Purchase price: the internal cost basis
The purchase price is an internal costing value. It may vary by item, supplier and date, so it should be maintained centrally when reused regularly.
Selling price: the offered price
The selling price is the price offered to the customer. Avoid simply copying it from an old quote if costs or pricing strategy have changed.
Margin: the commercial view
Margins help assess whether a quote is commercially viable. They do not automatically belong in the customer document.
Use a catalogue for consistent costing
A company catalogue lets you maintain purchase prices, selling prices, units and item data centrally and reuse them in quotes. CELVENO shows internal costs and margins in the workspace, not in customer PDFs.
Put it into practice
A quick check before sending.
- Correct customer, project and current revision?
- Services, quantities and units complete?
- Selling prices, options and total reviewed?
- Validity, dates and terms clear?
- PDF checked from the customer’s perspective?
