How to Add or Update a Body Cost

Updated over 3 weeks ago

Overview

One of the pricing tools available to you in the Edit Pricing Settings pop-up is the ability to add or update body costs for an upfitted vehicle. Body costs are an essential aspect of vehicle pricing, especially when factoring in the additional costs related to customizations, modifications, or special equipment added to the vehicle body. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process of adding or updating body costs for an individual listing.

Before We Get Started

⚠️If you have chosen to have Work Truck Solutions manage body costs, then follow the steps below.

  • If Work Truck Solutions is not managing your body costs, then editing any field on this page will not affect your pricing. If you are unsure whether or not Work Truck Solutions is managing your body costs, please contact support.

  • All of the settings below will affect the selected vehicle only.

Accessing the Edit Pricing Settings Pop-Up

You can open the pricing pop-up in two ways:

Option 1: Through Inventory Management

  1. Hover over Tools in the main navigation bar and select Inventory Management.

  2. Locate the vehicle using Advanced Search or the Search Bar (by Stock Number or VIN).

  3. After finding the vehicle you want to edit:

    1. Click the Actions dropdown or Edit Pricing button in the Final Price column for the selected vehicle to open the Pricing modal.

Option 2: Through a specific Vehicle Detail Page

  1. Navigate to the specific Vehicle Detail Page for the listing.

  2. Scroll to the bottom of the VDP and click the Pricing button in the red lock section to open the modal.

Both methods will take you to the same Edit Pricing Settings pop-up. The following steps apply regardless of how you accessed it.

How to Add or Update a Body Cost

Step 1: Access Edit Pricing Settings window

  • Once you have clicked the Pricing button for the selected vehicle from either starting point, this will open the Edit Pricing Settings window.

Step 2: Select which Pricing tool you want to access

  • To add or update a Body cost for the selected vehicle, click on the Body Costs tab.

Step 3: Enter in your Body Cost or Add-On Cost

  • Enter the desired body cost into the Body Cost field or Add-On Cost.

    • Once a value is entered, the system will automatically update the final price to reflect the new Body Cost or Add-On Cost.

Step 4: Finalizing Your Changes

  • If you only need to make changes using the Body Cost tab and are satisfied with your updates, you can click the Close button in the bottom right corner of the Edit Pricing Settings pop-up to exit.

  • If you wish to continue editing other pricing details, you can easily click on the relevant tab (e.g., Final Price, Rebates and Fees or Display) to explore additional options and make further changes to your vehicle's pricing or display settings.

Conclusion

Accurate body cost updates are essential for maintaining correct pricing on your vehicles. By following the steps above, you can easily add or adjust body costs when managed by Work Truck Solutions. If your body costs are not managed by them, changes on this page won’t be reflected in your pricing—so it’s always a good idea to confirm your setup with support if you’re unsure. Keeping this information up to date helps ensure your listings remain competitive and accurate.
