Overview

The Sell Price feature in Mothernode gives you control over the final quote total—without manually editing every line item.

It’s designed for real-world pricing scenarios where you want to:

• Round numbers for cleaner proposals
• Hit target pricing (e.g., $70,000 instead of $66,620.10)
• Adjust final pricing strategically without rebuilding the quote

Instead of editing individual items, Mothernode automatically redistributes pricing across the entire quote.

How It Works

When you apply a Sell Price, Mothernode:

• Recalculates the markup across all line items
• Distributes the adjustment proportionally
• Updates the quote total to match your target price

Example (Increase Price)

• Original Quote Total: $66,620.10
• Sell Price Applied: $70,000

Mothernode increases markup across all line items to reach the new total.

Example (Decrease Price)

• Original Quote Total: $66,620.10
• Sell Price Applied: $60,000

Mothernode reduces markup across all line items to hit the lower total.

⚠️ Important Considerations

This feature is powerful—but it directly impacts profitability.

• Lowering the sell price reduces markup across all items
• This can compress or eliminate margins if pushed too far
• Always review the resulting markup before accepting

Bottom line: You’re not just changing the total—you’re changing the economics of the job.

How to Apply a Sell Price

1. Open your Quote Order
2. Click the MARGIN link (located above the grand total at the bottom right of the quote)
3. Enter your desired Sell Price
4. Confirm your adjustment
5. Review the updated markup percentage
6. Confirm to finalize the adjustment

Once applied, the quote total will reflect your target price.

Best Practices

• Use for rounding or strategic pricing, not routine adjustments
• Always review markup before confirming
• Avoid aggressive reductions unless intentional (e.g., competitive bid)
• Use in combination with job costing insights to protect margins

Summary

The Sell Price feature gives you executive-level control over your quote totals—without operational friction.

You set the number.
Mothernode handles the math.

Use it wisely, and it becomes a powerful pricing lever.
