How can I automatically add a 10% profit margin to my product cost when creating an invoice in QuickBooks Online?

I bought a product from a supplier for $1, and I want to sell that product to my customer with a 10% profit. That’s why I want the invoice to be automatically created with the 10% included, without having to calculate it manually. How can I do this in QuickBooks Online?

How can I automatically add a 10% profit margin to my product cost when creating an invoice in QuickBooks Online?

Glad you're here, Procurement1. We can set up price rules to automatically add a 10% markup on your customer invoices. Let me guide you through these processes.

 

In QuickBooks Online, let's first enable the Price Rules feature to allow you to add different rates or profit margins when creating sales transactions. Here's how:

 

  1. Navigate to Settings and select Account and Settings.
  2. From the Sales tab, click on Edit in the Product and Services section.
  3. Put a checkmark on the Turn on Price Rules option and hit Save, then Done.

Once done, create a price rule and set them to different markups. To do these:

 

  1. In your QBO account, go to Settings and select All Lists.
  2. Choose Price Rules and click New Price Rule.
  3. Add a name for the rule, and select which customers you'd like the rule to apply.
  4. In the Product and Services field, click the dropdown arrow and choose Select Individually or All Customers.
  5. From the Price adjustment method, choose Percentage, Fixed amount, or Custom price per item.
  6. Input the necessary details in each remaining field.
  7. Then, add the items below from the Product or Services tab and enter different rates in each of their Adjusted Price.
  8. Once done, hit Save and Close.

Additionally, the price rule will automatically be applied as you add items to customer invoices. You can also override the amounts by selecting the rate.

 

Once everything looks good, you can then create invoices. You'll also want to seek additional guidance from our QuickBooks Lve Expert Assisted team to help you manage sales forms and provide assistance in keeping track of your overall transactions.

 

Moreover, here's a guide to help you receive and track customer-paid invoices to ensure accurate recording of your sales entries.
