Drawer Runners can be costed by updating the Runner Tables accessed on the Pricing > Materials/Hardware page of the / Properties or the Pricing > Settings page.
In this topic we will cover:-
Tutorial 1 - How to apply a cost price to runners dependant on depth using the runner tables.
Tutorial 2 - How to apply a markup to the cost price using the runner tables.
Tutorial 3 - How to apply a cost price to each runner group without the use of tables i.e. table cost price is zero.
Normally updating a table directly is not encouraged but this is an exception.
Runner Tables
Runners are grouped into one of three Runner Groups ...
- Standard
- Standard Metal (includes Metabox) and
- Premium Metal (inc. )
Runners are priced on the Pricing > Materials/Hardware page by:-
- selecting the applicable runner from the drop list;
- clicking on the Edit Table button to open the applicable table.
Runners can be costed by selecting required runner and clicking corresponding Edit Table button

Tutorial 1 Cost using Tables
In this example we will cost the runners on a Floor 1 Drawer, which uses a 'Blum Antaro D No Element 30kg Inserta' in the Premium Runners group with a depth of 500mm.
Floor 1 Drawer showing Runner used for this tutorial
The Cabinet Details > Drawers page provides the relevant information concerning the drawer runner Group/Type and the Depth.
- In step 2 you will notice that the depth's in the drop list relate to the rows in the table.
Step 1 Locate and Open Table
On the Pricing > Materials/Hardware page:-
- select the applicable runner from the drop list
- in this example, Blum Antaro D No Element 30kg Inserta in the Premium Runners group
- clicking on the Edit Table button to open the applicable table.
Step 2 Update Table
Note that there is a Cost column, where you can enter the desired values.
- Enter the Cost manually into each edit field of the column
- In this example, enter a different Cost as per the image below i.e:-
- row -550mm is $9
- row -500mm is $8 etc
Note row Length corresponds to drop list on Cabinet Details > Drawers page
- Close table and you may get the following message. Click Yes to Save changes.
Step 3 Test
To test the effect of this process, run a Quantities report.
The following report shows that the Cost from the runner table corresponds to the row 500mm i.e. $8. (Remember this is the depth of the runner).
The above report shows only pricing details pertaining to this tutorial.
Rounding during the calculation process can cause amounts to increase by a few cents.
To calculate Sell price set Markup Percentages per category on the Pricing > Pricing/Markups page.
Tutorial 2 Add Markup to Cost
In this example we will use the same Floor 1 Drawer that we applied a cost to in Tutorial 1 and apply a markup.
Step 1 Locate and Open Table
On the Pricing > Materials/Hardware page:-
- select the applicable runner from the drop list
- in this example, Blum Antaro D No Element 30kg Inserta in the Premium Runners group
- clicking on the Edit Table button to open the applicable table.
Step 2 Update Table
Note that there is a Markup column and this markup value is stored as a fraction i.e. 0.5 = 50% and 1.0 = 100%
- Enter the Markup manually into each edit field of the column
- In this example, 0.1 which is equivalent to 10%
- Close table and click Yes to Save changes, if required.
Step 3 Test
To test the effect of this process, run a Quantities report.
The following report shows that the Cost from the runner table corresponds to the row 500mm i.e. $8. (Remember this is the depth of the runner)
The Markup added to the above Cost is 10% (i.e. table value 0.1) i.e. $8 + $0.80 = $8.80
The above report shows only pricing details pertaining to this tutorial.
Rounding during the calculation process can cause amounts to increase by a few cents.
To calculate Sell price set Markup Percentages per category on the Pricing > Pricing/Markups page.
Tutorial 3 Zero Pricing
If no cost pricing has been set for drawer runners, i.e. table price is $0, then you can enable and set a cost price for each Runner Group on the Pricing > Settings page of the / Properties.
In this example we are pricing a Blum Antaro D No Element 30kg Screw in the Premium Runner group
- The table for this drawer runner has a cost value of $0 i.e. has not been updated.
- If you want to test this for yourself then change the drawer runner on the Cabinet Details > Drawers page used in Tutorial 1.
See tutorial Pricing Zero for more details.
Step 1 Enable Zero Pricing
On the Pricing > Settings page for each Runner Group, as shown below:-
- tick each of the checkboxes shown below to enable pricing
- and enter a cost price for each i.e.
- Standard is $10.00
- Metal is $20.00
- Premium is $80.00
Pricing > Settings page - Click to Expand
Step 2 Test
To test the effect of this process, run a Quantities report.
The following report shows that the Cost of the Premium runner used is $80.
The above report shows only pricing details pertaining to this tutorial.
