Questions

Do I need exact prices to start?

No. Start with your best guess. Record a new price when you buy, and every product that uses it updates too.

What happens when material prices go up?

Your costs update. If a product now sells below cost, the Bee tells you and suggests a new price from your margin rule.

How does the Bee work out a price?

From the product’s recipe, today’s material costs and the margin rule you set. The rule can be a percentage or a fixed amount.

Can I cost products with sizes or colours?

Yes. Each variant can use different amounts of each material.
