are recalculated only if previously $ 0 (zero), although you can edit the price yourself from the receiving voucher.</p>
</li>
<li class="p-Help-Bulleted" style="margin-left: -20px;">
<p class="Help-Bulleted">Edit the margin or markup manually for an existing item in inventory, and Point of Sale will recalculate your regular price and the prices at your optional price levels.</p>
</li>
<li class="p-Help-Bulleted" style="margin-left: -20px;">
<p class="Help-Bulleted">Edit your regular price; the prices at other price levels are recalculated to maintain your specified markdown percentages. The margin and markup are also recalculated.</p>
</li>
<li class="p-Help-Bulleted" style="margin-left: -20px;">
<p class="Help-Bulleted">Edit the price or markdown percentage of any optional price level; the change to one price level has no affect on other prices.</p>
