When an item is added from the items list, this price on the item is used:
Volume prices can also be used but are not covered in this article.
-List Price
The RRP/MRP/Retail price of an item. This is populated by the item's price when added.
-Agreed Price/Sales Price
The final price on the quote. When an item is added from the items list it is set to the item's price. In addition to being over-typed on the quotation, it can be changed by changes to the:

Margin
Discount
-Cost Prices
These are taken from the item's cost:
Volume cost can also be used but are not covered in this article.
-List Cost
The supplier's advertised price. When an item is added from the items list it uses the above cost field.
-Agreed Cost
When added from the the items list it will use the above cost field. However, if it has a main supplier set and they have a discount, this will be applied to the agreed cost. In addition to being over-typed on the quotation, it can be changed by changes to the:
Supplier Discount
Mark-up
This takes the cost and applies the entered percentage to give the Sales Price.
Sale/Agreed Price = Agreed Cost x (1+Mark-up)
For example, if the mark-up is set to 50% and the agreed cost is £100, the sales price is then set to £150.
£100= £100 x (1+0.5)
Mark-up requires the agreed cost to be more than zero.
Margin
This takes the cost and applies the entered percentage to give the Sales Price.
Sales Price = Agreed Cost / (1-Margin)
For example, if the Margin is 50% (0.5 in decimal) and the agreed cost is £100, the sales price is set to £200.
Margin requires the agreed cost to be more than zero.
Discount
This takes the List Price and applies a discount to give the Agreed/Sale Price.
Sales Price = List Price - Discount
For example, if the list price is £100 and the discount is 25%, the sale price is £75.
Discount requires the List Price to be more than zero. Costs have no bearing on this calculation.
Supplier Discount
This takes the list cost and applies a discount resulting in the agreed cost.
Agreed Cost = List Cost - Supplier Discount
For example, if the list cost is £100 and the discount is 25%, the agreed cost is £75.
Supplier Discount requires the List Cost to be more than zero.
