How to Manually Add Materials to Your Catalogue
There are multiple ways to add materials to your Catalogue. You can import materials from a spreadsheet, or sync materials from your purchase order history (selected suppliers only), or you can add materials manually, following the steps below:
From the User Menu Panel, navigate to Catalogue > Materials.
- Click Create.
- Enter the material name and choose a supplier from the drop-down.
- Enter the SKU and barcode, if applicable.
- Select a category.
- Add notes, if applicable.
Enter the brand, range, finish, and colour.
(Note: You may want to set the brand as Quote Pricing.)
- Enter the material measurements.
- Set your pricing (examples below) and pricing strategy, overhead, wastage and profit margin.
What is Profit Margin?
Profit Margin is not the same as Profit Mark-up.
The difference is that a mark up percentage is proportionate to the cost, whereas the margin percentage is proportionate to your revenue.
For example, if you buy a product for $10 and sell it for $12, that $2 difference gives you a 20% mark-up (2 out of 10), but only a 16.66% profit margin (2 out of 12).
Jobman is set up to use margin percentage, not mark up percentage. You can use an online margin calculator to help you work out your margin percentage based on cost and revenue amounts.
- Select the optimisation if required.
- Set the status for the material (available or not available to order).
- Click Create.
