Procurement
Procurement combines supplier prices, procurement costs and internal calculations. Different but comparable cost patterns arise for purchased parts and manufactured items.
Procurement: Make costs visible before setting the price
The pure purchase price is rarely the whole truth. Freight, customs, risk, storage and overhead costs change the value of an item. X-ERP therefore separates them Supplier-related purchase price list from the internal item costing.
Two perspectives
- Purchasing: What does a particular supplier charge for this item – including discount, minimum quantity, lot size, delivery time and procurement costs?
- Production or internal calculation: What costs arise from components, production steps, resources and the calculated surcharges for the item?
Costs in the item
The item costing begins with procurement price. X-ERP multiplies it by the factor and adds storage costs, overhead costs, other costs and change in value. The result is the cost price.
From this cost price, two markup levels can form a calculated selling price. This calculation makes margins visible, but does not replace a sales price list.
Check before sharing
- The relevant supplier price is current for purchased parts.
- Discounts and purchase costs are complete.
- For manufactured items, components and resources are correctly calculated.
- The price unit is understood to be identical in purchase and item.
- Cost of goods sold and the actual selling price result in a plausible margin.
Target image
A clear procurement price makes decisions comparable: buy, manufacture yourself, renegotiate or adjust the selling price.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between purchase price and procurement price?
The purchase price belongs to a specific supplier. The procurement price of the item calculation is the internal starting point for cost costs and sales calculation.
Are procurement costs taken into account?
In the purchase price list, logistics, customs and risk costs together with price and discount form the purchase costs.
Will the calculated selling price be sold automatically?
No. Sales documents use their sales price list.
