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#
- 1Open the product and add a variant.
- 2Enter its unique SKU, name, selling price, and unit cost; select tax treatment if offered.
- 3Save and review the variant list before using it on a document.
- 4Open each saved variant and compare its price and cost with the approved price list.
- 5Try 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.
