Click + Add Item and a modal opens with the new item form: an optional image, name, description, item type (Material or Service), category, unit, price, cost, and a Taxable checkbox that’s checked by default. As soon as you fill in Cost, Conduit calculates margin and markup automatically and shows them in the Margin % and Markup % fields. Those two fields are editable: type a markup and the price becomes cost plus that percentage; type a margin (anything under 100%) and the price becomes the cost divided by one minus that percentage, and the other percentage updates to match. Editing the price or the cost recomputes both percentages. With no cost the fields sit disabled until you enter one. If the price is still empty, typing a cost fills it from your markup: the range the cost falls in under Markup by cost in Settings > Markup, Pricing & Sales Tax, or your default markup outside every range, with a note under Price saying which markup it used. A price you type yourself is never overwritten. Click any item in the list to edit or delete it the same way.
The Vendors section of the item modal lists every vendor that supplies the item, with the vendor SKU and cost when you have them. Click Link vendor to search your company’s vendors, pick one, and optionally record the vendor’s SKU and cost for this item; Unlink next to a vendor removes it from the item (the vendor itself is untouched).
- Click + Add Item, fill in name, category, item type, cost, and price, then click Create.
- Reopen the item and notice Margin % and Markup % filled in from its price and cost; type in either to set the price from the cost.
- Uncheck Taxable for an item you don't charge sales tax on.
- Upload an image so the item is easier to spot when picking it later.
- Click an item in the list, change a field, and click Save.
- Open an item, click Delete, then Confirm to permanently remove it.
Pricebook items (interactive when scripts run): Standard Outlet Installation and Recessed LED Can Light, with an Add Item button and the real new/edit item modal.
If you charge $150 for a service call and it costs you $80, your margin is 47% and your markup is 88%. Knowing this on every line item is the difference between guessing at a quote and pricing with confidence.
