Pricing with a matrix
If you’ve built a price matrix, you can let a quote price itself instead of typing a unit price on every line. You pick the matrix once for the whole quote, then tell each print location how many colors it is — the unit price falls out of the grid.
Matrix pricing is admin-only. Managers building a quote price lines manually; your matrix and costs stay hidden.
Choose a matrix for the quote
At the bottom of the line items, next to Add line item, open Use matrix and pick the one you want. It applies to every line item on the quote. Leave it on Manual pricing to type prices yourself, exactly like before.
Enter the blank cost
With a matrix active, the Unit price field becomes a Blank $ field — the
raw cost of the garment. Pull it from the S&S Activewear
catalog or type it. The computed per-piece price
shows right below it (= $X.XX/ea).
Set colors on each print location
Add your print locations as usual. With a matrix active, each location gets a colors selector (or stitch tier for embroidery). Pick how many colors that location is, and the decoration charge for it is pulled from the grid.
Watch it price itself
The unit price is now (blank × markup) + the decoration charge for every location. Change the quantity and it re-resolves the matrix tier — so 24
shirts and 144 shirts price differently, automatically. Change a location’s
colors or the blank cost and the price updates live.
On invoices
When a quote becomes an invoice, its matrix and the per-location colors come along, so the invoice prices the same way and can be re-priced there if you adjust quantities or colors.
Switching the quote back to Manual pricing leaves the prices as they were last computed — it doesn’t wipe them. From there you can edit any unit price by hand.
