Can I add a mark up percentage to items

Yes, you can mark up the items by 30%, @nwlacontractors-.

By utilizing the Price Rules feature, you can add a new mark-up amount for that specific material. Just make sure to activate this feature from your Account and Settings. This is the hottest feature we offer in QuickBooks Online.

Let me show you how:

1. Go to Settings ⚙ and select Account and Settings or Company Settings.
2. Select the Sales tab.
3. In the Products and services section, select Edit ✏️.
4. Select the Turn on price rules Beta.
5. Select Save and then Done.
   
   
   

Once done, we can create a rule and pick the materials individually. You can follow these steps below:

1. Go to Settings ⚙️ and then select All Lists.
2. Choose Price Rules.
3. Click Create a rule or New price rule.
4. Enter a name like 30%. Then follow this set up:
   *Customer: All customers
   *Products and services: Select individually
   *Price adjustment method: Percentage
   *Percentage: Increased, 30%
   *Rounding: No rounding
5. Hit Apply rule.
6. Select +Add product or service and then choose a specific material.
7. (Optional) Click +Add product or service to add another products.
8. Hit Save and close. I added a screenshot for visual reference:
   
   

Well done! Feel free to read this article for more details and frequently asked questions about using price rules: Set price rules in QuickBooks Online.

Furthermore, you can group your materials into different categories or services. In this instance, you won't have to select them individually in the future when setting up a new price rule. This will help you apply the rules quickly. Simply create a category from your lists and then edit your materials or services to add a category.

In addition, once you've created a lot of price rule for that specific item, you can choose what amount you can apply. I'm adding another screenshot so you can check this detail:

This doesn't apply because I would want to mark up different items and of course, different mark ups. 

Thanks for joining the thread, @kndzpntnr. I'm here now, and I'll ensure you can set different mark ups for different items in your QuickBooks Online (QBO) company.

Know that for this to work and for you to have the ability to set different markups for different items when you create invoices. You'll have to set different price rules. That said, you'll also have to set the price rules to be added individually to your product and service items. I'll gladly input the steps below so you can proceed.

If you've already enabled the Price rule feature in your company's Account and settings, you'll want to create new price rules and set them to different markups. Here's how:

1. Access your QuickBooks Online company.
2. On the upper-right corner, click the Gear icon and select All lists.
3. Choose Price Rules, and then click New Price rule.
4. Add a name for the rule, and select which customers you'd like the rule to apply.
5. In the Product and services field, click the dropdown arrow and then choose Select individually.
6. In the Price adjustment method, select Custom price per item.
7. input the necessary details in each remaining field.
8. Click Apply rule.

After this, proceed to add the product or services below. Here's how:

1. Click the Add product or service button.
2. Add all your products and services manually, and then add different amount in each of their ADJUSTED PRICE column.
3. Once done, click Save or Save and close.

Once everything is set, you can create an invoice and choose the mark up in the Rate column on each line item.

Please know that if you want to add different markups to different items, you'll need to create new price rules and add the product or service in which you want the price rule to affect. See this article for more information: Set price rules in QuickBooks Online.

Like I said, the mark up percentages depend on who is the supplier providing the items and not just on the items. How can we do this then?

Providing the best experience with the product is what we aim for, kndzpntnr.

I know how beneficial it is to your business to add pricing to the packing slip template. However, this option is unavailable in QuickBooks Online (QBO). We can only add a new markup amount for that specific material or set different markups for different items when creating invoices by setting different price rules. With this said, I'd recommend sending this request straight to our product engineers through feedback. Sharing features and options that you would like implemented is how our engineers look for new product updates. Here's how: 

1. Go to the Gear icon at the top.
2. Select Feedback.

4. Then select Next to submit feedback.

We can follow the steps provided by my colleagues Jovychris_A and KurtKyle_M to add a markup percentage to items.

How do we adjust for sales tax not including the 30% markup?

There are two scenarios you can consider doing to disable the 30% markup. Let me provide them to you and help you from there.

You can disable the price rules feature on the Settings. This can affect the conditions you’ve set based on customer, item, sales rep, and class. To do so, follow the steps below:

1. Go to the Gear icon, then select Account and settings.
2. Navigate to Sales tab, then click Products and services.
3. On the Turn on price rules, switch it off.
4. Tap Save, then Done.

Additionally, you have the option to edit items manually. QuickBooks Online makes changing this easy, and I can walk you through the process.

Here’s how:

1. Go the Sales tab, then select Products and services.
2. Locate the item you’ll want to adjust the markup and click Edit.
3. Scroll down to the Price rules section, then click the rule name. 
4. Make necessary changes, then hit Update rule.
5. Tap Save.

Once done, check the item again if the rule you’ve edited reflected correctly. This way, we can ensure you'll have the correct sales tax adjustment and markup per item.

I don't have the option to "Turn on Price Rules Beta". Any idea why or how to fix this so I can have the price rule option? I used that all the time on my desktop version

Hi there, Princess.

I'll share info about the reasons why you're unable to see the option to turn on Price Rules Beta.

Since the Price Rules is still on Beta pace, only selected customers can turn it on. On the other hand, this option isn't available in QuickBooks Online (QBO) Simple Start and Essentials.

If you're in those subscriptions, I recommend upgrading your subscription. Here's how:

1. Sign in to QuickBooks Online as a primary or company admin.
2. Go to Settings ⚙ and select Subscriptions and billing.
3. Make sure your payment info is up to date.
4. In the QuickBooks Online section, select Upgrade your plan.
5. Review the available plans and then select Choose plan.
6. Follow the on-screen steps to upgrade your plan.

Hello,

I am starting to use the price rules for a client. It only seems I can set the price rules based on an existing sales price. For this client I want to be able to set the markup price rules based on the cost price. For instance mark up the cost 30% on a specific product category. How can this be done?

Hello, @bythebooks3.

I can help you with setting markup price rules based on the cost price for your client. 

At this time, the Adjusted Price will be based on your Sales Price. The option to set it based on the Cost is currently unavailable. You may consider choosing Custom Price per item for the Price adjustment method so you'll manually calculate the adjusted price based on the Cost for the specific Products and services. 

Here's how:

1. Go to the Gear icon and select All Lists.
2. Click on New price rules.
3. Select Custom price per item from the Price adjustment method.
4. Provide all the necessary information. 
5. Click on Save and close or Save once you're done.
