Introduction to Material Calculation
The Material Calculation screen is designed to display and edit material calculations for all articles. Material calculations offer a flexible way to link different prices to the choice of materials for order article items. This allows you to use a single article while selecting the desired material as needed and get another cost/sales price in the calculation.
This flexibility ensures that you can easily manage varying material costs across different orders while maintaining consistency in your article management.
