Storing Product Purchase Price to calculate profit

Hi all,

 

We have the following requirement we are trying to fulfill:

 

Our customer is a reseller that has 2 product lists, one with all products without Transport Costs and the same with the Transport Costs.

 

For opportunity gross margin analysis what we would need ideally is the ability to add the cost of the product as a new field in the PriceBookEntry object. Is this possible? We can´t see the option through the admin screens!

 

Thanks,

 

J

Thanks for the offer but in the end we got a way around it which is to have 1 Pricebook and the Cost and Cost of Transport at the Product Level. This way it works a treat. Case closed. Thanks,

Hi, we've developed a native quoting solution to address this.  You can't store the cost at the PricebookEntry, it definitely takes some custom development to accomplish this.  Let me know if you are interested in learning more.
