Apply Calculations in Your System

In your system, you can define pricing parameters that specifically meet your needs.

In this FAQ, we present a pricing calculation option that can be configured and integrated into your parts orders placed in the Internet Catalog.

There are two other ways to set the profit margin for Internet Catalog purchases:

1. Change the Profit Margin of the Category Before Purchasing a Part Using GEM-LINK

2. Change the Profit Margin of the Supplier Before Purchasing a Part Using GEM-LINK

3. Create a Price List to Purchase Parts Using GEM-LINK

1. Modify Category Profit Margin

You can select a specific category profit margin that you wish to be incorporated every time you order a part.

To do this, click on Inventory > Categories in the left menu and select the desired category.

In our example, we have selected category 200 - Parts with matrix.

In the next window, under the Info tab, enter the desired value in the Profit margin % field at the top right of the screen. To save your changes, click on the green Save button.

With this configuration, after selecting the products on the supplier's site in the Internet Catalogue and inserting them in the shopping basket, press the Send to GEM-CAR button.

Products will be sent in the Point of Sale with the profit margin value configured in the category. To see the details of the sum and check that it is correct, click in the bottom right corner of your Point of Sale on the % symbol next to the product quantity and value. The value will be the product's cost price + the profit margin defined in the category.

Note: Choose one of the three profit margin parameters (category change, supplier change or price list creation) to determine the profit margin, and leave the others at zero. Otherwise, one of the parameters will take precedence over the other and the product value will be incorrect.

2. Modify Supplier Profit Margin

You can select a specific supplier margin that will be incorporated every time you order a part. To modify the supplier's profit margin, simply go to the left-hand menu, click on Suppliers > Internet Catalog and select the desired supplier.

In the Supplier Info tab, enter the desired value in the Margin field. Then click on the green Save button.

With this configuration, after selecting the products on the supplier's site in the Internet Catalogue and inserting them in the shopping basket, press the Send to GEM-CAR button.

The products will be sent to your Point of Sale with the profit margin value configured in the supplier. To see the details of the sum and check that it is correct, click in the bottom right-hand corner of your Point of Sale on the % symbol next to the product quantity and value. The value will be the product's cost price + the profit margin defined in the supplier.

3. Price List-Based Pricing

You can create a default Price List that will be applied to all parts purchased via the Internet Catalogue.

To create a price list, in the left-hand menu, click on Inventory > Price list > +Add.

Enter the Name and check the “Use by default if no group assigned to client” box. Save by clicking on the green Save button.

Then click on the red +New button. In the Info tab, enter the following data:

Type
Category
Price type
Price/Percent
Valid from
Valid until
Minimum price
Maximum price

Save by clicking on the green Save and Close button.

With this configuration, after selecting the products on the supplier's site in the Internet Catalogue and inserting them in the shopping basket, press the Send to GEM-CAR button.

Products will be sent in the Point of Sale with the profit margin value configured in the Price List. To see the details of the sum and verify that it is correct, click in the bottom right corner of your Point of Sale on the % symbol next to the product quantity and value. The value will be the product's cost price + the profit margin defined in the Price List.
