How To: Resell stock at cost price

The only completely accurate way to resell stock at cost price is to manually adjust the sell price on the sales order. However price lists can be used to provide a very close approximation, as in the following examples:

Stock Item/Customer

A very close approximation (where the specified stock item is resold to a selected customer at minimal markup) can be achieved by creating a stock item/customer price list and setting the "Base Markup percentage" value to "0.01", as in the following screenshot:
Note: the percentage must be 0.01 as the system will ignore a value of 0.00.

Stock Type/Price List

Where, for example, a company allows its Directors to purchase any stock item at minimal markup, using a Company Class/Stock Type price list may be preferable as this requires less maintenance (only needing to be changed whenever a new stock type is created), as in this screenshot where the markup percentage has been set to "0.01":
Note: the percentage must be 0.01 as the system will ignore a value of 0.00.
