Yes. Users who have been assigned the rights can create, edit and assign price profiles to their customers. Rules are added by selecting a manufacturer, a category-subcategory, a manufacturer category combination, or a specific manufacturer part number. For all rule types, there are the following methods of calculating price: markup, margin, plus or minus a specific dollar amount, or discount off list. For rules involving a specific manufacturer part number, you can also specify a Sell At rate, which is a hardcoded price that doesn't take into account the cost from the supplier. Pricing can also be edited at the line level when placing a quote or an order. ChannelOnline displays the cost, margin, profit, taxable/non-taxable items and shipping charges as a quote is generated.

There are two major reasons why an end customer’s price may not be what you expect based on the rule(s) you created. The Default Settings section of a Price Profile will have settings related to safeguards regarding the final customer price (i.e. Never allow customer price to exceed list price and Never allow customer price to go below cost). You can enable one, both, or neither of these rules. If the markup/margin rule would put the price above the list price, price will top out at the list price. If you have a discount rule that would put the price below the selected supplier’s cost, the price will bottom out at the cost so you do not potentially sell the item at a loss.

Estimated shipping is based on the weight of a product as it is provided in the feeds from the suppliers. Sometimes the suppliers will not provide a weight for a part. As a result, the weight is calculated as 0.00 lbs. You can work around this by manually entering your own shipping estimate or adding a manual supplier to the product which has the correct weight.
Tax calculations for customers using Default Tax Rate are determined by the Shipping Address. Please confirm tax is being collected for that state in the Tax Profile and then make sure that the City, State, and ZIP code combination is correct. In addition, please ensure that the City and ZIP code values do not have unnecessary white space at the end or beginning of the value.
