I am trying to understand how to do this:
We have generic products in our system for things like "Server", "Desktop", "Printer" etc. We have this because the pricing changes to frequently to maintain accurate cost and pricing. Therefore, the products are in the system with a $0.00 price and no cost.
So, when we do a quote we can insert the current price for that configuration and send it out.
In using the quote module with products of this general nature, we can add the correct current price, but find no way to insert the cost of the item at the time of the quote. This allows the "margin" to be invalid because no cost is associated with the item. When commissions are calculated, they are incorrect, because no cost is taken into account.
How can we set RHS up so that cost can be added on the fly, just like price is, and provide accurate margins and commissions?
