Viewing the Product Cost and Margin


Now that cost lists have been set up and associated with a price list or a rate list, any user can view the cost and the profit margin of products on that price list or rate list.

The margin is displayed as a decimal, as described in About Cost Lists.

NOTE:  Before viewing the cost and margin for a rate list, you must configure the product using Siebel Tools to expose those fields. For more information about using Siebel Tools, see Siebel Tools Reference.
