Pricing of design items requires access to the Library Catalog Manager which is only available with CabMasterPro or higher software licence.

This will be split up into 2 separate tutorials:-

• Tutorial 1 we will price an existing design item i.e. a Fridge appliance.

• Tutorial 2 we will create a new Fridge appliance/design item and then nominate a price for it.

 

Tutorial 1

Price Existing Design Item

CM- Design Library

Step 1 : Design or Personal Choice [PC] Items are located in a Library called CM-Design.

• Select using the Library drop list in the Cabinet Selection group on the Home tab

Step 2 : Pricing is managed with the Library Catalog Manager.

• Click on LCM command button on the View tab.

 

Fixed Cost Pricing

Step 3 : In the LCM you have the ability to price any number of design items.

• Ensure the item is enabled by ticking the Use checkbox.
  • If unticked, the item will not be available for selection/placement on the job/drawing.

Create and Price New Item

In this tutorial we will create a new Fridge appliance/design item and then enter a price for it.

Duplicate an Item in LCM

Step 2 : First we will create a duplicate item in the Library Catalog :-

• Right click on the item, in this example 'Fridge', and select the Duplicate option as shown below left.
  • This will create a 'Fridge (copy)' as shown below right.

 

Rename an Item

Step 3 : Now we can rename the new design item.

• Click on the 'Fridge (copy)' design item.
  • This will open an edit box into which we type the new name of the design item, in this example 'Fridge New'.

 

Format Item in LCM

Step 4 : To format the new design item either:-

• double click on the item name field or
• from the right click menu, select Format Catalog Item....

This will open up the Catalog item dialog (pink background) and allows you to make any changes to suit the desired PC Item, in this case the new fridge.

Once you have completed your changes, simply close the dialog to save all changes.

Step 5 : Price and Save Changes in the same manner as Steps 3 and 4 in previous tutorial.
