# Price Markups
**{{variable.GTX Bold}}** enables complex product prices to be automatically updated using markups.
A markup can be either an **amount** or a **percentage** that is added to an item’s normal cost, special cost, last cost, supplier list, or average cost.
[Markup groups](/gtx/docs/price-markups#markup-groups) contain calculation rules such as amount or percentage, base cost, ranges and rounding.
[Markup sets](/gtx/docs/price-markups#markup-sets) brings the different markup groups together (one per price type) into a single structure that can then be assigned to [individual products](/gtx/docs/price-markups#individual-products), [product groups](/gtx/docs/price-markups#product-groups) and [product supergroups](/gtx/docs/price-markups#product-supergroups).
These prices are then automatically applied when adding products to orders and invoices.
:::(Info) (Note)
In **centralised systems**, markups can only be added and assigned at the head office.
:::
## Markup Groups
**Markup groups** need to be added first, because they are used to build markup sets.
They define the **dollar amounts** or **percentages** by which prices are calculated.
**Cost ranges** can also be assigned to markup groups so that the markup added to an item depends on its cost.
Markup groups can be viewed and edited by selecting **System > System Files > Products > Markup Groups** from the menu bar.
### Adding Markup Groups
#### System > System Files > Products > Markup Groups
New markup groups can be added by clicking on the **{{glossary.Add}}** button at the top of the Markup Groups window.
The **Add Markup** window will open.
**In the Details tab:**
* Enter a unique **Code** and **Name** to identify the markup.
* **Base Price with SOH:** Starting cost for calculating prices for products with stock on hand
* **Base Price no SOH:** Starting cost for calculating prices for products without stock on hand
* **Amount:**
* **If cost ranges will not be used:** Enter dollar amount or percentage to be added to the starting cost
* **If cost ranges will be used** Leave blank
* **Calculation Method:** Select whether the amount should be applied as a percentage, added as a dollar mount or as a percentage of the gross profit margin
>It would make a lot more sense if this came before the amount part - add a ticket?
* **Rounding Type:** Select up, down or none
* **Rounding Amount:** Enter the amount to round to using the method selected above
* **Example:** To round to the nearest 10 dollars, enter "10"
**[Cost ranges](/gtx/docs/price-markups#cost-ranges)** can also be assigned to markup groups so that the markup added to an item depends on its cost.
### Cost Ranges
#### System > System Files > Products > Markup Groups > [Markup Group]
Cost ranges can be added to markup group by clicking on the **{{glossary.Add}}** button above the Cost Ranges list at the bottom of its Details tab.
The **Add Cost range** pop-up will open.
**In the pop-up:**
* Enter the **Maximum Cost** to define the range
* Enter the **Markup Amount** to apply to all costs below that amount
* The fields will be % or $ depending on the **Calculation Method** selected previously
* Click **Ok**
* **Repeat** as required

:::(Warning) (Warning)
**Do not leave gaps in cost ranges:** Ensure the maximum cost for the highest cost range is greater than the highest cost of any product assigned to the markup group.
:::
When you are finished adding Cost ranges, click on the **{{glossary.Save}}** button at the top of the module window.
## Markup Sets
**Markup sets** link price types, such as retail or wholesale, to [markup groups](/gtx/docs/price-markups#markup-groups).
One all-encompassing markup set can be added, or **multiple sets** can be defined based on product types or brands.
:::(Error) (Example)
**Markups might be applied by:**
* Assigning the same markup set to **all products**
* Assigning different markup sets to groups of **similar products**, such as tyres, wheels and batteries.
* Assigning different markups to brands within a **[product group](https://help.megabus.com.au/gtx/docs/product-groups)**
:::
Markup sets can be viewed and edited by selecting **System > System Files > Products > Markup Sets** from the menu bar.
### Adding Markup Sets
#### System > System Files > Products > Markup Sets
New markup sets can be added by clicking on the **{{glossary.Add}}** button at the top of the Markup Sets Maintenance window.
The **Add Markup Set** window will open.
**In the Details tab:**
* Enter a unique **Code** and **Name** to identify the markup set
* Select a **Retail Markup Group** and **Wholesale Markup Group** to apply the set to, as required
* Click **{{glossary.Save}}** (top of module)
Markup sets can then be [assigned](/gtx/docs/price-markups#assigning-markup-sets-to-products) using the methods below.
## Assigning Markup Sets to Products
Markup sets can be assigned to [individual products](/gtx/docs/price-markups#individual-products), [product groups](/gtx/docs/price-markups#product-groups) and [product supergroups](/gtx/docs/price-markups#product-supergroups) and even [multiple products](/gtx/docs/price-markups#multiple-products) at once.
### Individual Products
Markup sets can be assigned to products using maintenance files, which can be accessed by selecting **Main > Products > Manage Products** from the menu bar.
**To assign a product to a markup set:**
* Open the product's maintenance file in **{{glossary.Edit}}** mode
* Click on the **Options** tab at the top
* Use the **Markup Set** picker to select the set
* Click **{{glossary.Save}}** (top of module)
You can also assign markup sets to multiple products at once, using [product groups](/gtx/docs/price-markups#product-groups) and [supergroups](/gtx/docs/price-markups#product-supergroups) or [bulk file maintenance](/gtx/docs/price-markups#multiple-products) (for a smaller amount of ungrouped products).
### Product Groups
Markup sets can be assigned to product groups by selecting **System > System Files > Products > Product Groups** from the menu bar.
**To assign a product group to a markup set:**
* Open the product group in **{{glossary.Edit}}** mode
* Use the **Markup Set** picker to select the set
* Click **{{glossary.Save}}** (top of module)

### Product Supergroups
Markup sets can be assigned to [product supergroups](https://help.megabus.com.au/gtx/docs/product-groups#product-supergroups) by selecting **System > System Files > Products > Product Supergroups** from the menu bar.
**To assign a product group to a markup set:**
* Open the product supergroup in **{{glossary.Edit}}** mode
* Use the **Markup Set** picker to select the set
* Click **{{glossary.Save}}** (top of module)
### Multiple Products
Markup sets can be assigned to multiple items at once by selecting **Tools > Bulk File Operations > Bulk File Maintenance** from the menu bar.
The **Select Master File** window will open:
* Select **Stock Master** to open the **Bulk Maintenance** window.
**To assign markup sets:**
* Define a range of items.
* Select a method for sorting the items from the **Sort By** drop-down
* Press **Alt + R** to restrict the view and specify the range of items.
**For further assistance:** See the [Bulk File Maintenance](https://help.megabus.com.au/gtx/docs/bulk-file-maintenance) help guide
* Click **Remove Columns** (bottom left)
* Click **Remove All** (bottom left)
* Tick **MarkupSetCode**
* Click **Ok**
**For each item to update:**
* Select the lower cell in the MarkupSetCode column and press **F4** to select a markup set.
* **Note:** You can only scroll the products list using the up and down keyboard arrows
* **Repeat** as required.
* Click **Update** (top right)
* Confirm with **Yes**.
* Click **Yes** or **No** to export the changes
* Click **OK** to close the completion message
:::(Info) (Note)
If the restrictions prompt appears, click **Yes** to continue.

:::(Warning) (Tip)
Markup sets can be more quickly applied to multiple products using [product groups](/gtx/docs/price-markups#product-groups) and [supergroups](/gtx/docs/price-markups#product-supergroups).
