In certain instances you may want to quote based on the buy and sell prices in your availability chart and then calculate the profit margin for each item. Navigate to Admin>Extra>Config and search for the config value:

CALCULATE_PROFIT_MARGIN_FROM_BUY_AND_SELL_PRICE and set this to “Y”. You may also want to set the config variable UPDATE_AVAILABILITY_CHART_FROM_QUOTE_ITEM to “N”, which will prevent the sell price from being automatically updated whenever you adjust this within a quote.

Now whenever you add an availability chart item to a quote, the buy and sell prices will be set from the availability chart and the profit margin will be calculated backwards from these numbers.

You can also adjust the profit margin to recalculate the sell price.
