The following examples use price simulation for quotation headers and single line items.

Quotation header price simulation

If you create a quotation with the following lines:

10 units of item BR-12 (cost price per unit USD 9.52 and sales price per unit USD 15.32).

12 units of item BR-14 (cost price per unit USD 7.48 and sales price per unit USD 13.75).

The quotation lines are as follows:

Calculation

Result

Sales quantity

10 units + 12 units

22 units

Sales value in USD

((10*15.32) + (12*13.75))

318.20

Cost value in USD

((10*9.52) + (12*7.48))

184.96

Contribution margin in USD

(318.20 – 184.96)

133.24

Contribution ratio

((318.20 – (10*9.52)/318.20) * 100)

41.87 %

If you run a price simulation and apply a 15% total discount for the entire quotation, or quotation header, the new totals of the quotation with the price simulation are as follows:

Calculation

Sales quantity

10 units + 12 units

22 units

Single line item price simulation

If you create a quotation with the following lines:

10 units of item BR-12 (cost price per unit USD 9.52 and sales price per unit USD 15.32).

12 units of item BR-14 (cost price per unit USD 7.48 and sales price per unit USD 13.75).

The quotation lines are as follows:

If you run a price simulation and apply a 10% total discount to the BR-12 units, the new totals of the quotation with the single line item price simulation are as follows:
