Use Markup (Profit) Adjustments when you want an assembly to sell for a specific target price (e.g., a round number like $80,000) without changing any costs.
The system calculates a single profit adjustment % and applies it across all cost items inside the assembly so the assembly’s total price "bubbles up" to your target.
Applies to: Assemblies (example shown: Garage Assembly)
Key Behaviors
-
Costs are not changed. Only the markup (profit) is adjusted to reach your target assembly price.
-
Adjustment cascades to all nested items. Every cost item inside the assembly receives the same profit adjustment %, so the roll‑up matches your target.
-
Visual indicator on affected items. A red icon appears on the assembly and on its included items to show that a profit adjustment is in effect.
-
Clear, item‑level notice. Opening an item’s Unit Pricing shows a message like: “This item includes profit adjustment of 18%.” (The exact % will vary based on your target and the assembly’s costs/markup.)
-
Easy to revert. You can clear the adjustment at the top‑level assembly to remove the applied profit adjustment and return everything to the prior state.
When to Use
-
You want to quote a clean, round number for an assembly (e.g., $80,000) while preserving your underlying costs.
-
You need the system to distribute margin proportionally across all cost items inside an assembly.
How It Works
-
You choose a target price for the assembly.
-
The system computes a single profit adjustment % that when added uniformly to all cost items, makes the assembly total equal your target price.
-
That same % is applied to each cost item inside the assembly. The assembly and its items display a red adjustment icon, and each item’s Unit Pricing shows the applied percentage.
Example from the video: Setting the Garage Assembly to $80,000 resulted in a displayed profit adjustment of 18% on items within the assembly
Step‑by‑Step: Set a Target Price on an Assembly
-
Open the assembly (e.g., Garage Assembly).
-
In the price field, enter the target price (e.g., 80,000).
-
Confirm the change. The system applies a profit adjustment % across all items so the assembly total matches the target.
-
Look for the red icon on the assembly and its items indicating the active adjustment.
-
(Optional) Open any item → Unit Pricing to see the “includes profit adjustment of X%” notice.
Step‑by‑Step: Inspect the Adjustment on an Item
-
From the adjusted assembly, open a child item.
-
Go to Unit Pricing.
-
Review the banner/note indicating “includes profit adjustment of X%”.
Step‑by‑Step: Clear a Profit Adjustment
-
Navigate to the top‑level assembly where the adjustment was applied.
-
Use Clear Adjustment
-
The red icons disappear, and pricing returns to its prior state (pre‑adjustment values/behavior).
