Reviewed on 2026-10-07

Set the product up first#

Create the product and its attributes first. Each variant needs a SKU unique to your company and no longer than 64 characters.

Add a priced variant#

  1. 1
    Open the product and add a variant.
  2. 2
    Enter its unique SKU, name, selling price, and unit cost; select tax treatment if offered.
  3. 3
    Save and review the variant list before using it on a document.
  4. 4
    Open each saved variant and compare its price and cost with the approved price list.
  5. 5
    Try searching by its stock keeping code or barcode to confirm the right version appears.

A price change affects future documents; review existing drafts separately.

Check the saved selling details#

Sales and purchase documents capture their own prices/currency at the time of use. Changing catalog prices does not rewrite posted documents.

WARNING: Do not use a projected margin as posted profit; fulfillment cost and invoice revenue are separate records.

If the variant cannot be saved#

Check the SKU, price, cost, and active status. A duplicate SKU must be corrected rather than reused.
